Betrayal Was The Case: Sarr, And Chongan The New Born Again Political Apologists!!

I have never sought any secret or open attempt to reconcile with Yahya Jammeh- Chongan

Alpha Ebrima Ismaila Chongan

I sent an article, “Another Side to The Gambian Crisis,” to one of the online papers, but I was surprised that another online paper decided to write an attack editorial about the piece. This editorial missed the point by all marks. I have never sought any secret or open attempt to reconcile with Yahya Jammeh. I will never ever apologise for his leadership. Our differences are simply irreconcilable. In fact I am coming out with a memoir that will attest to this fact. That is all I have to say about the insinuation of attempts by me to apology for Yahya Jammeh in the editorial.

Regarding the article itself, my intention was to address some tendencies to associate all Jolas with Yahya Jammeh. Yahya Jammeh should not and must never be excused for practising tribalism. But no one else should be excused for practising tribalism on all Jolas because of Yahya Jammeh. If that point was misunderstood in the article, as in the case of the editorial, then that was rather unfortunate.

Editors note: Thanks Mr. Chongan for stating your side of the story. The editorial in question was penned in good faith, without malice, or ill-will. Our readers will judge the rest. Thanks for your attention.
