LT Colonel Sar Sends To The Cleaners- As Reader Exposes Former Army Officer!!
…..Sam Sarr Show Maturity
By Lamin Darboe Leicester UK.
I will not hesitate to point out the childish and backward mentality manifested in the article of our until now respected writer Sam Sarr. Believe me, he is no intellectual of the caliber many aforetime assumed him to be. He is full of himself and could pass as a wise and smart guy but inherently otherwise. Because a wise and matured person of his experience and record should not waste his time writing all these frivolities, thick arguments; flawed and inconsistent rationalizations.
What benefit does our beloved Nation The Gambia and Gambians at this juncture gain from revisiting our tribal past other than fanning the flames of tribal discord. Could readers help me to decipher the rational behind Mr. Sarr's scheming diatribe, is it frustration, boredom, anguish or a masqueraded attempt to reincarnate himself. I think The Gambia president by now know the real Mr. Samsudeen Sarr; I don't think any reincarnation will restore the privileges and trust he once had with the ruling regime. Gambians will not allow anyone to further polarize and perpetuate tribal disharmony in our beloved country. Gambians are very intelligent and matured people on matters like this and cannot be hoodwinked by people with ulterior predisposition. A predisposition of self aggrandizement and egoistically adventurous.
We have seen in the years past people who fell out with Jammeh bowing down to beg for forgiveness and readmission; so it is not new. It seem all this fracas and childish hullabaloo about tribal dichotomy was aim at tacitly remarketing himself to the regime for acceptance, as a result of frustration of living in asylum; separation and also reaching a dead end in USA.
Sam dismiss every intelligent counter perspective on his incendiary and divisive article (genesis of tribal politics) as exudation of indignation, euphoria and illogical posits. An allegation best pretentious and possibly disingenuous. It is time to call spade a spade and no amount of reverence should insulate person cut from whatever politics from scrutiny and admonition. You can call it rage, vindictiveness or irrational outburst I don't care, you are manifestedly in the wrong and that's it. No amount of tempered admonition or level of diplomacy can hide the poignance of your error in this indiscriminate smearing of a people.
Citation of your relatives married or living in mandinka societies to me has no bearing on your own dispensation. Your article seem to reflect your inner feelings and we can inference your real sentiments towards mandinka tribe. You can run but you can't hide.
We had all wanted to eschew any further treatise on this matter but your recalcitrance, arrogance and disdain for other people's perspective on this flammable matter is unparallelly abominable. It is true we have to forgive and show benevolence to each other, but not in matters which could imperil our progress and ultimately national peace. As other writers point out, this issue is clouding out a needed debate on matters of national significance to our nation today.
Angry. am not, I want call spade a spade.
Thanks.
