A Road To Nowhere

He forced his way in twenty two years ago; things have not necessarily been working; he would however still want everyone to stick with him on this road to nowhere.

This is the story of Mr. Jammeh, a Gambian ‘leader’ who is currently working assiduously to thwart the result of the recent Presidential election in which he lost.

Voices of reasoning from the West African sub-region, the African continent and the world at large have advised him otherwise; the man would not listen. He has decided to take the Alagidi (refractory) path. He would not learn from history.

Members of his cabinets are deserting him; his under-two-million citizens are fleeing to neighboring nations; the odds are fully against him. The man would sit tight, unperturbed.

How long more can pomposity drive insanity? If it doesn’t make sense, shouldn't it be stopped?

Well, here is my conclusion from this show of absurdity - some people just don’t learn from history until they encounter misery.

Playing deaf and dumb to a potential tragedy, especially when it involves the lives of others, is sheer wickedness.

The clocks are ticking; the newly elected leader is ready; the world is waiting for the ‘construction’ of another road that will possibly lead to somewhere in the Gambia.

God bless the Gambia, God bless the World.
