Ousman  Jallow  Bojang

I  hope  you  did  not  forward  this  article  to  prove  a  point.  The
views  expressed  in  this  interview  reflects  how  most  on  the  L
felt  from  the  onset.  While  most  of  us  yearned  for  a  total
alliance  between  the  political  parties,  some  of  us  secretly
harboured  what  they  wanted  for  the  opposition  and  who  should
lead.  PPP  phobics  like  yourself  were  lurking  in  the  dark  waiting
for  them  to  take  any  decision.  I  am  sure  if  the  PPP  had
decided  to  go  solo,  the  bashing  and  insults  would  have  been
immense.

As  someone  rightly  pointed  out,  the  outcome  of  the  alliance  is
a  direct  reflection  of  us  Gambians.  While  some  are  in  it  for
the  betterment  of  the  Gambia,  others  are  power  hungry  bigots  who
will  not  settle  for  less  and  yet  others  are  in  it  to  settle
personal  scores.

With  time,  I  have  come  to  realize  that  there  are  some  of  us
on  the  L  who  are  using  this  forum  to  settle  personal  scores
but  masquerade  as  decent  Gambians  whose  only  concern  is  to
restore  sanity  to  our  country.  The  more  such  people  whine,  the
more  they  expose  their  true  identity  and  reasons  for  endorsing
Jammeh  or  hating  him  and  loving  or  hating  Jawara.  As  long  as
we  continue  to  put  our  personal  issues  before  the  national
issues,  we  shall  have  a  split  among  ourselves  even  wherewe  will
be  better  off  in  uniting.

There  is  a  Hadith  which  says" actions  are  but  by  intention.
Every  man  shall  have  but  what  he  intended.....".   May  God  guide
us  through  these  and  all  times.
