Tribalism: The Kettle Calling the Pot Black.
By Mathew K. Jallow, Associate Editor
The so-called annual “Dialogue with the Farmers Tour” 2008 edition is history, and as expected, the whole exercise was shrouded in waste and short of substance. With the myriad of social and economic problems facing our country, the Tour schedule was replete with “victory celebrations” at the end of each day. Jammeh, it would appear, was more interested in the adulation of his ever-dwindling circle of supporters that in a genuine dialogue with farmers to discuss national interest issues in the face of the ever-skyrocketing commodity prices.

Please Remain Focus
By John Andrew Langley, Oxford, England
Dear Editor:
Thank you very much for exercising ultimate maturity in managing the frugal babble of a clique of an intruder in the Internet world calling themselves journalists. I believe your mature way of handling such comic characters, whose only podium fits a twirling rubble of requiem and downright company of keratinous folks, is the only way forward for you journalists to rid your profession of such actors.

A Trilogy of Jammeh’s Political
Failure & Fading Historical Relevance
BY TIJAN NIMAGA, Bronx New York
The failure of President Jammeh’s government has not only affected our nation’s economy but has also tarnished most of our historical monuments, as well as our traditional practices, and seeks to destroy anything that can educate or remind the Gambia’s younger generation of what our country was like before and after the colonial eras.

As Hon. Suku Singhateh Mismanages Economy Under Jammeh’s Watch;
Time For Action on Food Security
By Bubacarr Sankanu, Cologne, Germany
Honourable Suku Singhateh’s exploitation of Gambian farmers, reported by The Gambia Echo, does not speak well of the state of affairs. Suku’s action could spell trouble for Jammeh’s Government since a hungry man they say, is an angry man. Gambian farmers might tolerate the excesses of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Army and the various Special Forces recently created to consolidate Jammeh’s power, but in the medium and long term, these structures will crumble before an army of hungry protesting farmers.

Attitude Change: New West African Crusade
By Kofi Akosah-Sarpong
Starting from Sierra Leone, since this year, there have been campaigns West Africa-wide for attitude change as a progress measure. Anybody who knows West Africa well, as Kwasi Gyan-Apeteng, a former editor of the once prestigious London, UK-based defunct West Africa Magazine and currently member of Ghana’s National Commission of Culture, will tell you, “we are poor because we lack the right attitude.”

Is Yahya Jammeh The Gambia?
By Mathew K. Jallow, Associate Editor
Sarjo Bayang’s editorial in Allgambian.net asks a sobering question that needs to be answered. Who owns The Gambia? It sounds like a very silly question to ask, yet it is as serious as it can get, for ours is a country taken possession of by an individual who is doing whatever he likes, whenever he likes, and, how ever he likes. In all his frequent public outbursts, tirades and diatribes, Yahya Jammeh has often evoked the first person “I” when he refers to The Gambia, and I for one, can never ever bring myself to accept this. Does Yahya Jammeh equal The Gambia?
