Conteh,
Your words are not taken lightly. I read FOROYAA's postings on the Dibba
press conference, and no one can say that some of us have not said that
before. The PPP have been a party of division and rule since its inception.
We have seen how unlce Pa Sanjally confronted the Jawara issue. I can tell
you and you know very well that the PPP was built under the Mandingo
umbrella. At this time of our history when we need all of our people more
than anything else, I cannot stand by and see such a group trying to come
back to power without raising my voice.
Reading what Dibba said just proved to us that there is more here than what
the UDP and PPP alliance said.
I have seen and read all these postings, and I have NOT read anywhere that
the so-called forged alliance is more than two parties, the UDP and PPP. And
yes it is true that Darboe and his colleagues lead by Omar Jallow the
secretly nominated Vice President of Darboe have bought Cola-nuts and
declared that Darboe has been chossen to lead a United Opposition. Which
United Oppostion I asked myself. This is what has been going on since. I do
not want to be the divider here, but the day the UDP was first nominating
Darboe, they simultaneously had a phone conversation with Dawda Jawara. The
former president clearly said to them that he is choosing Darboe for he is
electable and that he is a Mandingo who could win support in the provinces.
Most of those making so much noise about Darboe in this forum do not know the
premises that Darboe was nominated upon. To those, I tell them to give us a
break and go ask more questions. It is true that I have serious problems with
the PPP and dare not hide that. I had the utmost opportunity to talk to
Jawara in 1994, and I told him exactly how I feel. I never called him. He
called me. I will not dwell on that much.
Unless the Gambian leaders are able to look one another in the eye and say
"NO" to such under hand tactics the PPP and the UDP are engaged in, we have a
long way to go. We cannot go any further. Coming to the L to correct one
another's English as "Dampha" want to engage me in is not my interest. And to
talk about some of my family members, was the least I would have expected. I
probebly would have address him if he was brave enough to use his own name
and defend what he had to say than hide. I am not here to disrespect anyone
and my records speaks for itself. I will NEVER write to anyone who I am sure
is using a false name in this forum.

Ousman Jallow Bojang.
