Dramane,
Spare us your diatribe and insignificant prose.
Yankuba was responding to your attempt at slandering and insulting a parent
of his. You haven't really seen a commensurate response from Yankuba
regarding Shekhu Bai Drammeh. I am confident you would want to refrain from
casting stones on any coleague's parents here if you were to know your own
family's history. You want us to believe that your crimes against Yankuba are
issue-driven. Go to hell. And in a handbasket. Only you know why you are
sharing with us the disagreements you have with your own family members. As
far as I am concerned, that is insignificant to Gambia and Gambians. It is
your private family life, and please do not commute it to the Gambian public,
the mirages of your family members and friends serving in various
governments notwithstanding.
You should be able to differentiate between what is important and of value
to us as opposed to what is and should remain private for you and your
family. Do not unnecessarily bring other members of your family into your
global cluelessness.
Now go away. To Posten, from under which rock you crawled.
Haruna.

I will no longer respond to Yankuba Darboe unless he is prepared to talk
about issues. He does not deserved to to be responded to. Let the members of
the L make their own judgement. He has confirm to the L that his support
and defence of Darboe is based on nepotism which is sad. He is still
attacking me personally. Thus this will be my last response to Yanks until he
grows up. About your expectation of Halifa and co taking on Jammeh and
removing him from power, I will respond separately not to you but the members of
the L.

"I believe that Muhammed Drammeh betrayed his own guidelines. Drammeh
initially advised that Ousainou should not be deemed to be a coward for seeking
sanctuary at the Senegalese High Commission but then not not only did he,
Drammeh, subsequently personally try to prosecute Ousainou he ultimately
went to the extent of sentencing Ousainou to life on the
'Island-of-no-return-from-cowardice'. Seriously, If Ousainou were a coward or a selfish
opportunist, he would have by now joined the APRC regime in some capacity" By
Bailo Jallow
Bailo; you speak the language of the quran in the above statement, i could
not add anything more to it. Unfortunately, the only person who is still
oblivion to this fact is Mr Drammeh. As he wondered why he was condemed for
his blasphemy.
Lord Devlin once said "a rebel is right in thinking that he has a right to
rebel against society, but he was wrong to think that society would
condone his rebellion".
Mr Drammeh started his diatribe on 5 April 2009 on the Gambia post. At
first i did not want to read it or participate in it. But the post was not
enough for Mr Drammeh. So he brought it to the Gambia L, who knows where else
he was heading with it, if did hep him to put sense in him,
Fredomnewspaper, BBC, CNN. That was the reason for my timely intervention, which was two
weeks later on 17 April 2009.
Contrary to what Mr Drammeh struggled to allege, I did not start by
attacking him. I started by asking him to explain what was his yardstick to
confirm that Ousainou is a coward. He never bothered to asnwer this. I tried to
help him understand the rational behind Darboe's actions. I even went as
far as explaining to him that what Ousainou did was not cowardice but that
of a Lawyer exercising his convention right, under the 1951 Geneva
convention.
However, just as Saihou Mbalow, Haruna, Suntu, Ginny, and many others had
tried and failed, I had also failed to convince this man that Ousainou is
not a coward. However, to make matters worst and unlike his reactions to
others, this ballooney started fabricating stories about me being chased by
Major Bojang. That was very much uncalled for, then he wondered why i had to
go after his lineage.
The simple truth is that Drammeh thinks he is a clever man, but he is a
fool! He claimed that Ousainou is a coward; I am a coward, because i ran away
from Major Bojang; Haruna is a coward, because he wouldn't bother
responding to his emails. So, he expected me to do, what derided, as "the Darboe
thing". This hero boy failed to understand that what he was insinuating was
an insult to all Darboe's without realising. Yet he finds it offending
that his father was dragged into the banter.
If Drammeh only claimed to be a PDOIS, NADD, sympathiser, our exchanges
wouldn't have gone this far. Simply because, Drammeh, is not the only Talibe
of Halifa Sallah in this forum. However, his difference to the rest is
that they know their bounds whilst he doesn't. You can support a party without
insulting others.
However, once you attack or insult other people's party, you cannot expect
them to condone your actions; fact. Drammeh could have done a good job by
just stating the fact that he is a PDIOS supporter or even go further to
praise Halifa, Sidia and Sam as the power of trinity. Write books about
their bravery and see if i care!
As far as I am concern, if Halifa, Sidia and Sam are that brave, they
would scold Yahya by the throat and drag him out of State House. But they have
not done that yet, have they? So what's the fuss about their gallantry?
As for the actions of Dr Jaiteh, I do not wish to comment. I knew Dr
Jaiteh at Kotu Bojang's compound in Brikama, i do not think he would remember me
now, that's if its the same Dr Jaiteh. I had high regards for the man
then then and will continue to have that for him now, even if he decides to
exclude me from his national bantaba.
I had been excluded from the Gambia post, then Yusupha and George
reinstate me few months ago without my authorisation. However, i still chose not to
contribute on there beacuse their actions are only akin to that of Yahya
Jammeh.
I hate censureship and cannot see a moral justification for it. For that
reason i commend all those who stand against it here. I will go silent for
now, but will surely come back if i heard any more Lawyer Darboe diatribe.
I rest my case!
Yanks Darboe
The Darboe's don't run and are not cowards, simple!!!!

Dear All,
I am very grateful for all your effort in ensuring my right to participate
in the democratic process of The Gambia.
Some of you disagree with you but you still want my rights to express
myself restored. I cannot say anymore except to express my gratitude.
Members of the L know that my attacks on Darboe were not personal at all
and all I did is to talk about issues. My brother Musa Drammeh won two
elections for the PPP in 1987 and 1992 in Sandu. My cousin Chondi Drammeh stood
for election for the UDP in the 1997 parliamentary election and lost.
However much they are attacked I will not take it personally and I was still
opposed to the PPP even though Musa Drammeh was a parliamentary secretary
under the Jawara government. I oppose the APRC government even though Susan
Waffa-Ogoo who taught me English Language until I passed my Common Entrance
Examination was/is Secretary of state under Jammeh. My dad's elder brother
Alhagie Bineh Drammeh stood for the GPP in 1987 election. Despite my
relations with the above I will not react if they are attacked for their
policies. Despite Yankuba Darboe's relation with Darboe he should never have
reacted the way he does simply because Darboe is his relative. I only attacked
the action of Darboe. As matter of fact I would not have come to this
conclusion should Yankuba Darboe not started trading in insults. I was not
allowed to contribute to the L while Yankuba was allowed to continuously call me
a liar. Despite all these I refrain initially to respond to Yankuba in
the way he started. Yankuba went as far as insulting my Dad who has never ran
for office of any sort. Thus there was no need to attack my dad on the
grounds of "emotional reactionarism". Some in in L call me a PDOIS supporter.
Yankuba Darboe went as far as calling me an NIA. He even accused me of
being an APRC supporter. No no no I have never been an NIA never will and I
have never supported the APRC and never will. however my opposition to Jammeh
is not geared towards the hatred of his language grouping. It is geared
towards my opposition towards his policies. I still have a very good relation
with Susan Waffa-Ogoo despite our political difference. The last time I
was in The Gambia I even visited her home. As a matter of fact some of
Susan's friend thought that she was my mum.
Thus members of the L I support or oppose a parties simply because of
policies not because of "nepotic sentiments".
Members of the L may I inform you that it was my friend who while in the
services of The Gambia Red Cross Society, was shot dead in headquarters of
The Gambia Red Cross Society. This was my friend and his name is Omar
Barrow. When I went to The Gambia in 2004 I visited his widow Awa Sanneh. If
there is anyone who should be angry I should be the angriest. I lost a
personal friend. My anger however will never be geared towards the hatred of
Jammeh's tribe but my opposition of his policies. This is what principled
people do. They act and they do not react. I believe in a Gambia of Productive
economy, I believe in a Gambia where labour is rewarded and not mere the
labour power being paid for. I believe in a Gambia where every one should live
in liberty dignity and prosperity. I believe in an enlightened Gambia. I
believe in the Gambia where Presidential monarchy is demystified. I believe
in The Gambia where every one say no to exploitation, no to servitude, no
to degradation, no to cowardice, no to political bullying, no to
dictatorship, no to megalomania, no to tribalism, no to nepotism, no to opportunism
and no to poverty. I believe in The Gambia where there is equal opportunity
for all. I believe in my life time of in the life time of my grand
children this will happen.
Members of the L we are all working towards the common good of The Gambia.
We will ever be true to The Gambia. It is time that we start working for
The Gambia. It is time we throw away the vices of tribal sentiments and
concentrate on the national interest. It is time for honest leaders to emerge
to at least to support the honest and brave ones we have at the moment. In
Sedia Jatta, Halifa Sallah and Sam Sarr we have honest, brave and
principled leaders and thus they should be supported despite our sentiments.
