Mboge, during my short life in this world, I've learned one thing about humans - they can create fantasy in their mind. I grew up with and around folks who did everything you and I did or worse, and today they are the face of religion (Islam and Christianity) in the Gambia, and give them another fifty years and you will see humans run around here to cry for them to be made Saints (not that I care about that hierarchy nonsense). I have also seen some of the sons of the Religious Enterprise in Senegal, right here in DC do everything, drinking being the least of their vices, and now have Talibehs and humans Jaebaluh to them. So, let it be with Amadou. Majurma is not entitled to his own facts though. If he creates a fantasy that Amadou is his Ghandi, Mandela, or King, then no biggie, for it would be akin to Joe running for election and the only folks that voted for him is his
compound occupants.
Majurma said the Good Amdou left "his teaching job" in the states to come to the Gambia to face the Resistance. Majurma, your statement is false. Amadou came to the Gambia to serve Yaya after he lost his teaching position (not that, that is a crime, and if he looked for another he most probably could have landed one for that is the beauty of being credentialed). Jammeh looked attractive when Amadou was unemployed and greed too over. The same MO of most of the people from the diaspora that prostrated in front of Yaya - Sidi Sanneh, Omar fye (not even credentialed), Maafy, etc.
Again, Amadou being the consummate opportunist, thought he saw a shortcut to rise to the top. I have warned Gambians about one or two person organizations. We have orgs. here that are a one person activity and our people know that, yet would pretend like there is a multitude behind them. That is not only dishonest of the practitioner, but the people that peddle the pretence. CCG was just one such org, truth be told. In their haste to get front seat, they forgot they were dealing with a tyrant and a murderer and their fantasy and greed took over. They thought there is a short-cut to Tahir Square. If Amadou was the great liberator and had the masses behind him, how come that mass is silent? How come you, Majurma are not picking up his sword to march on, since you so believed in his Mesianic call? The bigger story here is not the Cyber Warriors (please do not mind
them, they are a bunch of loosers) but the absence of your mass that the Great One was leading to the Promised Land. Why are you betraying Your Dear Leader? This is the perfect opportunity for you and your group to upstage Yaya, as the South Africans did for Mandela. Majurma, you know full well that this thingy is in your head. Again, you are entitled to your opinion and not your facts.
As for Amadou being an intellectual, well, given the loose application of the term, I say knock your sox off.
"In conclusion, for those intellectuals whose would like to contribute their quota in the Gambia after Jammeh this is the time we need you not when the freedom is won."
See what I mean about the race to the top and for the loot. This same Amadou was here talking about Crime Inc.; then he changed hyde and praised the head of Crime Inc. and enrolled in the Syndicate; then the Syndicate turned on him and disgraced him; the Syndicate went further to label him a spy; the Syndicate knew something about his opportunism and kept an eye on him; Amadou saw Tahir Square on TV and voila, saw a gig in the mix; started running his mouth about starting something big and managed to recruit a couple of unsuspecting folks. Now he is in the jaws of the beast, only for the few recruits to realize their's was a fantasy. The funny thing here is as serious and dangerous as Amadou's condition is, CCG is dead silent. What stopped them from raising their voice? Planning, Planning, and more Planning, you ignore it to your own peril,
especially when dealing with a dictator. CCG did not have a mass anything and was reckless to sell that fantasy. When the murderer took them on their bluff, they are a no show. The worst thing you can do in the Ghetto is to pretend you have a gun and badness behind you when you don't. For in the heat of an argument and your opponent pulls out a piece, the game is over for you. The morale of the story is, if you are going to inform folks about Mass Support, you better make sure you have that and inculcate resistance within your ranks. I hope those that aspire to lead the people against the monster to know that the first order of business is to build a base and be ready to set them on the monster. Why do you think even the politicians are afraid of going to the streets? They do not have a grass-root base that will rise up with them. They twist that around to suggest they do not want blood in their hands. No, the truth is they know if they
stand up it will be just them, for they have no history of going to the streets, even when there was a mass murder of innocent students. Elections are approaching and the Murderer will do anything to stay on, however, utopians amongst us think Yaya will see Mohammed and let the people change him. This is after sixteen years of murder and mayhem. Gambians, we cannot pray or wish Yaya away, and the politicians will be wasting our time to continue to lull Gambians to sleep with Cumbayaa Politics.
Majurma, I now leave you with your crusade for your Mandela. I am not going to sit here and wish for a fair trial under our laws, for that will not happen, like the many that preceded Amadou, in parade. However, the trial will be fair if your Mass Support show the monster a little something - Make Gambia ungovernable and for the monster to fear his own safety. As long as he is comfortable, it will be business as usual. Your problem is you do not have a mass anything, thus, your Mandela will be abused like the rest.

Chei wonders. What Dr Amadou 'Scattred' Janneh 'face of resistance' to SHEPAD Jammeh's tyranny and the Beloved Smiling Coast's Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela aka Madiba.
Hope he gets a fair trial and eventually his freedom to continue his resistance and deliver the nation as Madiba illustrously deed by not succumbing to the criminal regime incarcerating him.
Dr. Amadou Janneh is the Nelson Mandela of The Gambia
Something happened. Something big happened that hadoutstanding effect on my life and the life of many young people
who are yearning for freedom. People who want to see change mostly lead and become the face of the movement,
probably the most striking illustrations i can give is MAHATMA GANDHI, MARTIN LUTHER KING AND NELSON
MANDELA. All these honorable men could have ignored the status quo at their time and they will live a comfortable life,
given their backgrounds but chose the contrast. So for me and a whole lot of young people, Professor Dr Amadou
Scattred Janneh is NELSON MANDELA OF THE GAMBIA.
He could have stayed in the United States with his teaching job and careless about what happened in the Gambia and
join the cyber warriors criticizing President Jammeh and his
Government but he chose to be on the ground and be the
face of resistance. Therefore, if we can have ten intellectuals like him Jammeh will be out office within a month. What
Jammeh doesn't know is the more he continue to detain Dr. Janneh the more resistance movement will be on a
momentum. It will be like opening a Pandora box, one thing leads to next.
In conclusion, for those intellectuals whose would like to contribute their quota in the Gambia after Jammeh this is the
time we need you not when the freedom is won.
I shall continue in the future
MAJURMA TOURAY
