This article is not an indictment against all Africans. Africa has produced some fine men and great scholars and parents who have contributed to the well being of society. These men have liberated Africa from its historic shackles; they have fought imperial powers that colonized not only the continent, but the African mind. To these men and women we say thank you.

We still have a long way to go. Our actions and interventions now will ensure that we liberate the next generation.

Ten years have passed since the April 10 and 11 student massacre, yet people of
conscience and believers of justice will never forget this historical tragedy. Today
again the United States based Gambians’ Movement for Democracy and Development (MDD) a Pro-Democracy, Human Rights and Justice Movement commemorates and mourns the events that happened on April 10 and 11, 2000.

It's exactly 10 solid years since our beloved country had painstakingly gone through
the darkest days of April 10th and 11th student carnage - the days that witnessed
the brutal shooting to death of 12 armless students by trigger-happy soldiers paid
to protect them. The students only  launch a demonstration against mistreatment
of their colleagues which was in line with their fundamental Constitutional rights.

Over the past year or so, the opposition parties in the Gambia have been engaged in a discourse aimed at to the best to remove the APRC from power in the forthcoming 2011 elections and at the minimum to create a multiparty system in the Gambia. However, this could fail as the two main opposition parties are engaged in finger pointing politics rather than a constructive dialogue, shallow and dishonest analysis of their failures in past elections, and the lack of organisational structures (this applies to all political parties Africa).

Our little town was not unblessed in its prayers to the powers that they grant our common townsfolk some guidance and light in those dark days of heathenism and spiritual blindness. Month after month, year after year, our common townsfolk prayed for salvation, for protection, for a light that would rise from the dark and shine its rays on the slippery paths of life. At long last, their prayers seemed to have been answered when a flamboyant guy who called himself the Guardian materialized on the scene. He was immediately welcomed with open arms and joined the crowds of our jubilant common townsfolk in rendering thanks and praises to the powers for sending them this gem of a townsfolk who, by his very first actions, showed that the dark forces of this evil world could easily be dispelled with the proper lighting, the obsequious peep, and the ultimate unmasking that could only be performed by folks of such superior intellectual clout and intelligence as himself, the one and only Chickenbrain Rattlemouth, alias Blokey Pokey of hum hum fame.

Dear Editors,

I will be grateful if you allow me the chance to join the debate regarding our nation’s state of affairs. Please read my contribution with open mind because I am a first hand witness to what I am telling you. As a lady APRC meeting organiser now out of the country, I am aware of those who never get any qualification but awarded high positions both in the Civil Service and the Army.  think the Army is even the worst but now it is clear to everyone that was as a result of tribalism which I hate to elaborate on. Also since Jammeh came to power lots of bad things took place in the midst of public silence, arrogance, hypocrisy and greed. The educated and dedicated intellectuals were disregarded and despised and treated with contempt for the simple reason that Jammeh thought they are a threat to his totalitarian rule. Others are too cheap so much so that Jammeh treated them the way he wished and sacked them without explanation. Today, they cannot blame anyone but themselves.
