You have a right to believe in what you think and thats perfectly fine with me. I just dont think Africa will provide us this medium to particiapate in our continent's development. Ask the widow of KEN SARO WIWA and the many matyrs in the struggle for liberation from our own selves.
We have to start from the basics. I am not a cyber critic. I am a Gambian who only ask for the basic to be free to speak what i believe in withot let or hinderance.
I do not care where the Observers come form but not civil servants who graduated in entrenching patronage in their countries and then compensated with Diplomatic portfolios to over see our elections.
I would not object to having Archbishop Tutu or Mandela but certainly not those countries who have a history of the longest military rule on the continent to teach us democracry. They can only each us one thing " DURUMO CRACY".
In fact the mere fact that we cannot hold our own internal elections peacefully is reason to indicate that the process needs a bail out. |

And rightly so sister.
Bad governance only leads to chaos and hopelessness. You have shot yourself in the foot. |

No kons my feet are firmly on the ground bad governance started a very long time ago. Corrective measures are what is needed for bad governance starting with the emancipation of mental slavery. Building on past successes and moving on from there. Today's AU can provide a framework for good governance with progressive thinkers and visionaries who can turn those ideals into concrete action. As the thread on Independent Candidate's being locked up in Gambia because of the warrior mentality election fever.
AU Observers can monitor the situation and where failures have occured giving any party unfair advantage this should be recorded as a parameter to gauge how fair these elections are.
Kondorong without hope there is hopelessness and where there is life there is hope.

Positive thinking, believe and working hard is better than the laissez-faire attitude of we will never make it.North African countries such as Morocco, Tunisia are not known to be models of western democracy but these countries have the best economies in Africa and compare favourably with some Western Countries.
Mali is another country which is progessing well headed by a soldier turned civilian. Burkina Faso also could have been written off as no good some 20yrs ago. But Self-believe, positive thinking and hardwork is paying dividend today. The Africa continent is confronted with many obstacles, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. It is a struggle which is a gradual process. It cannot happen overnight. It may not happen during our life time. But we have to play our parts and the next generation will continue from there until Africa rises and stands on its two feet(to paraphrase SIS).
Do your bit , i do my bit and everyone else do their bit. |

Yes I agree,if everyone does their bit our great grandchildren's children can reap the fruits of our collective efforts to build up our continent and fulfill its potential. So that every African child will be proud to be who they are.

Be rest assured that i do not suffer from mental slavery. I have travelled widely and cannot be fooled. I just wish the best for my continent. They are missing so much.
No one likes my people better than me, but the culture of taboos of challenging the status quo must change. I only see what we could have been.
Its easy to say positive thinking. Positive thinking without action is like the shadowy dreams of a visionary, quite ineffective and requires no effort.
Hoping that things will change without action is believeing that one will win the jackpot without playing the lottery. You must play to win.
The diplomats in Addis should get off their chairs do what they are paid to do. Somalia is trouble, Dafur is a disgrace, Conakry is in flames and so on. I dont think Jammeh or Obasanjo or campaore or the others have any advice for Lasana Conte. They all once came to power through FORCE. |
