I would not like to put my foot in my mouth nor would I like to have my head
in the sand(laugh) but I will do injustices to my big brother Sallah and
even betray my own conscience if I do not forward these questions to brother
Sallah, these questions have been ringing and rolling in my head and ears.
Guess I will be on the safe footing if I believes that brother Sallah is
doubtlessly a Gambian political STATESMAN and one of the highly exposed
(internationally)Gambian politician with an intellectual ability. A position
or privilege he have achieved or gained after Jammeh`s 1994 military coup
detat.(1) Brother Sallah,why do you think that you have achieved such a
political statesmanship (international exposure etc) in Jammeh`s but not in
Jawara`s era ? Do you think that the Gambian people sees any differences in
your political role  under Jawara vis a vis Jammeh´s regime?What do you
think of the interpretations if there is a different in the role or the
stausquo ? (2) Hence you are one of the oldest (not by age) politician whose
party is not ban, what then do you think is the causes for your defeats in
the last general elections(1996)? Is it because that Gambians are too
backward to understand your positions,ideas and political messages ? Or has
it some thing to do with your personality ? (3) Do you think your Serrekunda
voters inparticular and the Gambians in general clearly understood your
positions or relationship with Jammeh,Jammeh´s Afprc government and the
transitional period ? Is it true that you once lamented that you will not
stand as a candidate again if you lost the 1996 elections ? Are you going to
contest in the next elections if conditions permits ? (4)My dear brother
Halifa,though wards and the meanings are said to be betterly define by the
one who use it(author) but guess there is a general understanding of a ward
´democracy`.Hence ´democracy´is the order of the day,I therefore raise the
following questions.(a) Whom do you think is more democrat-Jawara or Jammeh
? (b)Which of the two regime-Jawara´s or Jammeh´s- is lesser democrat ?(5)
Have you ever make a political mistake and acknowledge it privately or
publicly ? Have your party ever make any political mistake before ? (6) Do
you think that your political messages reach to the majority of the Gambian
people with understanding ? As a profound Gambian intellectual with a sound
analytical tutorial methodology and uniqueness,don´t you think that you can
serve the Gambian people effectively if you happen to be a  lecturer at the
institute of learning ?
Well, who ever voluntary wants to put herself/himself in the political
service of the people must also have the endurance for the stupid questions
raise by stupid people like my self.I beg your forgiveness if my questions
are in anyway boring or offensive as that is not the purpose.However I
cannot help to raised them and certainly its is a portray of a stupid and
simple mind.
Thank you in advance. I truly hope that the questions and criticism you have
been facing will be an other source of correct reflection and make you
strong to clarify your positions-(if need be)-to the gambian people so that
"Jammeh´s transitional period" will not be a ghost in your political career.

        I remains
