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.

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).

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.
