Hi KB, I guess as always you are dearailing from what people are saying,
whether Darbo is kind, generous or otherwise is completely beside the point.
We are engaged in a struggle which has sides those who participated and
condoned the killing of our children cannot be complimented as being
dignified and that is precisely what Darbo did. He was so praiseful of Dr
Jobe it makes one to wonder weather Darbo has really figured that this is
not an issue of sentiments otherwise there should be no reason to to engage
in this struggle. After all, all Gambians are all related.
This is the same approach that liers under Jawara use to spread, they would
always argue that Jawara is a good man but those around him are bad. You see
with such reasoning the leader is always exonerated, excuse,excuse and more
excuses. This is not what this is all about. After all some of us are above
such penchant personality attacks but woul be resolute and vehement about
the truth.
What people would have loved to see is an Independent Darbo and not a Darbo
shackled by the chains of Jawara, UDP has PPP all over it, affirming that
Darbo was part of the status quo albeit outside. To be part of a system one
needs not be partisan, but one can be a benefactor, through patronage or
position, and tell me that Darbo was not placed in such a beneficiary
position when he use to monopolised representing all the parastals as their
lawyer. You and Hamjatta may result to any aggressive language but you
cannot detter us from addressing the essence of the struggle, after all the
whole contradiction is a class question which some of us have identified and
fully understand. Any day you are able to distinguish political ABC, then
you would understand as to why we can tell charlatans from the genuine
servants.
