AN ANALYSIS OF SANA SABALLY'S WRITINGS.
For the past few days, Sana Sabally has succeeded in making headlines in some online papers. Sana is today talking about forgiveness. Just as Yahya Jammeh, he is not coming out clean on what should be forgiven of. Is this a pattern of the AFPRC? He said in one of his write ups that he is not going to explain what happened on 11/11. If you are not ready to talk about it, hell shut up. In another write-up, he said Gambians should forget about the past. How can we, when there are mysteries surrounding your conduct/role as the no.2 man?
Reading through his postings, I can see someone who is really really struggling inside him. Sana is isolated, lonely and home sick to his bones. He is a prisoner of his own conscience. He is dying internally of hidden secrets burried deep inside him. He is a like the biblical frustrated prophet/preaher Jeremiah who preached for 40 years without having a single convert. However he kept on doing it. Keep preaching Bairo, maybe someday you will become the Imam Rhatib of Banjul.He is being haunted by his past actions. "I love Gambians" he wrote. Yes you showed Gambians your love for us by shooting at us at the slightest provocation or non provocation. You showed Gambians you love them by being arrogant to us. Sana needs to consult a psychiatrist for help before it's too late.
As a way of combatting his condition mentioned above, he sits infront of a PC and Keyboard and spits scriptural verbiage. We have heard enough scriptures from you than we have heard from our imams and priests. We don't need online imams/priests. The ones we have in our Friday/Sunday worships as well as our daily prayers are enough for us.
You also mentioned a debate, what debate? All am reading are quotations and your feelings. You are not arguing against anything. You are just entertaining yourself by killing boredom with talkathons to which no one is really paying attention. Anyway, keep talking. We are reading between your lines. We are connecting some dots too and it's giving us some perspectives we never had before. Take time to sit, think, write, edit, read, think over again before you post. Otherwise your write ups are going to hang you some day.
Bairo, for reconciliation and forgiveness to take place, we need to tell each other the truth you are trying to preach Mr. Preacher. This is what happened in South Africa and Rwanda. But where you emphatically say, I will not say/explain what happened, then don't be ready for forgiveness from Gambians. In all major religions, you confess to those you have offended, and do a restitution where feasible. You cannot just go into a mosque, a church, a temple and tell the high priest, I have killed, or stolen and he offers you prayers and you believe that you have been forgiven. The people you have offended as implied in your write-ups are a border across you. Send a delegation if you cannot go in person and explain to them what you did and then ask for their forgiveness. That is when we will really know that Bairo is ready to be forgiven. " I am sorry!!!, I am sorry!!!" For what?
I for one even doubt one of your write-up which you claimed to have written by you and the late Saidibou Hydara on 18 Feb. 1995. Do you know why? In it I have seen [ IWe ] written together just as I have done. The other reason is, where you and Hydara celled together? I am sure your incarcerators know better not to put the two of you together. Third the message in the porported song looks like your present internal feelings.
One thing I must say is Prison has given you a smell of the wake up coffee and now you know better. You are saying what you are saying today because the tide has changed against you. Think of yourself in your former status. Would you be thinking and acting as you are doing today. You acted then before thinking but I am glad your world university--prison has taught you vice versa i.e. to think before acting. Please if you have any relevant information, say it or allow us to proceed with other matters. You are free to write your feelings but stop your "Popeism and Imamism".
Here is a scripture I found in a bible: Ecclesiastes 9:4
Anyone who is among the living has hope —even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
In short forget about the past Captain Sana Bairo Sabally and think of Sana Bairo Sabally today. I don't want to elaborate further as this may offend you and since your seem to be so religiously reformed, I will leave the rest to individual interpretation.
