Sister Fatu,
Thanxs for your reply. We are one family, and politics should not divide us to be enemies, because regimes come and go and we still remain related. I would like you to convey my message to your government, from Yaya Jammeh to the last rank and file, that i have no hatred for any of them. You know i have many friends, who respect me very much in that regime. I for one can promise, that if Yaya is ready to meet our demands, for our rights and Justice for the murdered and the arrested, i will prove my position to the whole world. I will NEVER compromise for the TRUTH.
Nobody will tell you how i was brought up. It has not changed! My warmest greetings to Saul.
Your Bro
Elhajj
.
Ps.
Tell Blaise Jagne, that my Queens, Rooks and Bishops are still dangerous. I am very good at defeating the Swedish grandmasters. So, he needs more training.

Jabou ( a childhood friend of Ida Jahumpa ) was also in the list of liars too. I am happy, that you know Mam Babou and Ya Ansu trained us to always say the truth. It is in the name of the TRUTH, that i am against Jammeh, and not hatred as people in your camp see us. I am very proud of Joanna, Ida, Maimuna, Bala, Peggy, Bas, Pa Ebou, Modou, Babou Nyan and the rest of the family. I know african politics is very dirty, but one should be very careful with what you say, because words are just like bullets, and when they are taken out, it does not return. You have
> > your full rights to support Jammeh, but it does not mean, that you should creat enemity between you and your relatives / friends. Your father was one of the most honourable men in Gambian history and politics, who was just after the truth. I pray to see you follow suit. Extend my greetings to Ya Ramou, and Ya Amie.
> > The APRC and Jammeh has promised to stretch olive branches to all the opposition. If Jammeh keep to his words, he would be a wonderful leader of the millennium. We in the opposition want him to bring the killers of Koro Ceesay, Ebrima Barry, the soldiers and the school children to justice. As a good muslim Jammeh claims to be, and the month of Ramadan is coming, we want to see him release the political prisoners and the people he held incommunicado, without trial.. We want him to give the Gambian people their innalienable human rights, stop the NIA and 22 July thugs from harrassing their fellow Gambians just because they are oppose to APRC, to be respectful in the way he

I would personally appeal, for Ex- President Jawara who led us for thirty years to be allowed back to the country. He has indeed done some good in the country, and he is too old to live in exile. He should be given back his properties, because he owns part of it, just as Jammeh claims to own his properties. I would be very grateful, if Jammeh can add this in the matters he will be looking into. Once again,

Let us all join hands now and move our country forwards. It is time to stop blacklisting our Nation. It is time to start whitewashing our country. Finally, please know that your appeals are all being noted and will be looked into.

Many amateur analyst on this forum have allowed their emotions to get the better of them, and in the process have confidently written off Jammeh's election chances.

> > > I wonder whether these were merely engaged in wishful thinking, or they are that ignorant of Gambian politics to arrive at the erroneous conclusions they often do. The Gambian people have always voted for the party in power, no matter what amount suffering is inflicted on them by that party. For those old enough to remember the 1986 presidential elections, the overwhelming defeat of the then opposition leader was shock to all. This was after the country went through the most turbulent economic period in it's history. Currency devaluation, chronic shortages of essential commodities, mass retrenchment for many public servants and any number of difficulties that families can face.

When in July 1994, a young unknown army lieutenant mustered courage to topple the admittedly corrupt government, most who voted for him only two years ago jubilated, and concluded that Jawara had overstayed his welcome; as if the chance to remove him by the ballot never existed.

The farming community experienced unimaginable suffering for 3 consecutive years of trade season failure. Thuggery and murder have become common place. One would have thought these were grounds enough to reject the APRC at the polls. But no, having taken several leaves from the books of the previous government, the APRC went on a pre-election spending spree, the like of which had never before been seen in our country. This was enough to ensure them a resounding victory as it had always done for the PPP.

Or still, is it that we don't expect our political leadership to change by the ballot, but rather by the bullet.
