Thanks Kobo . My concern is that Mathew K. Jallow 's call for the "overthrow of jammeh's government by ANY MEANS" based on Gambian law appears to be very extreme and unsupported by the laws of the Gambia because it did not exclude violence (military coup and civil war).You seem to have the right idea, though.
Note that the rest of Mr. Jallow's article is agreable except the last paragraph where he called for extreme measures to change the government.I strongly differ on any suggestion of violence.
I do appreciate your sensibilities but Jammeh is also an extremists and a criminal calling for such irresponsible illegal acts of treason which gave him the power. I remind you this quote from Jammeh's own speech:
"I have seen banners saying no to coup, but the reality is that people will say how then did he become head of state because he overthrew somebody’s government? Yes, I came through a coup d’etat, because what was happening in this country is unacceptable. On 22 July 1994, not even a frog died, much more a human being. When we came that day, in broad day-light, which Imam missed a Friday prayer?
If you have to ask me question as to whether we should say yes or no to coup d’etat, my answer will shock you. First, we should understand that there are three types of coups d’etat - coup d’etat based on tribal lines; coup d’etat based on greed and personal aggrandisement; and a coup d’etat to rescue a country from the brink of catastrophe. The first two types of coups d’etat no body should accept because those two types are perpetrated by people who do not even love their country; by people that are working for foreign elements and they do not want Africa or any country to move forward, and they are bent on bringing havoc. Those two types should not be welcomed but the third one we should welcome.
A coup d’etat is like a prescribed drug. Depending on how you use it, it could be useful and it could be dangerous."

Whilst nobody died during the illegal act of his coup d'état, how many died, incommunicado or got jailed after the act, through Liar Jammeh’s claws? A "Peaceful Coup d’état" is a myth. The consequences could be more detrimental after the act as Gambians have witnessed than the mode. The process to do a “coup d'état by military means" requires a worse case scenario, which amounts to gambling with peoples’ lives. Liar Jammeh’s excuse is disingenuous, especially in a worse case scenario. Liar Jammeh should watch his mouth because his turn might not be that trivial as he wants it to be, even though [Rah] doesn’t support violent seizing of power. yeh.rah |

QUOTES EXTRACTED FROM PA SAIKOU KUJABI
"Halifa Sallah is back again working for Yaya Jammeh. Readers, it should not be a surprise for anyone who knows Halifa Sallah to see him going to work for Yaya Jammeh and the APRC regime one more time. I have always said it in many internet forums that Halifa Sallah is
as arrogant, selfish,stained, deceptive as Yaya Jammeh.
Frankly I was astonished to read Halifa Sallah's letter to NRP/UDP Alliance repeating himself over and over again without making any point.
In that irresponsible and self deceiving statement, Halifa, just as typical of him, went on hiffing and hoffing again, contradicting himself and exposing his arrogance and insensitivity about the political wishes of the Gambian opposition electorates; have painted a false picture.

DALTON 1 COMMENTS QUOTED:
"Even though the views of the two Alliances are different, forces are at work to influence the two sides to work to reconcile their differences.
Will they succeed or will they not?
That is the question." END OF QUOTE
The above were based on the following letters to follow to proof that all his allegations were baseless and not based on facts and contents of those letters in question. I do not have time to make any final comments but uses a different approach to recalled all letters under referenced and mentioned for details as counter rebuttal of Pa Saikou Kujabi's article. Reading and analysis them would exposed Pa Saikou Kujabi’s misleading roles and no more than total disorientation and misinformation. In other words, those allegations are nothing other than false allegations, BASELESS AND LIES EXPOSING HIM WITH ULTERIOR MOTIVE AND SADLY AS A TOTALLY DISORIENTATED PERSON.
Its also interesting that I have no problem to extract from his article and redirecting his own words to him (to own them exclusively as answers to himself where it best fits or critically apply under the circumstances.
I called on readers to re-capitulate on these letters as a literates, political analyst or educated person to understand the facts and appreciate certain issues and positions on NADD, UDP/NRP, Halifa Sallah, Lawyer Ousainou Darboe and Hamat Bah respectively. In my opinion I tend to give due credit and respect to Honourable Halifa as a good political leader, more realistic, having a more sense of direction, more nationalist and patriotic than anybody else in the political arena under current circumstances. Furthermore NADD appear to be best option for the way forward for progress and meaningful development of our political systems inter alia.
Readers are welcome as the best to decide and judge for themselves where the TRUTH LIES AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR AND FAVOUR BETWEEN ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. Thanks for your time to read them.
Below are the letters in the issue.

| Hey Rah ( that's a powerful god eh , thanks for your comments.However , we cannot set our standards against Jammeh's. We should have higher standards than him. If extremism is okay with Jammeh , it should not be okay with us , and his idea of coups should not be a basis for our own ideas. we need to counter Jammeh's weakness with our strength , his injustice with our righteousness , his violence with our peace , his arrogance with our humility. That is the teachings of Ghandi , King and Mandela. |

| I totally agree with you, kayjatta. I don't condone coups, so-called peaceful or otherwise. I am even optimistic (the only one in this forum?) regarding Liar Jammeh's defeat on the forth comming pres. elections. Maybe I am naive, but let's give hope a chance. yeh,rah |

Any possibility of a national alliance is even possible under the eleven hour by Halifa Sallah under http://www.thepoint.gm/headlines1137.htm
And our prayers are with you to succeed on that note. |
