Aunty Jabou, I respectfully disagree with you and Mohin saying that NO ONE can influence President Jammeh's decisions/actions. He has failed the Gambians in certain things, but the guy does talk and listen to some people. And he is aware of the fact that not all those who has access to him may tell him the truth. I think if he was not going to listen to the Gambian people he would not have been re-elected. I have no doubt that if he is deem as not serving the interest of the nation, he would have been replaced one way or the other. Jammeh is no Godly and not without faults, but he is part of a party with some very good people who will not join him if he was just going to sit there and dictate everything. He does take some actions which at times one would wish he consulted you, but it does not mean that he failed to listen to some. And I am sure if he feels, and I repeat "feels" that the government's interest is at risk, he might take actions that might not be very favorable in the Diaspora. And this is one thing we all need to learn from the folks at home. A lot of our people do not share our theory of the facts on the ground and this is one reason why a lot of Gambians who recently traveled to home have some change of hearts. Not all of us have to support President Jammeh or be part of the APRC. He has to have some opponents. And as long as it is all to the interest of the nation, there is nothing wrong with that. And to Mohin, if you think that some one like Dr. Janneh's change of position is not that important to be discussed, you must be in another world. Anyone as long as they are Gambians are very important to national development. Sure Dr. have been very active against this government and all that made his change of position more important. Dr. Janneh has been very important to the opposition so why not to the APRC? Let us all agree to disagree and accept the Mandika saying that "all men are equal is an insult to some men."
