Yero,
 
Demba is right; we have too many toys some of which has notbeen tested. We have yet to know their capabilities, range and effects so weare itching to test them (joke).  Asadand his number one allied made the right decision to not test the United StatesMilitary might. I will say though it is always a higher ground to givediplomacy a chance; however the Russian led diplomatic intervention looks,smells and walks like a duck and eventually it will quack. The outcome won’t begood.
 
Speaking on a united front for elections reminds me of asaying one of my high school teachers used to say, “ a lion’s heart is a vainwish for any dog”. Every election, we put our hopes on having a fair and openelections and it never happened. We can be as hopeful as we want but the fact andrecords remain that there has not been and won’t be a chance for the oppositionthrough the usual national election procedures. 
 
The opposition must challenge and overturn certain rules andpolicies of both the IEC and the Jammeh government (which is the same body).Loosen up some of the steel chains around their necks and ankles to give them ashot in competing. I will go on record now and say unless the opposition worksdiligently to make some significant changes to facilitate open and fairelection, we will have another Jammeh term.
 
My solemn recommendation of some of the changes we need topush for: 
 
    1.    Change the role of the IEC and lobby to make itan independent body from the government. Request a seat at the table and be a part ofvetting its members.
    2.    Request that the additional voting marblesdonated by Japan accounted for and under the control of the IEC. 
    3.    Work on changing the policy for Gambians in thediaspora to be able to vote in the national elections as long as they can be inBanjul to vote, since absentee ballots won’t be a realistic option.  
    4.    Work diligently with Gambian organizationsoverseas and encourage them to plan their vacations during the nationalelections timeframe to cast their vote and let their voice be heard.
    5.    Work with the current regime to guarantee thesafety of the Gambians in the diaspora while they are in Banjul to exercisetheir legitimate constitutional right.
    6.    Work with international bodies to ensure thatthe Gambia government will follow through in allowing Gambians across the globecome back and register with respective embassies and that their safe return isattained.
    7.    Finally we need to sacrifice for the country welove so much if all these terms can be met and cast our votes during thenational elections rather than going to Banjul in December to party our lifeaway. 


If these and many other changes you may have can beobtained, maybe the opposition can stand a chance in winning elections or comeclose to it. If none of these including the ones you have can be attained, thenI think its better to boycott the elections than to go through the motionsagain while we already know the outcome.

Sure Yero, you welcome. I don't see us hitting Syria. At some point I predicted it but the turn in events makes me doubt it now. Obama is not up to that task and the long wait almost made it pointless now.  This whole thing turn out to be a very messy situation for the entire world with different people and nations taking sides that best suit their agenda.
