*Hello,
Daily, I tried to report how broken the opposition is. As we near the
elections, i have been exonerated several times. Here is yet another
indication that OUR DEAR LEADER will sweep the polls in 2011. The Gambian
opposition is dead and all of you should join the APRC. *
**
*All ears for a compromise or are we still stuck in first gear?*
*Musa Jeng, Atlanta*

Brother Daffeh, I have no argument to your postulation that UDP should
indeed lead an all inclusive coalition, and I
totally respect the reasons you forwarded; unfortunately I do not think it
 is going to be the compromise and I hope your
team is successful in selling it to all the parties. I have heard from you
in the past that we can still create a coalition
without PDOIS and get the same results, and I personally and a whole number
of people who have been in the struggle
for a while,  are not convinced. It does not matter how many times you said
it, as long as the UDP and STGDP for that
matter,  is unable to convince all the parties that a coalition of all
parties that we have never been able to put together
in the past sixteen years, as the most strategic and best way to remove
Jammeh, we are still stuck in first gear. Like
you, we have PDOIS backers throw in their argument of safeguards,  avoid
change for change sake and the importance
of any kind of coalition to be people driven and not smoke filled rooms with
leaders shoving their leadership into
people's throat. To them, STGDP gave similar responses: you can have all the
principles in the world, and as long as
PDOIS cannot make the sacrifices and the reaching out necessary to help in
the very truism they touted - that it is only
going to take a coaltion of parties to remove Jammeh and the APRC,
 everything else is really waste of time.

THe only difference I can see between you and myself is that I am gone pass
trying to debate or rationalize which side
of the argument is accurate, I am interested in trying to see how in Gods
name can we can find a way for a coalition that
can give us a chance to remove the tumor in the body politics in the Gambia.
President Jammeh is poised to be one of
the most dangerous leaders in Africa, hyperbole not intended, the man is a
threat that we all recognize and we should
do whatever it takes to try to bring an end to his regime. Most of us are
not totally convince that even a complete
coaltion can remove him, but it can create the environment that may
eventually give us the opportunity to get rid of him.

You maybe interested in defending and making these same arguments after the
election results are read, and our fear
that Jammeh is reelected with a landslide, but that is one debate that most
of the guys in STGDP has seen over the
years, and  believe me it is the most useless and futile exercise. Brother
Daffeh, at this juncture I can only speak for
myself,  principles, international conventions and rationalization should
take a back seat to putting together a deal that
will give us the opportunity to go to the polls in 2011 as one group and
take our campaign to the Gambian people. If we
fail to achieve that, then without a doubt all of us have contributed in
that maintaining of the present staus quo and
without a doubt to the lost of  lives that will indeed happen in the next
five years. THe challenge is to come up with at
minimum the compromise that all sides are willing to at least look at, and
like I said in the previous write up, I am all ears
from anyone to come up with it

Happy New Year, and I hope God Almighty will help in making the impossible
possible, and together bring an end to  the
nighmare in our country. Amen!
