Hello there,
The last time I checked, all indications were that the last elections in the Gambia were fair and transparent. This was confirmed by a cross section of observers, including the former British high commission. I am sure the next elections will be without any glitches and manipulation by the incumbent government.
If our friend Ebou Colley/Landing Jatta seriously wants to effect change in the Gambia, I suggest he put his efforts toward the democratic process instead of calling for violence. Besides, like Tombong pointed out, he should have stayed in the Gambia and be in the midst of any potential conflict.

These so called patriots or whatever they term themselves are day dreaming.
Why didn't they over throw the Government when they were hear? Let them come
and believe that we will just fold our hands and allow them to take over.
Keep dreaming brothers. If you want to remove Jammeh, come and participate
in the political process just like PDOIS and the others are doing otherwise
keep your peace.

quagmire, we [especially those of us residing abroad] are faced with. We can
advocate DEMON/DIRIMOcracy, whatever Yahya would like to call it, but as
long as Gambia's best brains resides abroad and those at home leaving in
droves, Yahya will never ever leave office with the kind of
electioneering....."
Could you explain what you mean by the "double standard being practiced
by.....?" Further more, what an arrogant, irresponsible and un-Gambian
statement it is to say that "but as long as Gambia's best brains resides
abroad and those at home leaving in droves..." What makes you think that
Gambia's best brains resides abroad? Please clarify brother.
PEACE
TOMBONG
