THE GAMBIA ENTERS THE LIST OF FAILED STATES: Our country sits at the border line

Barely a month ago when I wrote a piece on Jammeh's failing regime, the republic of The Gambia has entered the fray of failed states as it lingers on the border line, according to foreignpolicy.com. Although we ranked 60, while Ivory Coast, Sudan, Somalia and others top the list, The Gambia's entry to this failed club is sorrowful and alarming. Why are getting there? I believe are getting there for the following reasons:

JAMMEH IS A FAILED LEADER!!!

We declined to comment or make a story out of his mail since it cannot be independently confirmed. The proclaimed military officer is entitled to his opinion.

BAJINKA STOOD BEHIND

JAMMEH

The much talked about Kombo East by election is around the corner. In few days time Gambians will go to the polls once again to elect a National Assembly Member. It is sad that our divided opposition are once again opposing one another. NADD has named its own candidate, like wise the NRP/UDP alliance. This by election is crucial to our nation’s fragile democracy. It will determine the popularity of the parties on the ground and what the future holds for our disintegrated opposition. We do not want to give report cards to parties at this hour, but what is clear though is that the NADD leadership seems to be giving more attention to fund raising than wining the votes in Kombo East. Funds are very important, but getting the support of the electorates is equally imperative if the party wants to register a success story in their quest to effect political change in The Gambia.
