I write so much little that interest you and so much that burn your heart. But do I have to listen to you? You are only an irresponsible person who can only make irresponsible statements. So keep it up my boy I know how you feeling. A loser is just like petrol that think anything shinny will set fire on him.I dont know if you heart can console the temperature of the heat. When judgement was passed on Lang and the team, what first came to your mind was where is Lamin, Jim, Sera and the rest? Is only fools and prmature people who will only engage on violence writing. Remain stupid and your lessons will be learnt. I will not be wrong that people like you have never won an arguement much more a fight. Can you then tell me what gave birth to 22nd July? The Army was completely neglected that have to fight to free everyone.

You never fail to impress with your load of crap.Once again you have managed to write so much and yet say so little.

I guess Gambians in the diaspora do not really matter in your opinion.Then why should we listen to you,when you are yourself away from Gambia?

If you want to know how important Gambians in the diaspora are,just visit any Western Union outlet and see how we are helping to ease the suffering of our people back home.Gambia has no social welfare system of any kind and the the help and support that should have the duty of the government is being shouldered by those living abroad.But our political opinions should not count,right? And you call yourself EDUCATED?

Cont: So is it a crime to support the APRC government that have brought numerous developments that safe the Gambia from sinking? We can disagree or agree but Gambians home and abroad have a course to celebrate 22nd July. Whether one agrees with me or not 22nd July came to rescue families of the marginalized groups. Today we can debate the human right violation in the Gambia as disappearance, murder and free speech that we all point fingers at the ruling party.Irresponsible persons making Irresponsible statements. Clowns, tribilists, dishonest,greed y, arrogants and many more have choosen to go online to make things bad for many who listen to them while they are invisible. I respect any civil human organization for what they stand for. But are they cridble? governments have made them weak by playing double standards and hypocrisy."GAMBIA PROBLEM WILL ONLY BE A GAMBIA HOME SOLUTION NOT DIASPORA SOLUTION".

Cont: Most people at the age of voting especial the youths don’t border to register to vote and it was only the old age that for them belonging to a political party was a religion. The list of neglected human needs quickly multiply day by day, violating the rights of the people. Getting a job was not base on merit but who you know. The mistake was the Army that should be responsible for the security of the Nation was completely neglected and the institution was regarded as for drop-outs. Poor salaries, poor housing, poor sanitation and soldiers send to peace keepings find it hard to get their entitlements. Here we can agree or disagree but these are the most serious human rights violations that the country was going through that gave birth to 22nd July. This was a government that has no political knowledge but knows the needs of the people that they have tried to achieve most, that today whatever an individual or group has a beef with government, it becomes a personal problem.

The coming of 22nd July, 1994, was it a necessity? Constitutional it was illegal but by need it was a necessity. The Gambia was a failing state. Government institutions were private or family institutions. The Rich becoming Richer, and the Poor becoming Poorer. While the population of the country is rapidly multiplying, the needs of the people were degrading. Scholarships were for the rich or know you and know me. Health centres run out of drugs and ambulances were left with no fuel to transport referrals. Government offices were getting from bad to worst. The dream of a TV station, University and increased in government schools was according to in plan but for 430yrs the cost was never met. Roads were getting from bad to worst. When the elections are at the corner, road construction companies like the CSE will drop there working machines on roads to play the political game.

While many countries in the sub region from Ghana to Mali are moving towards more tolerant regimes,Gambia is experiencing the worst form of dictatorship reminiscent of the dark days of Idi Amin and Emperor Bokassa.

From his special protection squad,The Junglers (who also double as his special killers),the NIA,the aggressive and trigger-happy Riot Squads of the PIU police,Jammeh has the entire security apparatus to suppress dissent at home.It is therefore a good sign that Gambians abroad have realized that the power to agitate and to expose the current state of affairs rests with them and we are all grateful for what they are doing.

From Jollof News to Gainako,from Maafanta to Freedom newspaper,Gambi ans are sounding the alarm.When Gambia's history is being recounted for the next generation,thes e brave men and women will be counted among the ones who dared to raise their voices and refused to be swept along by the tide of complicity coursing through our motherland.
