Lieutenant Yaya Jammeh in July 1994 broke Gambian laws by forcefully seizing power to become head of Gambia government. His invasion of orderly political space of Gambia, he named it July Revolution.

Since then, whoever attempted or is suspected of coup to unseat lieutenant Yaya Jammeh, that is called treason.

Where is justice, law, civilised governance, order, truth.....?

Who are the criminals? Who are the crime stoppers?

Is toppling Yaya Jammeh crime or crime stopping?

Crime. He was elected. That is my main objection of you and your kind. You are lacking ideas. You are not capable of being creative. In fact, you are lazy. Are you ready to bite the bullet and work on election campaign? Are you going to leave your job, income, home and work hard. That is the right thing to do. You are not willing to do that. I don't think you can. Easy solution. You are all for coup. What is next? violent uprising? Or maybe you can call some other country to involve for regime change. Do you support another country to invade and change the regime. They did it in Iraq. What are the alternatives. Enlighten us. Now you have valid excuse. No wonder you have your 'smear campaign' and 'dirty politics'. Your plan is to demonize the president of Gambia. Than you legitimize the any coup in the name of saving Gambia from the 'drug dealer'. That is your plan. Lynching. Karamba, more I read, more I see the mentality of you which give no hope and bright future for Gambia. Like I said, you are not offering any alternative.

You know I have great respect for the Gambian opposition who are in Gambia and trying their best to be an alternative. They are visible. Not hiding. At least they are sticking to the principles of law and democracy. And they are spending their time and money in political campaign. They are willing to take all the risks. You on the other hand. Call for coup. Congratulations.

diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices.

Turk please,

Your side of the story, your interpretation, all yours. Will you for once leave something for someone else? Judge and jury, Turk, the impact of your tremor is amazingly great.

You read and write like others do. Nobody seeks to inter- or mis-interprete what you feel like writing. Not even your interpretation however lame, is greeted fire for fire.

But Turk, this is the beauty of freedom. Enjoy yours. In my lowest mindset of seeking for meaning, I will never accept a question for a qualified conclusive statement.

What do you think will stop anyone timid as he or she may be, to state rather than question the criminality of a day light robber?

Again this is a question. In my republic, we take questions as subject of enquiry.

Criticise me where I go wrong. Though not a "soldier with a difference" , I am also part of this little piece of land divided not just by that stream of water but by political bullies for nothing other than self gain.

If you have reason why one person has all rights to cling on public position for life let us know. Share your vast experience about those who survived that in total peace.

Army general on trial for attempt on life of a coup made president! That is scary. Lord have mercy.

You have never been nice to me (sarcasm), now you are asking me a favor? :)

Karamba, come on, if I was not here, your topics are not going to be very active. You need to be thankful!

Turk,

When I punch the last key to post, it is no longer mine. It becomes public material for wider digest. Even if just one sensible person reads whatever I decide posting, I am not bothered. Most important is the issue at hand( what) and not the poster.

Importance of what affects the multitude accounts for better sense than any one person and opinion.

"It is nice to be important but most important to be nice." To that we can add; it is sensible to be important and yet most important to be sensible.

You are not doing me a favour by reading my posts neither does it offend me when you don't read.

Better credit goes to Sister Omega without whose unflinching support for captain Jammeh there would be no occasion digging into the ugly history and marred legacy of a law breaker claiming to be 21 century revolutionary. A man who divided Gambian society and yet claims the icon of African unity. A man who preaches one way and then behaves other ways.

It is that man who ceases to be just any other being but a threat to genuine good life in Gambia. He is retired lieutenant Yaya Jammeh

When he names people in positions they are joyful and supportive. When his lethal axe falls on them , they wish to tear him in pieces. Such a man deserves attention though for wrong reasons any way.

Brother Karamba please don't waste your time with Turk. He is short sighted and needs bifocals. It baffles me how one can say that Jammeh came to power by the ballot and not by the barrel of a gun. A coup is a coup is a coup period!
Jammeh did not attain power by legal means and is therefore not a legitimate leader.

You can only kick a dog so many times before it turns and bite you. The people will rise eventually and Jammeh will be removed from power. Nothing lasts forever.

Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption!

To the ONLY right point Aku_Pickin,

There are no other ways to it. Before Yaya becomes clean on this matter, he has to face the whole Gambian nation and seek clearance. On the part of many of those he so deliberately offended by killing or harming, his own trial takes long time.

Don't forget also that he was neither invited to save Gambia. He found laws and broke every bit of Gambian laws. That is the fattest bone to pick with Yaya of all. How can sane Gambians forget or brush that ugly histoty aside and for what good reasons?

Eventually, before the long arm of civil justice reaches Yaya Jammeh, he may have already strip himself by eliminating all those who thought they formed the cruel team with him.

Yaya is more of Gambian criminal than Gambian leader. He knows that.

Indeed, Kobo, it is the fact at hand; between the ballot and bullet. Since that ugly coup led by the bandit Yaya, Gambia remains under brutal pressure of deadly gun power of a ruthless being parading as whatever name and title he chooses to bear.

Shame and agony to the nation of Gambia!
