Pa Musa,
I agree with your perspective.
The major problem that we are faced with in The Gambia is not a tribal problem. It therefore cannot be addressed resorting to such a potentially divisive strategy. No tribe in the Gambia is immune to the APRC regime's disregard for human rights and constitutionality. The Jamme-led regime is being supported and propped up by Gambians of all ethnicities. We the younger generation must therefore completely reject brother/uncle Matthew`s approach. Even if Yahya should be a manifest tribalist, we cannot redress the prevailing unfortunate situation by pursuing the same myopic and self-destructive path.

The Spokesman of the National Movement for the Restoration of Democracy in The Gambia, Mathew K Jallow, says he doesn’t care if President Yahya Jammeh20is captured or killed during the nation’s efforts to oust his 15 year rule, which the NMRD-G image maker observes has been characterized by massive killing, torture, and maiming of political opponents. A fierce critic of President Jammeh, Mathew Jallow said his new political Movement is committed to doing everything humanely possible to send Jammeh packing. “ As far as I am concerned, I don’t give a damn how Jammeh gets out; all I want is for him to be gone back to where his black axxx came from, Casamance. Do you think I care about Jammeh’s wellbeing? Hell no. If he stops breathing right now I will be dancing over his nasty black ass corpse,� Jallow posited. Mr. Jallow in this exclusive interview with the Freedom Newspaper accuses President Jammeh of inciting unrest in The Gambia. “ If Jammeh thinks that he can depend on the Jolas to remain in power, he is in for rude awakening. He does not know that there are more Fulas in Guinea Bissau alone than the entire 500,000 Jola population in the entire world. This is even a little more than the just the Fula population in The Gambia. If he wants to incite tribal war in our country, using the Jolas from Casamance, he is only inviting another calamity,� he warns. Below is the full text of the interview. Please read on…….
Folks,
The above link and headline is by my Koto and Domm bayy M. Mathew Jallow and I am aghast at the poor judgement in the reported choice of words...the problem of The Gambia is not a "Jola" problem and President Jammeh is as Gambian as Pap Saine and you and I...
the slave master borders are the last thing we should use in our arguments because they lack moral authority and last...for those of us in the Diaspora with citizenship and children with citizenship, we will be inflamed if anyone suggest we go back where we came from...just like right wing whites were attacked for questioning Barack Husein Obama's citizenship and loyalty to the US, so we must also reject those amongst us who raise the same spectre..it behoves all of us to set a higher standard than those we disparage...
In my humble opinion, this language is unacceptable and unhelpful and my Koto and Dommbayy has not only lost my vot
e but also some of the respect I had for him for his life time experience and achievements!!!!
I regret!
Pa Musa Jallow
