Well said, brother Saiks.  I think our people are much more politically sophisticated that they were before Yahya Jammeh's regime.
As for the shouts of "by any means necessary" from various subscribers on the list, I am still sharply torn in regard to the use of violence to forcibly oust the present regime. It would be absolutely foolhardy to think that Yahya Jammeh will lose a free and fair election in The Gambia.  So, for real, what alternatives do we have?

I am of the sincere belief that the GNA and the paramilitary thugs are a joke.  After all, they were sent running with their tails between their legs by the student demonstrators.  A tactically effective bomb on the state house in Kanilai, the barracks in Brikama, and Farrafenni respectively will immediately bring forth an unconditional surrender from the murderers in power.  But this is just a theoretical solution from an extremely pissed off Gambian.
