Afinjang,
Its a great idea for foroyaa to complement its newsletter with radio broadcast and in as many languages as possible. I am with you on that. Being a private endeavour, I was calling your attention to the proper way to raise capital expenditure funds. I didn't know if you were aware of that or not. Unless of course PDOIS/Halifa is an NGO soliciting funds from the public for a private venture borders too much on illicit activity. I think you may be putting the cart before the horse. If Foroyaa wishes to raise funds from the public for a radio station, I advise it ammends its organisational form and or charter. As it is, Foroyaa is treading on thin ice masquerading as a bona-fide newspaper. It is skirting campaign laws by fronting as a public newspaper. FYI, Foroyaa interpretes the constitution according to how PDOIS wishes it were. State V. Foroyaa may be unavoidable just as Citizens V. Observer may be. I think you understand what I mean. Just because Yahya averses the constitution for the benefit of APRC doesn't mean PDOIS/Halifa ought to averse that constitution. PDOIS is best advised to challenge Yahya in the law courts rather than imitate him.
Allez. Haruna.

rasta ,jah bless
haruna, ok i understand your position about
the plea i made for foroyaa, the reason i made this plea is that, foroyaa is a very educative newspaper and they are always trying by all means to educate the gambian peoples ,by explaining the constitution and telling peoples their rights and duties as a citizen, but i observed that its only 20 percent of the gambian electorates that have access to read newspaper, and the electorates prefer to buy batteries for the radios to served them two weeks than buying a newspaper ,just like me sometimes i saved my 15 dalasis for breakfast or transport fares, before spending it on the internet for 30 min.
And also the radio station can be use to get in touch with the electorates by using the local languages (as 60 percent of the electorates are illiterates ).

Afinjang Dampha. The only exception I have is your plea for Gambians abroad to help Foroyaa with a Radio station. The plea I presume is for PDOIS diasporans and not for a prospective coalition radio station. Foroyaa is PDOIS' newsletter. Yahya has usurped the national radio and TV. I think a Foroyaa radio station comes too close to growing a parallel tyrannous regime even as PDOIS is concerned about what comes Post-Jammeh. A private
enterprise radio station will find it hard to live but that is the proper perspective. Then the coalition can purchase airtime and advertising. In other words prosecute the campaign above board even amid difficulties. What say you?
I think you and Bailo make good points. Keep the conversation going. The ideas will mature. Haruna.

Bailo raise some good points and i think something can come out of it when given a chance. UDP is the only opposition party that can pull over 100,000 votes .The problem of the last coalition is the issue of leadership and the rules and regulations put in place for the leadership of the coalition. Nadd coordinator was so much concern of after jammeh, rather=2 0than tackling the changed the gambian peoples want at that time.You cannot teach the electorates how to choose a good leader or who is good or bad, when the electorate did not believe that change is possible through the ballot.
In my own opinion , i think that any gambian who comes after jammeh ,will be better than Jammeh, so what we need now is just someone who can workout for the change ,by convincing the electorate that change is possible through the ballot.
Gambian oppositions always stand a chance ,if one take a closer look of the number votes the oppositions had and the the
number of peoples that refused to vote during the last elections . The target of the next coalitions should be to those peoples who did not want to vote in one way or the other.
I would also like to suggest for the Gambians abroad to consider helping foroyaa with a FM Radio station, so that the opposition can have place to broadcast their meetings.
On campaign style ,lets used the campaign style that gambian electorates known ,house to house ,bantaba to bantaba .I would like to suggest two songs of yusu ndour to be used during campaign periods for the next coalitions,the songs are "JUMM" and "DOLEH". AS we all know that before meetings starts they used to play musics, so this two songs are very good songs and its has a strong message that can counter "AFINJANG".
