Since when has an honest self-appraisal deserve a coterie of slurs 
such “Bantaba style mudslinging”, and not even speak of “divisive 
politics”...?  Since when has an ill-organized, ill-disciplined and 
rudderless bunch of Gambians in the Diaspora that has never cast a 
single ballot in Gambia elections ever represent the will of the 1.5 
Million Gambian population..?  There are much more hard questions that 
may help elucidate Waa’s political insight as reflected on his recent 
statements.  
I do not support the opposition but I do sincerely admire Waa’s 
unwavering conviction to stand for what he passionately beliefs.  He 
may not be charismatic but sure stands for some principle right or 
wrong- a case in point, he found it in himself to denounce the 
insidious corruption within UDP under the feverish leadership of 
Ousainou Darboe, and in return he got traduced with rebuking silence 
from the opposition that is now peddling a hypocritical platform of 
fighting corruption in Gambia.  Once again he is about to receive the 
same sickly moral opprobrium from some hapless cyber-critics because he 
happens to speak his mind.  If this is not censorship then what 
is.....?  If the “opposition” cannot play by the rules of democratic 
engagement then how in the world can they ever guarantee the rule of 
law when they (and God forbid) when the elections come 2006.
