Comrades:

After reading postings from Mr. MBye Sey and Dr. Jaiteh, I think
it is relevant that we concentrate on issues.  Thus, I appeal to
Mr. Tunkara and Mr. Sanneh to use the delete button in deleting
offensive postings from some.  I do not read explicit postings.
I seemly delete them.

I encourage Tunkara and Sanneh to continue writing objective 
postings.  Don't let anyone silence you.  You have every right to
participate in a decent debate.

It does not make sense to debate with people who only know
explicit words.  The Gambia's problems are our problems.  I 
believe though that the issue of tribalism has to be debated. 
Ousainou Darboe has every right to context the presidency
His critics have every right to oppose him.  But they do not 
have any right to criticize him as a Mandinka.  It is 
discriminatory to say: "Mandinkas thought they have 
birth right to the presidency."  Every Gambian has a right
to be president.  The people in the Gambia have the right
to elect a president.  I thought Mr. Drammeh was right 
when he said he does not belong to any tribe.  

Though we may not agree politically, our constant fights are
enabling Jammeh to achieve his ultimate goal.  This goal is
to divide and rule. If your enemy is arrested, I conclude with
reasonableness that Jammeh is still at the helm.  What 
are you going to do?   

I may disagree with Sister Jabou, but I will never attack 
her because deep down in me, I know she will always be 
my big sister.  I will never let that opportunity to go away. 
Oh bless her heart, I cry.

I also believe that every Gambian deserves to be treated 
justly.  I do not subscribe to the notion that an enemy 
is an enemy for ever.  I this context, I stand here to 
defend the right of every Gambian, who has been 
arrested by this dictatorship.  Remember, Jammeh is 
getting closer to every Gambian.  It may be Dibba
today, but who knows who is next?  If one sings and dances
for Dibba's arrest, who knows whether your friend, or 
big brother may be next.

Naphiyo,
Comrade Jassey-Conteh
