<< If my reading of the Bantaba and the crisis at home are accurate, we
must begin to work with President Jammeh, his Government and the Gambian
People to resolve these issues. And as the Presidential and National
Assembly elections are fast approaching, it is imperative that the
political system be opened up.
I propose that at minimum, all political parties and politicians that
were banned shortly before the 1996 elections, be unbanned and let the
Gambian people decide who rules them.
The latter it appears to me and many more on the Bantaba, is a way to
realizing this vision for Gambia and Gambians. To me, this is beyond
partisan politics. It is life of a people and of future generations.
This could be our challenge to President Jammeh and his government.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Abdoulaye,
Thanks for the observations, it is clearly what we are looking to accomplish
for our country. Your suggestion would be the ultimate for the Gambia.
However, l am not of the belief that we are dealing with individuals who
think on this level, otherwise, we would not have had the grave miscarriages
of justice, human rights violations, even murder, etc just to name a few of
the ugly things that continue to be carried out as if they were just a
normal part of daily life. Perhaps we will all be accorded a big surprise if
this challenge is taken up. Cheers.
Jabou
