I think the headline is being overblown. The man's speech said the election period. He never made reference to those in jail for one reason or another. The reporter used the headline for a political gain.
I cannot see a sudden u-turn. Well, never say never but always doubt everything. |

Kon, am I surprise about the possibility of overblowing that speech. Journalist who kiss off to leaders tend to find a way to make positive out of a negative speech. It is like George Bush tumbling during a speech exposing his ignorance of the world, and the republican town cryers picking up after him and trying to make sense out of nothing.
As I said before, I have made up my mind on Jammeh and nothing from him will ever surprise me period. When the people have lost hope on someone's leadership, they can only hope that God will change that person for the better. They fish and fish until they drawn in their own nets... |

If the Serere abandoned his fishing occupation and the Jolas will not do anymore wine tapping, then the Fula man might as well keep his cows and venture into other trades.
The fulani people has always been versatile in so many areas. We are first to embrace small businesses, into large scale, we become marabouts etc. When you have the cow, you have everything men. Nothing from the cow is thrown away. From the skin, milk, dunk, meat, horns etc are all useful. That is how useful the Fula man is. Watch out Kon.. |

Brother Demba,
You have landed on a vital route. I captured from your last posting that Jammeh can be pardoned. Yes Gambians are forgiving. What I even got clearer is your suggestion to have an exit for Jammeh. The man is trapped and does not know how to escape with his loot, comfort, name all in one piece. His own fear of being prone to persecution as a revenge for crimes he committed continue to hunt him. If I get you well, you prefer that he be given an exit and then we continue to advance this move. I am in total agreement with you. If he is assured of a safe exit, we will regain our space. You would know about "tenants from hell" For those who may want to understand this, they are tenants who get stranded and some times mishandle rented premises. Landlords encounter tough time evicting them due to legal strings attached. Jammeh is one occupant that Gambians have to sort out. Don't break his head. A safe exit is good idea to consider. He too is human and likes to enjoy something after being disentangled. For now he is like Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (a name he gave Jawara) who lost their magic spell to unlock the cave after they have stolen enough but got locked in the cage. May be one of you will lead the way next week, to map the exit for Jammeh from the locked cage without causing further damage. I look forward to this lead from Brother Baldeh |

You know , Jammeh is not completely stupid. He is presummably rational. Therefore he is not likely to allow this bill if he has no stake in it. Somehow he expects to be a beneficiary to the bill. Therefore , he is either expecting an ex-president status soon or he is wooing the support of Sir Dawda and his ex-PPP followers. This could further weakened both Darboe's UDP and Omar Jallow's PPP which comprise largely of ex-PPP supporters.
Therefore , it appears to me that Jammeh is not walking any middle ground here , he is rather shooting at either of the two extremes of planning to step down or perpetuating his presidency. Either way Jammeh wins over the masses of poor and oppressed Gambians.
An ex-president gets 2000 dollars , an office , personal security guards , a secretary , and three vehicles (fuelled) , for what goodness ? After looting our country for decades ? Thank you. But would someone in the State House or the National Assembly stop for a second and think about the poor and hungry Gambians who staddle the intimidating streets of Banjul , S/Kunda , Bakau ,and the provinces daily .Not long ago I have been talking about a limited welfare system for the qualified poor in the Gambia , well this bill apparently is welfare for the Gambia's richest of the rich.

Karamba, You seems to have a special skill in reading and understanding what people wrote. It is one thing to read something and another thing to deduce something meaningful out of it. You should interpret more contributions on this forum. We have a lot of people writing with hidden agendas. I*look forward to reading more interpretation.
On Jammeh's exit, I am dead serious about his entrapment. Imagime a young 30yr old soldier with minimal education finding himself at the top of the world enjoying everything that comes with power. What is he going to do when he leaves office at the age of say 40 or 45? He has no other profession, or educational expertise to offer to the world. What and where do you think he is going to do and live? This question becomes more important whenever Jammeh look at what he did during his 13 years of leadership.
His future is absolutely bleak without being President. So with all these uncertainties awaiting him out of office, he would rather do anything to stay in office than leave. So the issue of him being trapped in power with no better option is very valid. If anyone of us find ourselves in Jammeh's position, would we want a future security before contemplating leaving?
This is all the more reason our nation need to have dialogue and reconciliation. Through dialogue and willingness to forgive for a better future, people like Jammeh can have a safe exit without fear of reprisal. This is the lesson we learned from the South African Truth and Reconciliation. It is the only way to heal wounds and give our nation a fresh start. What happens to J.J Rawlings in Ghana where he became President twice and left office with dignity may not happen to Jammeh. I hope and pray he finds a safe exit. Thanks for reading again Karamba. What do you think?
