Jabou, Haruna et al, happt Ramadan Mubarak. Thanks for welcoming me back to the forum after few months of silence. I am just back at the university for postgraduate last week and from now cannot be distance from the computer. On the theme of the debate, I know me, Jabou, Haruna and many who have experience rural and urban Gambia from Brufut to Koina knows about the sense of humor and good nature of Gambians. A lovely and great people tolerant to all.Our people are poor but they leave in dignify poverty. The coming of Yaya Jammeh into power has distroy those every fabric in our society. First setting bogus commission of enquiry setting people against each other that did not yield anything positive. Driving into memory lane 13 years after, is the regime transparent and democratic? What is the state of living condition? Yaya Jammeh should go by all mean necessary either by the bullet or the bollot periodically my principles. We can blame ourselves and the people but for many
who have been advocating for change is one Gambia that we vision.Looking ourselves beyond oneness will enhance the continnum of second generation in our motherland.Just like we have seen the last destruction AFPRC with the lacking of Edward, we will see the destruction of our nation if we did not act now!!!!!!!

Good to see you on the L again. Ramadan Mubarak.
I agree with you totally, but it is the people who have to resolve to make up those viable organizations. They are the ones to resist rather than just going along and those who are not going along have to resolve to join hands to achieve a common purpose because there is no other way to defeat this tyranny if we do not do that.So we must come to see the fate of the people as a whole as being more important than the fate of a single group or individual. Failing to see that is the total sum of the African's problem and the reason for our political and economic condition.

Sister Jabou
Your comment is well noted but the comfort zone is not the making our people.
The state of fear will continue and Yahya Jammeh to my observation is already a
crown king and the country Gambia is made his private property. We have to be
honest that any successful political changes cannot without a strong political
and civil organisation. For our country none of such organisation is
functioning. A regime change in the Gambia through either masse action or ballot
requires a strong organisational direction.

Suntou,
And people fail to realize that "comfort zone" position they think they have
will eventually lead to the entire society crumbling because they fail to speak
up and stand up against the dictatorship, barbarism, lawlessness and injustice
that prevails in todays Gambia.
It is also an unwise stance because these things if unchallenged,will eventually
find their way to the doorstep of every single Gambian who thought all they
needed to do was mind their own business and protect their own individual
interest.
Many Gambians and indeed Africans in general fail to comprehend that unless all
of us stand together to defend the rights of the entire society as a whole
instead of just taking care of our own individual interest, and to ensure that
the resolve to fight for as well as to actively put into practice that justice
and honesty prevails in every aspect of our lives we will continue to have
dictators and untold problems and remain the pity of the entire world.
Some of us have not been able to go home for 10 good years this year simply
because we stood up and spoke out against injustice and will continue to do so
until justice prevails. It is worth the sacrifice.

Subject: Gambians and their comfort zone mentality
why do we like been comfortable all the time ? issues that can arouse potential
discomfort are hardly touched by many .i wonder why .
or i thought may be ,it may be some the following reasons .i have a wive and
two children and i live in u.s/Europe and if i keep interfering in national
debates ''the all-seen,all hearing one eye'' will descend on me as soon the 747
touch down at Yumdun airport and why should i put my self in that position ?
or may be ,i just don't know what the fuss is all about .today it is yahya
,tomorrow some else ,God will decide ,it is not my problem .
or may be ,i am just minding my business ,who knows i may get a call from
yahya one day .
Well ,it is all a big waste of precious time to write about irrelevant issues
relating to the Gambia ,what can i change by writing some thing any way ?
oh no ,just look at what happen to Baba galleh in his diary of discomfort
,again Ebrima manneh ,the late Deyda RIP , loooook at that nonsense ,why
should i put myself in that precarious position .
financially ,i want to travel freely to and from Banjul with a big smile and
nice dresses ,go clubbing ,oh attending shows by Alie Mbyendery ,Pap so and so
,the mega star in himself Yousou Suma Jiken ,woow .
Why should i throw all that away just for some thing i gain no direct benefit
from ? i am not silly .
hmmm ,am i really right by avoiding controversial issues concerning the
country i love so much ? what is the price of my silence to others ?
GAMBIANS AND THEIR COMFORT ZONE .
