Sister, such shallow, narrow, redundant and frantic misstatements lobbed at 
the Movement and G-L, as a fringed group that hates Gambia and everything 
that has to do with Yahya, is immature at its lowest common denominator and 
paranoic-denial at its highest. As a sure-looser hound-dog for the regime, 
aren't you taking the easy way out by turning to extreme misguided/directecd 
chauvinism and defender of Yahya and his reactionary lot, instead of 20-20 
vision of/for Gambia and what its collective sons and daughters bring to the 
debate?  First of all, the number of active Movement member-graduates [in the 
queen's medium of instruction, English] is less than 20, and in Arabic 
schooling, more than 70. Since its inception, this Movement decided against 
the formation of elected positions of President, Chairman, Secretary, etc., 
instead, advocates for sincere and undaunting volunteerism, which 
surprisingly, guarantees our strength and devotion to restoration of 
democracy in the Gambia, nothing more, nothing less. Not until recently, did 
the necessity came up that we have to register as a Not for Profit Entity in 
the USA and an NGO in Gambia. Our Sister/Brother Movement in the U.K. were 
helpful in providing us with their constitution and bylaws as a guide, so as 
not to duplicate our mission[s].  Hence the reason why, we will rally behind 
any realistic/progressive group[s] or individual[s], whose scope of Gambia's 
transformation and survival, is long term and not, opportunistic, egocentric 
or demagogic or demigodic at its worst. Like the other ilk's of Yahya's hound 
dogs maurading/masquerading the GL as lumpent opportunist's, you're no better 
than their 'wind bags. Their and your fears and frustrations at their/your 
helplessness, are mounting to a point of political paranoia which can 
demonize people of your caliber, to turn to the 'law of survival' in the 
narrowest sense - DECREES, INDEMNITY ACTS, STATE OF EMERGENCIES, ETC. The 
frenetic scene around you guys, is so bewildering as to induce one, to either 
drop out into a private world, the nonexistence past [blame Jawara for 
everything], therefore creating a maladjustment syndrome social schizophrenia 
amongst your family, friends and coworkers. Insecure in the fast-changing 
world, thanks to the Internet [Gambia-L especially], you guys cling to 
illusory fixed-points which you have envisage as real, just to appease the 
dictator, in order to secure or keep your JOB....nothhing more than 'HOUSE 
NEGROES.'  Observing the desperate actions or inaction of these 
'IFANGBONDI'S' frequently sidetracking us on the real issues, they use 
revealing adjectives such as troublemakers; asylum seeker's; do you own a 
home in the Gambia?...Yahya has 27 within a seven-year period; have you seen 
our..Yahya will say MY AIRPORT, MY HOSPITAL, MY TELEVISION, MY 'IDAPLANE' 
oops airplane, MY BUNKER at Kanilai, MY PAJERO'S, etc..etc. I understand you 
and others have a critical role to play in the essential prelude of 
reformation in the acceptance that the ways of the past with its promises for 
the future no longer works, therefore, we on the Gambia-l [YOUR WORST 
NIGHTMARES] must move on ahead. As Ebrima Ceesay eloquently stated, WHERE WE 
MOVE TO, MAY NOT BE DEFINITE OR CERTAIN, BUT MOVE TO ACTION, WE MUST. EVEN 
THOUGH WE, GAMBIANS RESIDING ABROAD, ARE PART OF THE YAHYA'S PROBLEMS, THE 
DETERMINING FORCES OF CHANGE AND VICTORY, EVENTUALLY LIES WITH OUR COLLECTIVE 
AND CONCERTED ACTIONS WITH OPPOSITION PARTIES, STUDENTS, VICTIMIZED PRIVATE 
BUSINESSMEN/WOMEN, CONCERNED CIVIL SERVANTS AND THE SICK AND TIRED OF YAHYA 
JAMMEH/APRC/AFPRC GAMBIAN POPULACE AT LARGE.
