Burang,
There is totally no accountability in the current regime and therefore Isatou Njie should go ahead a resign, because she is not going to answer those quesetions you are talking of anyway.
I totally agree with Omar Joof.

Burang,
On sunday April 9th, 2000 during our final meeting in the build-up to what
we had planned to be a peaceful demonstration, the question "what do we do
in self defence in case we are attacked by the paramilitary police", came up
for discussions. The consensus at our meeting was that since we were
planning a peaceful demonstration, all factors that had the potential to
disrupt the peace on our side should be eliminated. Our self defence was
purported to be in remaining as peaceful as possible. You can therefore
imagine our utter amazement when VP Isatou Njie Saidy claimed in her first
statement to the public, that the shootings started from amongst the
demonstrating students. It was even more shocking to us not only because it
came from a personality for whom the majority in the student leadership had
tremendous respect for, but also because we had a meeting with her slated
for that very morning. Amongst other things, we had hoped that as a lady;
and a mother, she could have been sympathetic to our course with regards the
rape case of the thirteen year old school girl.
We have no doubt that the VP's own children were made to feel very
uncomfortable by her infamous statement. However, if she feels this is the
right time to resign and make amends for her wrongs to Gambians in general
and Gambian students in particular, she should feel free to do so. Whatever
it takes, it would be better for her to be at peace with Gambians, than be
part of a political leadership, which has demonized itself so badly through
banditry, barbarity, brutality, criminality, incompetence and bad
governance, that its very existence is becoming more and more untenable day
in day out. But leaving the Jammeh goverment is an option which she will
have to make on her own; just as forgiving her for the wrongs she did to us
in the execution of her responsibilities is a matter for the souvereign
people of the Gambia.
Omar Joof.
