Kassma, you've come up with baseless comparative studies. The older generation--say Sir Dawdas era--peoples' arms and limbs were not chopped off and buried in latrines. Your generation and peers are brutal rulers, just look at Gambia today.
but the older generation set an example for us of what we can and cannot do. they saw a president who stayed for 30 years and did nothing. they saw elders who did not like that but did nothing. they saw all over africa how things were done so even jammeh's generation learned from their elders. jammeh, i'm not sure how old he is but is probably old enough to be my father. i was eight when he came into power so really, fingers can't be pointed towards me or my generation. its people who were 30 and up in 1994, who had the power to do something, who should have stood up, but i bet they were too busy saying Yalla barna. |

As if i dont know, Kassma takes nothing lying down. But she is so sporadic. Whenever she is online she explodes in anger she must have picked up from heaven knows where. Angers are to be ventilated and Bantaba is the right place.
the reason why i'm angry is because as a young person trying to get her education, go back to her country and help out, i don't even have that option. and the reason why that is is because the older generation now wants to rest and pray to God 24/7 instead of getting up, organizing themselves and getting this monster out of Gambia. and then worst, the Gambian association here is america does not have their stuff together either and is destructive. instead of getting together, they want to gossip and built fractions within the group. its amazing to me how Gambians (yeah the elders) are so good at wasting time doing nothing!!!! and then worst, instead of encouraging the younger generation, no, if they're not getting along with so and so's parent, its over, they want to spread rumors and everything, whatever...
i'm just saying, and this is to the people on Bantaba and other Gambian elders out there, if you guys don't do anything now, by the time poor me and my age group gets out of school, in about 10 years, then going back home to help will not be an option and Gambia will get worst, and people, as they're saying now, will still be saying Yalla barna, but God helps those who helps themselves. if any of you want change, seriously, now is the time to do SOMETHING. complaining to each other does nothing, absolutely nothing. if we in the dispora don't do anything, how can people in Gambia, with jammeh breathing down their necks going to be able to do anything. |

Kassma, here we go again with you rebuke of the elders. The older generation might have exhausted all energies raising delinquent kids of this generation. The younger generation, to which u belong, should now use their unexploited energies to boot out Jammeh from power. There can never be a better thank u present, from the younger to the older, than the earlier accomplishing what the latter failed with.
A challenging task lies ahead for the younger generation. Do it your way, it's a changing world. Learn from the short-comings of the older generaton to surpass them. |

| True, Bamba, but I can understand Kassma. In Germany the younger generation had to sort out the mess the elders had left to them during the Nazi regime. Not the physical (this at least they did themselves after the war), but the psychical and ideological mess. |

Bamba why you take so much offense from what i say clearly indicates i've hit a nerve. if people my age can't depend on the elders, you for example, to think about our future and want to secure it for us, who else should. i don't think i ask alot. but it seems that your generation, knows that what is going on is wrong, but would rather fold their hands and let us younger people deal with it later on when it will be worst. this is very destructive because the best thing us young people can do now is stay in school so that in the future, Gambia will have educated leaders.Gambia will only go down more if there is no educated younger generation to take over. however, the elders don't see that. and its sad and its laziness. so if it is us kids who are supposed to be fighting jammeh, while we young people drop out of college to get jammeh out, what are you older folks going to be doing.
did you really say the older generation was too busy raising the bad and beligerent younger generation to be able to do anything. please, stop yourself. africans, especially Gambians, have never had a problem with discipling their kids. especially my generation.
i would resent the fact that you call me moody, but i know i'm not moody. i'm not a simple person who looks at things superficially and is satisfied. every Gambian should be pissed off at what is going on back at home and equally angry at the inactive Gambian dispora that is just watching the events back at home without doing one thing to help. if there were more people out there like me, people with pride, passion and conviction, this nonsense would not be going on in Gambia. but since Gambia still has a relatively large, inactive older generation, nonsense like jammeh will continue. |

what do you mean you don't get it (what does my picture have to do with anything). jammeh controls the army. so if you're depending on the army to get jammeh out, well.... |

| Kassma, the most gross inaccuracy in your statements is that you are generalizing about people who are older than 35. I personally know of people who resisted any millitary coup in the Gambia after the taking over of power by the Jammeh regime and yet they have nothing to lose with Jammeh in power. Those Gambians knew of what millitary rule is what about and its consequences. whenever a people puts its faith on a government they are doom to fail because their own destinies will be control by that governments rather than their own. governments should be afraid of their people. people should not be afraid of their governments. In the Gambia however, it is the people who are afraid and controlled by their governments. |
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERNMENTS. GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THEIR PEOPLE.BJ |
