Dear Dr. Jammeh, on this seventeenth anniversary of your coup of July 22, 1994, we propose to engage you in a discourse on matters of crucial importance to our country. We propose to conduct this discourse within the framework of what we term Gambianism. We recognize, of course, that this is no mean undertaking for it requires that we keep you engaged in the discourse. We only hope from the onset that you will read this series with an open mind because what motivates it above everything else is a healthy desire to assist in the advancement of the Gambian nation. Of course, keeping an open mind means being ready to hear and digest opinions and views that may be totally opposed, hostile even, to yours. It means leaving room for the possibility of human error on all sides, and that where error is recognized, the requisite effort is made to correct it. This is what animates the framework of Gambianism within which we engage you in discourse.

Twenty Members of the Scottish Parliament(MSPs) have signed a parliamentary motion condemning catalogue of human rights abuses taking palce in The Gambia and call on UK and Scottish Governments to do all they can to ensure that international pressure is put on the Gambian government in defence of human rights.

The camapign to secure Scottish parliamentary opposition to the systematic human rights abuses in The Gambia has been assisted by the Scottish based Campaign for Human Rights in The Gambia.

For those of you that can tolerate 90 minutes of platitudes, hollow rhetoric and fiegned outrage, I recommend you watch the charade Yahya Jammeh presided over a few days ago at Statehouse.( You can view it at http://www.Raaki.com/grts under the miscellenaeous category)The purpose was to raise alarm at the exponential growth and henieous nature of violent
crime in the Gambia. Predictably, the gathering which comprised of a mortley crew of the President, his cabinet and an assortment of political hacks all took turns belly aching and issuing meaningless vows and not once taking any responsibility for the fact it is under their watch that every category of crime has risen as to such an unprecedented level.
