Hello Mr Conteh,
To generalise my scenerio, base on the fact that,the statistic show during
the take over not what individuals like yourself did.Maybe you are reading
my points negetively for the second time.

In my mail concerning this issue, I stated all what you are pondering on
which convince me that you do not read my postings positively because I am
neither supporting the regim of Jammeh nor do i to Jawara. Brother can't
you understand that we are different in opinions and what matters is to
work together for the common good of the Gambia. This however, cannot be
achieve without co-operation and understanding within our selves.

Nepotism is what military government stand for in some point for
their own security, yet people are chanting for the same means to gain
power in the Gambia. Sorry if I offended you, but I think you are one of
the power hungry somebody who cannot wait to be a leader but force himself
to it.I am sure Yaya will not win the election if free and fair since
before the student event and more after. The only thing we can do as true
Gambians at heart, is what some thinkers of this forum are seggesting,that
is to pressurize the government by demonstrations and respective letters
to the UN and other donor countries and organisation now on to the 2001
election.Using military means to overthrow is just from the frying pan to
the fire regarding to macro/micro environment of our mother land.

To my understanding of unity is not we should all agree to one kind of
solution. Without brainstorming,nothing will be right since no matter what
wrong an idea happen to contain everyone will agree on it like it have
been happening in the Africa particularly The Gambia for decates now.These
kinds of habits are what we should try to eradicate from our context and
believes.People are so much superior minded obove the other resulting
to colapse in the systems of administration due elitisms.
MAY GOD SUSTAIN PEACE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAMBIA FOLKS AND THE
GAMBIA AS A COUNTRY.MAY WE AT THE END OF THE DAY, COMES TOGETHER AND BE
THE SAVIOUR INTELLECTUALLY OF OUR SMALL GAMBIA. AMENALLAU YARABI.
