Burang, There is totally no accountability in the current regime and therefore Isatou Njie should go ahead a resign, because she is not going to answer those quesetions you are talking of anyway. I totally agree with Omar Joof. Arop Jr. omar joof <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Burang, On sunday April 9th, 2000 during our final meeting in the build-up to what we had planned to be a peaceful demonstration, the question "what do we do in self defence in case we are attacked by the paramilitary police", came up for discussions. The consensus at our meeting was that since we were planning a peaceful demonstration, all factors that had the potential to disrupt the peace on our side should be eliminated. Our self defence was purported to be in remaining as peaceful as possible. You can therefore imagine our utter amazement when VP Isatou Njie Saidy claimed in her first statement to the public, that the shootings started from amongst the demonstrating students. It was even more shocking to us not only because it came from a personality for whom the majority in the student leadership had tremendous respect for, but also because we had a meeting with her slated for that very morning. Amongst other things, we had hoped that as a lady; and a mother, she could have been sympathetic to our course with regards the rape case of the thirteen year old school girl. We have no doubt that the VP's own children were made to feel very uncomfortable by her infamous statement. However, if she feels this is the right time to resign and make amends for her wrongs to Gambians in general and Gambian students in particular, she should feel free to do so. Whatever it takes, it would be better for her to be at peace with Gambians, than be part of a political leadership, which has demonized itself so badly through banditry, barbarity, brutality, criminality, incompetence and bad governance, that its very existence is becoming more and more untenable day in day out. But leaving the Jammeh goverment is an option which she will have to make on her own; just as forgiving her for the wrongs she did to us in the execution of her responsibilities is a matter for the souvereign people of the Gambia.
