Hormosi: Change, change, change is coming soon. We are seeing a new Gambia, in the making. Crying families will soon wipe their tears. Liberty will soon be restored in our dear country. They can run, but they cannot hide. They can lie against their fellow country men, but will certainly pay for the price sooner or later. They allowed to be used by Jilangka over the years, but will sit one day and cry in the courts. This day is coming soon. Justice will be meted out to those who aided and abetted Jilanka. In most cases such individuals emerged as failures in life. They lie too much with little sense in their brains. They think that they are smart when they are the biggest fools you can find. They failed to comprehend a simple question despite repeated follow ups. These are people calling themselves intelligence gurus. What a shame? Jilanka most of the time hired mad people. They are not clever at all. Their literature is full of junk and inconsistencies. Horomsi is not the least impressed by such dudes. The will of the people is more powerful than the evil. Our country should be administered  by intelligent people and not hustlers. These people have nothing to offer. We shall live to remember them for their past atrocities against Gambians. The new Gambia will be interesting.”

Open Letter to the U.S Ambassador Joseph Stafford, Banjul, The Gambia

Your Excellency, I write this open letter to your office in my capacity as Founder Editor and Chief Executive Officer of The Independent newspaper in Banjul, The Gambia. I would have loved to seek an appointment and have a face-to-face meeting with you. But as I am currently pursuing doctoral studies in the United States, this is not possible. So please allow me to address my concerns to Your Excellency in this open forum.

US Ambassador should act now-Jammeh is burning The Gambia. The Independent should be reopened in the interest of free press and democracy.

Good Morning, President,

This past Weekend was graduation time in the United States. Your own blood brother Ansumana Jammeh was among those who graduated at a Kansas University. Ansumana, we learned was studying Aviation. A big party was hosted for him by Susan and the delegation who came to witness his graduation. Perhaps, Ansumana will be the next MD of the Civil Aviation in days to come. The Civil Aviation management will soon have a new boss. No need to panic. Jilanka is working on that.We cannot understand why our brother Ebou Jallow and his crew missed Ansumana’s graduation. Ebou should be fired. He is not the least fair with Jammeh. He is not doing his PR job properly. The graduation of Ansumana should not be down played at all.

Minister Susan led the Jammeh delegation. A big party was hosted in Kansas during the weekend

Horomsi: “ Freedom is being tested by its enemies and we shall over come the challenges. No amount of threats can move us. Why the well organized conspiracies and back stabbing at this hour? What’s going on? Let sleeping dogs lie for now. This is not the time to black mail one and another. The common enemy is Jammeh and not anyone else. Freedom don’t have time for such petty bickering and undermining schemes. They like to talk, but lack common sense. Stop playing games.  We are too smart to be fooled.   Have a great day…

First of all, I find Alhagie Bah's last snippet concerning what he labels as anti-Jammeh tirades very disconcerting. I guess he is he alluding that Jammeh is getting a raw deal from all the media coverage on this online paper. If that is right, I can only surmise that Mr. Bah, like some other decent Gambians has fallen victim to delusion or self deceit.
