Teddy Roosevelt:
At Sobonne,

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the
dust and the sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and come up
short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

We are proud of you Darboe for standing up when nickles ruled the day, when
the sprinkle of dust crave relevance, when hardly popular figures wish to
emerged. You rise up, taking the mantle, not fearing even though it was your
first involvement in direct politics. Your personal fortune overlap over
D8million, your calibre in your field were few, all major contracts fell at
your feet, you decline a prestigious job with the U.N, all in the quest of
biting the bullet. Let macabre fools glee at their own impotence.

However, you knew Ousainou that, it will evaporate because dictators aim to
impoverish the people 'Aristotule says'. You were arrested, persecuted and
tried. You remain the calmer of the scared, the figure to be trusted when
some wish war and blood.
fight on comrade, this struggle is not a fashion contest, not an oratory
melodrama, it is a simple dictatorship.... a kind prevalent all over
our continent.
You have made the calls, the approach for togetherness, hold your head high,
we are with you...who can be more inclusive than you? Only chicken heads
will blame you for the acts of a dictator's crimes. But then, clowns come in
all shapes and sizes.
Tribute to Lawyer Ousainou Darboe
