Contradictions And Contradictions




We cannot understand that following Jammeh's address to the nation, students
would still be languishing in custody. We cannot understand that after declaring
a week of mourning, the students are still being held.


We cannot understand that while he was visiting the RVH praying for wounded
students, the others were still being held in detention.


We cannot also understand that the government's legal adviser(s) have not told
them that it is unconstitutional to continue to detain the students for such a
long time.


We cannot understand that the calls for full adherence to the rule of rule are
totally ignored, if not being treated with contempt.


We cannot understand that people who said that the dead are bandits who deserved
to die are still around.


We cannot understand that the talk of reconciliation is not matched by the
needed remedial measures that are being echoed and re-echoed by truthful people
like uncle Joachim Dacosta.


We cannot understand that rumours have it that families of dead students are
being visited and sympatished with, yet the students that survived the carnage
are still in custody.


We cannot understand that in this grave moment of our history, some people are
bent on pleasing, patronising instead of giving truthful and proper
remonstrances and advices.


We cannot understand that government has not yet set up an independent
commission of inquiry to deal with the problem.


We cannot understand that some bodies are still keeping mute.


The truth is, as the old man put it, whether it is known or unknown to
government, the vast majority of the people abhor what has taken place, and are
silently waiting to see what will be done to resolve this issue.
