If my predictions are right then it seems very
unlikely that Assan Musa Camara will join APRC. The
man seems to be disgusted with the current state of
disunity within the opposition. I have the sneaking
feeling that he wants to resurrect his own political
party.
Moreover, I am not surprised that he resigned from the
Coalition, since this ad hoc group was set up to
contest the last Presidential Elections, questions
must be asked whether it is feasible to still have
such group in place.
Finally, in previous interviews, Assan Musa Camara has
stated categorically that he will never join APRC due
to the fact that some of his Arch rival like Buba
Baldeh, Alhagi Banta Camara are associated with the
APRC.
Just a thought, no hard feelings
