Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obama's sad legacy....cheerleaders accountable
This is not necessarily my view but that of Cornel West.

Pity the sad legacy of Barack Obama
Cornel West
Our hope and change candidate fell short time and time again. Obama cheerleaders who refused to make him accountable bear some responsibility
'Most well-paid pundits on TV and radio celebrated the Obama brand.'
Monday 9 January 2017 The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/09/ barack-obama-legacy-presidency
Eight years ago the world was on the brink of a grand celebration: the inauguration of a brilliant and charismatic black president of the United States of America. Today we are on the edge of an abyss: the installation of a mendacious and cathartic white president who will replace him.
This is a depressing decline in the highest office of the most powerful empire in the history of the world. It could easily produce a pervasive cynicism and poisonous nihilism. Is there really any hope for truth and justice in this decadent time? Does America even have the capacity to be honest about itself and come to terms with its self-destructive addiction to money-worship and cowardly xenophobia?
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Herman Melville – the two great public intellectuals of 19th-century America – wrestled with similar questions and reached the same conclusion as Heraclitus: character is destiny ("sow a character and you reap a destiny").
The age of Barack Obama may have been our last chance to break from our neoliberal soulcraft. We are rooted in market-driven brands that shun integrity and profit-driven policies that trump public goods. Our "post-integrity" and "post-truth" world is suffocated by entertaining brands and money-making activities that have little or nothing to do with truth, integrity or the long-term survival of the planet. We are witnessing the postmodern version of the full-scale gangsterization of the world.
The reign of Obama did not produce the nightmare of Donald Trump – but it did contribute to it. And those Obama cheerleaders who refused to make him accountable bear some responsibility.
A few of us begged and pleaded with Obama to break with the Wall Street priorities and bail out Main Street. But he followed the advice of his "smart" neoliberal advisers to bail out Wall Street. In March 2009, Obama met with Wall Street leaders. He proclaimed: I stand between you and the pitchforks. I am on your side and I will protect you, he promised them. And not one Wall Street criminal executive went to jail.
We called for the accountability of US torturers of innocent Muslims and the transparency of US drone strikes killing innocent civilians. Obama's administration told us no civilians had been killed. And then we were told a few had been killed. And then told maybe 65 or so had been killed. Yet when an American civilian, Warren Weinstein, was killed in 2015 there was an immediate press conference with deep apologies and financial compensation. And today we still don't know how many have had their lives taken away.
We hit the streets again with Black Lives Matter and other groups and went to jail for protesting against police killing black youth. We protested when the Israeli Defense Forces killed more than 2,000 Palestinians (including 550 children) in 50 days. Yet Obama replied with words about the difficult plight of police officers, department investigations (with no police going to jail) and the additional $225m in financial support of the Israeli army. Obama said not a mumbling word about the dead Palestinian children but he did call Baltimore black youth "criminals and thugs".
In addition, Obama's education policy unleashed more market forces that closed hundreds of public schools for charter ones. The top 1% got nearly two-thirds of the income growth in eight years even as child poverty, especially black child poverty, remained astronomical. Labor insurgencies in Wisconsin, Seattle and Chicago (vigorously opposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a close confidant of Obama) were passed over in silence.
In 2009, Obama called New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg an "outstanding mayor". Yet he overlooked the fact that more than 4 million people were stopped-and-frisked under Bloomberg's watch. Along with Carl Dix and others, I sat in a jail two years later for protesting these very same policies that Obama ignored when praising Bloomberg.
Yet the mainstream media and academia failed to highlight these painful truths linked to Obama. Instead, most well-paid pundits on TV and radio celebrated the Obama brand. And most black spokespeople shamelessly defended Obama's silences and crimes in the name of racial symbolism and their own careerism. How hypocritical to see them now speak truth to white power when most went mute in the face of black power. Their moral authority is weak and their newfound militancy is shallow.
The gross killing of US citizens with no due process after direct orders from Obama was cast aside by neoliberal supporters of all colors. And Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Jeffrey Sterling and other truth-tellers were demonized just as the crimes they exposed were hardly mentioned.
The president's greatest legislative achievement was to provide healthcare for over 25 million citizens, even as another 20 million are still uncovered. But it remained a market-based policy, created by the conservative Heritage Foundation and first pioneered by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts.
Obama's lack of courage to confront Wall Street criminals and his lapse of character in ordering drone strikes unintentionally led to rightwing populist revolts at home and ugly Islamic fascist rebellions in the Middle East. And as deporter-in-chief – nearly 2.5 million immigrants were deported under his watch – Obama policies prefigure Trump's barbaric plans.
Bernie Sanders gallantly tried to generate a leftwing populism but he was crushed by Clinton and Obama in the unfair Democratic party primaries. So now we find ourselves entering a neofascist era: a neoliberal economy on steroids, a reactionary repressive attitude toward domestic "aliens", a militaristic cabinet eager for war and in denial of global warming. All the while, we are seeing a wholesale eclipse of truth and integrity in the name of the Trump brand, facilitated by the profit-hungry corporate media.
What a sad legacy for our hope and change candidate – even as we warriors go down swinging in the fading names of truth and justice.

"Yes, of course, I will make United Kingdom our number one trading partner"
(Adama Barrow, President of Gambia speaking on "Sky News")

Cornelius Hamelberg <corneliushamelberg@gmail.com> : Jan 21 07:13AM -0800
My man, Chidi of Owerri,
Brother to brother:
On digesting the import of the President's words, "*Yes, of course, I will
make United Kingdom our number one trading partner*", the iconoclast and
anti-impi (anti-imperialist) that you sometimes are, could have made you -
and me too – arrive at a conclusion that there was one uncle tom number one
speaking, his "*of course*" being specially irritating. Why "of course"?
Was it the United Kingdom that put together an 8,000 man strong ECOWAS
military force (land, sea and air) to put pressure on Jammeh – who didn't
have the ghost of a chance in defeating such a force or turning the
overwhelming tide of Gambian people against extending his rule? Diplomacy
backed by the threat of overwhelming force. The same people live in Gambia
and Senegal. The people are now celebrating. I fully agree with Professor
Harrow
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/USAAfricaDialogue/ >tI45m5ezu08/-2ZncPIhAgAJ
Just as in Sierra Leone – ultimately it was ECOMORG forces, led by
Nigeria's Maxwell Khobe
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Maxwell+Khobe > and at tremendous cost
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=the+cost+of+ >ECOMOG+forces+in+Sierra+leone
finally dislodged the RUF (I cried hot tears when Khobe was killed) - it
was ECOMORG and not Britain 's Operation Barras
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Operation+Barras > – to rescue some
UK soldiers that had been kidnapped by The West Side Boys (that's another
story) that dislodged RUF.
As President Barrow has said, there is a lot of reform work to be done in
making the new Gambia -great again...
1. The Gambia's main export is peanuts
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Gambia%27s+ > – but tourism,exports
mostly tourists from the UK, is one of the mainstays of their economy.
Gambia too imports a lot of the industrial waste from the UK from nail
clippers to nylon strings for the kora
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=gambian+kora+ >music&tbm=vid&tbs=dur:l
...
2. *His **Presidential **Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya
Abdul-Aziz Awal Jemus Junkung Jammeh Naasiru Deen Babili Mansa* -* by
sudden decree* - announced that Gambia was no longer a member of the
Commonwealth
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=gambia+leaves+ >. Onthe+commonwealth
the day that he made that announcement, I knew that his days were numbered.
3. In anticipation of any future trials for any Human Rights transgressions
said to have been committed by him, he announced
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Gambia+leaves+iCC > (decreed) that
Gambia was no longer a member of the International Criminal Court ( the ICC
in which Gambia's Fatou Bensouda
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Fatou+Bensouda > is a judge)
4. By decree he outlawed FGM – and that must have endeared him somewhat to
the anti-FGM World.
5. Perhaps most worrying of all, one day, he announced that he *personally*
would slit the throats of any homosexuals
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Gambia+and+ > foundhomosexulaity
practising in Gambia.
5. Suddenly, <https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/leda-and-swan > and
without consultation - he announced that the Gambia was henceforth "The
Islamic Republic of the Gambia
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=The+Islamic+ >"Republic+of+the+Gambia
which could have strengthened his Islamic credentials in the Islamic
heartlands - is that not what Boko Haram is fighting for, one day, to raise
their flag over "*The Islamic Republic of Nigeria*" - from Sokoto to Port
Harcourt? Eh Chidi? Of course the threat of that happening could further
strengthen the Biafra cause. I thought of Boko Haram among others when I
heard President Trump making this solemn promise , "*We will reinforce old
alliances and form new ones *-- *and unite the civilized world against
radical Islamic terrorism*, *which we will eradicate completely from the
face of the Earth."*
Nobel Laureate in Literature Bob Dylan sings,
"Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Patriotism+is+ >the+last+refuge+to+which+a+ scoundrel+clings
"
Gambia needs all the help they can get and from his considerable wealth
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=How+much+is+ >President+Jammeh+worth%3F
the patriotic ex-President Jammeh himself ought to make a significant
donation – sadaqah <https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=sadaqah > to aid
Gambia's ailing economy, even if he has to do it all the way from Conakry.
It's not that the new president is promising to reward the United Kingdom
with the number one spot as trading partner for having once colonised his
people - in context, here is what he ( as the UK papers are fond of telling
us, a former security guard at Argos
<https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Argos > - now a Mr. President )
said:
Gambia's President Adama Harrow's interview on Sky TV:
<http://news.sky.com/story/new-gambian-president-tells- >sky-he-will-assume-power-in- his-country-shortly-10735573
"There is a strong tie with Britain and Gambia if you recall history.
"They colonised Gambia and we are part of the Commonwealth and we will
return to the Commonwealth again.
"Any aspects that's going on in Gambia, Britain will be our number one
partner in terms of trade, in terms of democracy, in terms of good
governance. They will be our partners."
It was not so long ago that this was up for discussion :
"*Garba Shehu and **Buhari's £6-Million London Ear Treatment"*
<http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2016/09/garba-shehu-and- >buharis-6-million.html
*Soon enough, President Barrow will be flying over to 10 Downing Street for
consultations – **eventually we will see him over here in Sweden too -
where a sizeable portion of the Diaspora Gambians some in involuntary exile
live – but before he comes to Sweden he will be shaking hands with Brother
Buhari and speaking Fulani - ** and we wish him all the best! *

First, I responded not only - or even concentrating on - solar thermal, but
BOTH solar thermal AND solar PV, both of which PRIMARILY depend FIRST on
insolation, which is 60% more in the hottest parts of the North of Nigeria
than in the "least hot" parts of Southern Nigeria. Fashola referred to
"solar power" - and I take it to mean ALL kinds of solar power. Secondly, I
believe that you make too much about the use of "People" in Fashola's
statement. I very much doubt if he is talking of INDIVIDUAL efforts, but
major off-grid and on-grid efforts. Again, I do not think that he is
DISCOURAGING people in the South from doing so, but in the presence of
ALTERNATIVES anywhere in the South, I do not believe that his observation
is out of order.
Finally, there is no point you and I arguing over this matter. We are
agreed that ALL (eight) primary sources of energy for power generation
exists in Nigeria and MUST be deployed, sans political considerations.
These include hydro, oil, gas, solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and
nuclear. Each has unit costs (ie dollars per MW or per 100MW, say)
peculiar to a lowly-industrialized, import-dependent Nigeria, which in
itself is dependent on the total size of the generating plant conceived -
the larger the scale, the lower the unit cost. What technology is
appropriate do be deployed in which geographical region in Nigeria is a
subject of attention. These costs cannot be imported directly from the
USA or from Germany! Then which fraction of the financing should be public
or private, domestic or international, and what is the time scale of
deployment to bridge our 20-60,000 MW MUNICIPAL power gap and allow for
catalytic expansion should be determined.
The quicker to get on with the work of sorting out this matrix of
opportunities, information and needs - and acting on it - the better for
us. But I believe that government has the responsibility of deploying some
public funds for crucial, strategically- and security-critical utilities -
and power and water are certainly two of them. While individuals and
corporations are constantly attempting to bridge the power gap themselves,
intrinsically they can only do this most inefficiently, and only municipal
power (large-scale power generation (possibly distributed), transmission
and distribution, with cost-reflective tarriffs) will lead to affordable,
reliable and sustainable power.
There is much work to do.

My column in today's Daily Trust on Saturday
<http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2017/01/buharis-gambian- >gambit-as-borno-burns.html

*By Farooq A. Kperogi, Ph.D.*

Gambians are our West African brothers and sisters who deserve our help in
their hour of need. I get that. But no one can truly help the other when
they are themselves in need of help, when they are wracked by internal
turmoil. President Buhari has no business being in Gambia's business while
his country burns.
Imagine for a moment that Nigeria's current president were a man called
Goodluck Jonathan (or, for that matter, any southern Christian), and the
military "mistakenly" dropped a bomb on hapless internally displaced Boko
Haram victims, killing scores of them and critically injuring many more.
Imagine again that such a president didn't deem it worth his while to visit
the state where this grievous tragedy happened, but instead chose to go to
another country to resolve the country's political differences. What would
we northern Muslims be saying by now?
<https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3r2kd9lejko/WIBNzXSRJdI/ >AAAAAAAAFb8/ 3iAuMYNvcE4QzL3qoTJXUclCf- zl9EuPQCLcB/s1600/Buhari%2Bin% 2BGambia.jpg
Well, something close actually happened in late 2014. At a time Boko Haram
captured Mubi, Adamawa's second largest town and former Chief of Defense
Staff Alex Badeh's hometown, Goodluck Jonathan chose to travel to Burkina
Faso to resolve the country's political crisis. The public denunciation
that followed that presidential indiscretion was swift and massive.
This was what I wrote in my November 8, 2014 column titled, "State of
Emergency Amid Worsening Boko Haram Insurgency"
<http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2014/11/state-of-emergency- >:and-worsening-boko.html
"Amid the heartrending humanitarian disaster that Boko Haram has wreaked on
Mubi, the president chose to travel to Burkina Faso to 'resolve' the
country's political crisis. Which sane person goes to put out another
person's fire while his house is up in flames? I have never seen a more
cruelly insensitive and clueless response to a grave national crisis than
this in my entire life."
Buhari's situation is actually worse. The military he is commander-in-chief
of, not Boko Haram, was singularly responsible for "mistakenly" killing
scores of vulnerable, hungry and serially cheated IDPs, and all he has done
is issue a "regret" through his Twitter handle. He didn't physically travel
to Borno State to condole with and comfort the people. He is more concerned
with and consumed by what is happening in the Gambia than the humanitarian
tragedy that is unfolding in his own backyard.
To be clear, I don't think the Nigerian air force deliberately targeted the
IDPs. I don't see what purpose that would serve. It is entirely reasonable
to agree that it was genuinely an accident. But it's a monumental,
unprecedented national disaster nonetheless. It should have invited a
solemn presidential national broadcast, not a mere tweet, which we all know
the president didn't even compose.
It's true that even well-trained military personnel like America's have had
occasions to accidentally bomb wrong targets in Afghanistan, Iraq and
elsewhere. But we are talking here of a nation's military accidentally
bombing its own fellow citizens in their own country—and in their weakest
and most helpless state!
A Facebook friend of mine by the name of Solomon Wise captured the tragedy
this way in his comment on my wall: "Ravaged by Boko Haram and forced to
live in an IDP camp in their own country where Govt officials steal their
food. Now mistakenly bombed." This caused me to shed a tear. Call me a wimp
if you like, but it did make me cry.
Now, a presidential national broadcast to mourn this tragedy and a personal
visit by the president to give emotional strength to the bereaved won't
bring back the lost lives, but it would show respect for the dead and show
that the president cares and takes responsibility for the fatal error of
the people he is commander-in-chief of. In no serious country in the world
would a president fly to another country in the face of this unexampled
tragedy and ask his Chief of Staff to represent him in condoling grieving
families.
I am not by any means minimizing the horrendousness of other humanitarian
tragedies that the president has unwisely chosen to justify (such as the
bloodcurdling military mass murders of Shias in Zaria) or ignore (such as
the absolutely condemnable butchery in southern Kaduna and Agatu), but the
accidental bombing, by the Nigerian military, of the survivors of Boko
Haram's unspeakable savagery amid the unconscionable governmental neglect
they already suffered deserved a swifter, less insensitive, and more humane
response from the commander-in-chief.
There is no way to sugarcoat it: Buhari's response is at once clueless,
cruel, and condemnable. Unfortunately, it fits a pattern that is emerging
in his attitude to and relationship with the poor. He has a profoundly
ice-cold contempt for the poor.
Although he has traveled to virtually every continent in the world and has
budgeted hundreds of millions of naira this year to travel to even more
countries, he has never visited the theaters of Boko Haram insurgency. He
simply sits in the luxury of Aso Rock and proclaims the "technical defeat"
(whatever in the world that means) of Boko Haram and talks to soldiers on
the front lines via closed-circuit television.
What would it cost the president to pay a symbolic visit to the
northeast—and elsewhere? When he was soliciting votes from potential
voters, he traveled to every state except Yobe. He campaigned in Borno and
Adamawa, which were gripped by a fiercer confrontation with Boko Haram than
now.
Why won't the president visit Borno now, especially in light of the quick
succession of tragedies that have hit the state? Before the "accidental"
bombing of IDPs, a University of Maiduguri veterinary medicine professor
and 4 others were murdered by a 7-year-old Boko Haram suicide bomber.
Well, you know, the victims are poor, unknown people who are of no
consequence to the president. When former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's
daughter got married in Adamawa, the president braved out the "odds" (never
mind that he says he has "technically defeated" Boko Haram) and physically
attended the wedding ceremony. Nobody represented him. He even said his
wedding-induced visit gave him a glimpse of the suffering of the people of
the state and caused him to shed tears, hopefully not crocodile tears.
Had a humanitarian tragedy struck Adamawa, you can bet your bottom naira
that the president won't personally go there. Apparently, poor people don't
matter—unless their votes are needed as ladders to climb to power. Perhaps
a rich, politically connected Borno man should marry off his daughter and
invite the president. Maybe that is what it would take for the president to
visit Borno. All people who want the president's presence in their states
should replicate this stratagem.
It appears that, for President Buhari, who had been falsely thought of for
years as a defender of the *talakawa*, only the rich matter. That's why he
attends rich people's festive occasions outside of Abuja and instructs his
media aides to issue presidential birthday wishes on the occasion of rich
people's birthdays, but picks and chooses which tragedies involving poor
people he comments on or commiserates with.
To be fair to Buhari, most, perhaps all, Nigerian politicians deeply
disdain the poor. We only thought Buhari was different. He obviously is
not. Sad.

Pity the sad legacy of Barack Obama

Our hope and change candidate fell short time and time again. Obama cheerleaders who refused to make him accountable bear some responsibility
'Most well-paid pundits on TV and radio celebrated the Obama brand.'
Monday 9 January 2017 The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/09/ barack-obama-legacy-presidency
Eight years ago the world was on the brink of a grand celebration: the inauguration of a brilliant and charismatic black president of the United States of America. Today we are on the edge of an abyss: the installation of a mendacious and cathartic white president who will replace him.
This is a depressing decline in the highest office of the most powerful empire in the history of the world. It could easily produce a pervasive cynicism and poisonous nihilism. Is there really any hope for truth and justice in this decadent time? Does America even have the capacity to be honest about itself and come to terms with its self-destructive addiction to money-worship and cowardly xenophobia?
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Herman Melville – the two great public intellectuals of 19th-century America – wrestled with similar questions and reached the same conclusion as Heraclitus: character is destiny ("sow a character and you reap a destiny").
The age of Barack Obama<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= > may have been our last chance to break from our neoliberal soulcraft. We are rooted in market-driven brands that shun integrity and profit-driven policies that trump public goods. Our "post-integrity" and "post-truth" world is suffocated by entertaining brands and money-making activities that have little or nothing to do with truth, integrity or the long-term survival of the planet. We are witnessing the postmodern version of the full-scale gangsterization of the world.https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian. com%2Fus-news%2Fbarack-obama& data=01%7C01%7Csadanand% 40ccsu.edu% 7C63dae98a842c46188cb708d4388c f377% 7C2329c570b5804223803b427d800e 81b6%7C0&sdata=UU% 2BJ4xziu6cFrVR3KHEJ8gMpvmuemL2 OPHeS48dKWjw%3D&reserved=0
The reign of Obama did not produce the nightmare of Donald Trump – but it did contribute to it. And those Obama cheerleaders who refused to make him accountable bear some responsibility.
A few of us begged and pleaded with Obama to break with the Wall Street priorities and bail out Main Street. But he followed the advice of his "smart" neoliberal advisers to bail out Wall Street. In March 2009, Obama met with Wall Street leaders. He proclaimed: I stand between you and the pitchforks. I am on your side and I will protect you, he promised them. And not one Wall Street criminal executive went to jail.
We called for the accountability<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook. > of US torturers of innocent Muslims and the transparency of US drone strikes killing innocent civilians. Obama's administration told us no civilians had been killed. And then we were told a few had been killed. And then told maybe 65 or so had been killed<https://na01.safelinks.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.c- span.org%2Fvideo%2F%3F316282- 1%2Factivists-examine-drones- around-globe&data=01%7C01% 7Csadanand%40ccsu.edu% 7C63dae98a842c46188cb708d4388c f377% 7C2329c570b5804223803b427d800e 81b6%7C0&sdata= Lmo6tcU2smB5qPMggQol% 2FiMbXMcwWxzF%2BPQJhOAj798%3D& reserved=0 protection.outlook.com/?url= >.

In addition, Obama's education policy unleashed more market forces that closed hundreds of public schools for charter ones. The top 1% got nearly two-thirds of the income growth in eight years even as child poverty, especially black child poverty, remained astronomical.

Yet the mainstream media and academia failed to highlight these painful truths linked to Obama. Instead, most well-paid pundits on TV and radio celebrated the Obama brand. And most black spokespeople shamelessly defended Obama's silences and crimes in the name of racial symbolism and their own careerism. How hypocritical to see them now speak truth to white power when most went mute in the face of black power. Their moral authority is weak and their newfound militancy is shallow.
The gross killing<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook. > of US citizens with no due process after direct orders from Obama was cast aside by neoliberal supporters of all colors. And Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Jeffrey Sterling and other truth-tellers were demonized just as the crimes they exposed were hardly mentioned.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww. theguardian.com% 2Fcommentisfree%2Fcifamerica% 2F2011%2Fsep%2F30%2Fanwar- awlaki-extrajudicial-murder& data=01%7C01%7Csadanand% 40ccsu.edu% 7C63dae98a842c46188cb708d4388c f377% 7C2329c570b5804223803b427d800e 81b6%7C0&sdata=SnhDkzovqlLgQY% 2BkNLNe%2FPDQc466TXXlng% 2Fk0KasSMw%3D&reserved=0

Bernie Sanders gallantly tried to generate a leftwing populism but he was crushed by Clinton and Obama in the unfair Democratic party primaries. So now we find ourselves entering a neofascist era: a neoliberal economy on steroids, a reactionary repressive attitude toward domestic "aliens", a militaristic cabinet eager for war and in denial of global warming. All the while, we are seeing a wholesale eclipse of truth and integrity in the name of the Trump brand, facilitated by the profit-hungry corporate media.
What a sad legacy for our hope and change candidate – even as we warriors go down swinging in the fading names of truth and justice.

Dear Readers:
This is a continuing development in the last 4 days. This is the last before the final report on The Gambian Presidential unfolding and the strength of ECOWAS in the region. The last report will be filed as soon as President Adama Barrow arrives in Banjul. Former President Yahya Jammeh would have left The Gambia.
In the last two hours, the last step:
Yahya Jammeh bows to the last effort at peaceful mediation and ultimatum by ECOWAS.
Army Chief formally deserted him and recognized President Adama Barrow.
Red carpets were rolled and later unfolded at the Banjul airport on Friday.
Right: Senegalese President Macky Sall and The Gambian President Adama Barrow (middle) at Friday Muslim prayers in Dakar, Senegal. Jan. 20, 2017.
From official sources and confirmed by President Adama Barrow, former President Yahya Jammeh will leave Gambia today.
The convoy of the last negotiators, President Alpha Condé of Guinea and Mauritania's President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, left for Coco Ocean Hotel.
President Abdul Aziz, and President Alpha Condé, were joined by the UN's regional chief, Mohammed Ibn Chambas, in the last attempt to persuade Jammeh to face reality. If not, he would have been forced out by the ECOWAS troops already in Gambia.
President Barrow tweeted: "I would like to inform you that Yahya Jammeh has agreed to step down. He is scheduled to depart Gambia today."
It is unclear where Jammeh will be heading to.There have been suggestions he may now go to Guinea, although he has been offered asylum in Nigeria and it is believed Morocco has done the same.
Reportedly, Jammeh will be granted immunity from persecution during his 22 years in office. However, his offer to remain in Gambia was denied and non-negotiable by ECOWAS. In his first media interview with Al Jazeera, Barrow said that he hoped ECOWAS could find him a safe haven.
Left: President Alpha Condé of Guinea and Former President Jammeh of Gambia
On Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, Gambia's army Chief General, Ousman Badjie, told Reuters that he recognizes new President Adama Barrow as the new commander-and-chief and would not fight a regional force poised to depose Yahya Jammeh.
On the presence of ECOWAS troops, "We are going to welcome them with flowers and make them a cup of tea," Badjie said. "This is a political problem. It's a misunderstanding. We are not going to fight Nigerian, Togolese or any military that come.
The defection of General Ousman Badjie who had previously stood by Jammeh, removed what was perhaps the former coup leader's last remaining pillar of support in face of the ECOWAS decision to capture Jammeh, dead or alive, if he failed to leave.
Unfolding News in the last 4 days
By Evelyn Joe
Dear Reader:
This is an ongoing thread on developments unfolding in The Gambia. If you have read the previous news, you may be interested in just the updates. You will have the latest developments when confirmed.
New development in the last 24 hours:
Based from sources close to the negotiation,
YAHYA JAMMEH MAY BE FLOWN TO MAURITANIA TONIGHT PEACEFULLY or REMOVED FORCEFULLY.
His option to stay in Gambia is no longer negotiable.
Jammeh realized a dawn of reality and started negotiations with ECOWAS on Thursday, and agreed to leave office. He demanded amnesty for any crimes that he may have committed during his 22 years in power and that be permitted to stay in The Gambia, at his home village of Kanilai.
Jammeh's requests, which were acceptable before he failed to step down as constitutionally required, are no longer acceptable to ECOWAS, said Marcel Alain de Souza, President of the ECOWAS Commission. He said Jammeh's continued presence in The Gambia would "create disturbances to public order and terrorist movements."

This morning in Banjul, as negotiations continued, it was time for Muslim Friday prayers in Chairman Jammeh Mosque inside the grounds of State House. Imam Alhaji Jallow preached about faith and following the right path.
Development since the swearing-in of President Adama Barrow of The Gambia.
The Gambia's President took the Oath of Office on January 19, 2017 at the Gambian Embassy in Dakar.
Former President Yahya Jammeh, with a collapsed cabinet, declared that he has dissoled his cabinet and will appoint a new one soon.
ECOWAS gives Jammeh one last chance to leave as Guinean Presidents Alpa Conde and Ould Aziz of Mauritania lead the final attempt at peaceful resolution. Jan. 20 at HIGN NOON was the deadline. Jammeh pleaded for more time to leave today.

IT IS OFFICIAL
HIS EXCELLENCY ADAMA BARROW IS THE THIRD PRESIDENT OF THE GAMBIA
The inauguration of the third President of The Gambia, Adama Barrow, took place as constitutionally required on January 19, 2017.
To avoid the volatile and security concerns created by former President Yahya Jammeh's refusal to leave office, the swearing-in took place in Senegal, at the Gambian Embassy in Dakar. Dignitaries from the region and around the world graced the occasion. President Adama Barrow is internationally recognized as the President of The Gambia.

The oath office in the capital was administered by Sheriff Tambedou, the President of the Gambia Bar Association.
Due to limited space capacity, several hundred people watched the televised event standing outside the Gambian embassy in Dakar, news agencies reported. "This is a day no Gambian will ever forget in a lifetime," Barrow said in his inaugural speech. "We will now build a Gambia where what you know counts more than who you know," the newly sworn President said.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres congratulated the new president, extending his support. Guterres "told President Barrow of his full support for his determination, and ECOWAS' historic decision, with the unanimous backing of the Security Council, to restore the rule of law in The Gambia so as to honor and respect the will of the Gambian people," a UN spokesman said. Congratulatory calls from other governments around the world have been sent to President Barrow.
Jubilation broke out in the streets in Gambia, first cautiously, then boldly.
The Gambia's of Defence Staff (CDS), Ousman Badjie, took to the streets on Thursday in scenes of wild celebration after President Adama Barrow was inaugurated in neighboring Senegal.

Joint ECOWAS-AU-UN Statement on the occasion of the swearing-in Ceremony of H.E. Adama Barrow, President-Elect of the Republic of the Gambia
19TH JANUARY 2017
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations congratulate H.E. Adama Barrow, President of the Republic of The Gambia on the occasion of his swearing-in and assumption of the mantle of leadership to the highest office of the land following his victory at the presidential election of 1stDecember 2016 and in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of The Gambia.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations equally congratulate the people of The Gambia who have demonstrated patience, discipline, maturity and resolve to defend their popular will, as expressed in the 1stDecember, 2016 presidential election and during the post-electoral crisis.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations once again commend the independence, professionalism and commitment of members of the Independent Electoral Commission of The Gambia and all political parties for exercising the needed restraint that paved way for the peaceful conduct of the 1stDecember, 2016 presidential election.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations commend the leadership and commitment demonstrated by Her Excellency (Mrs) Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia and Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, as well as His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and ECOWAS Mediator, and H.E. John Dramani Mahama, former President of the Republic of Ghana and Co-Mediator, for the efforts undertaken for the resolution of the post-electoral impasse in The Gambia in full compliance with constitutional legality to ensure peaceful transfer of power.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations urge His Excellency Adama Barrow to take all necessary steps to strengthen national unity, social harmony and peace in the Gambia with a view to addressing the socio-political and economic challenges that have hampered poverty reduction in the country.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations once again urge the Security Forces to observe neutrality and conduct themselves in a civil manner, and to strongly support President Barrow by maintaining public order and security which are essential to the stability and development of the country.
The ECOWAS Commission, African Union and United Nations reaffirm their commitment to continue accompanying The Gambia in consolidating democracy and rule of law in the country.
OPERATION RESTORE DEMOCRACY
In face of the continued recalcitrance of former President Jammeh who still roams in the State House, the 7,000-member intervention force set up by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) entered the Gambia following President Adama Barrow's swearing-in ceremony.
The operation started after the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution giving "full support" to Ecowas to enforce the outcome of the December 1, 2016 elections when Barrow's victory terminated Jammeh's 22 years rule.
It was temporarily halted to give Jammeh one last chance to embrace a peaceful exit.
PRESS RELEASE:
ONE LAST CHANCE FOR YAHYA JAMMEH
PRESIDENTS OF GUINEA, MAURITANIA AND LIBERIA ON A FINAL MEDIATION MISSION TO GAMBIA ON FRIDAY - ECOWAS OFFICIAL
ECOWAS is taking every measure for a peaceful resolution until Jammeh stubbornly fails to leave today.
Mr. Marcel Alain de Souza, President of the ECOWAS Commission said Guinean President Alpha Condé will fly to Banjul to negotiate with Jammeh. He will do so after first going to. Mauritania has been mentioned as a possible country where Jammeh could go into exile.
President Condé and Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz left the main airport in Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania, at 11:05 local time (1105 GMT) and landed in Banjul. They are meeting with Mr. Jammeh. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia and Chairperson of ECOWAS also arrived in Banjul on Friday.
Mr. Souza said that if the meeting fails, military action would follow.
Jammeh "has the choice of going with President Alpha Conde," said de Souza. "If, at 12 o'clock, he does not make up his mind, we will bring him by force or by will. Our troops will advance on Banjul. Until the last minute, we still think there is a solution resulting from a dialogue."
"Gambia is encircled," Marcel de Souza said in comments broadcast by Senegal's RFM radio station. He issued a warning to Jammeh, saying, "if he persists, Ecowas will dislodge him by force."
Sources indicate Yahya Jammeh has asked the West African bloc ECOWAS for an extension of a midday deadline for him to leave power until 4 p.m. local time (1600 GMT), government sources said on Friday. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf
Inexplicably, in statements broadcast on State media, Jammeh said he has dissolved his cabinet and plans to name a new one. Meanwhile, almost all the Cabinet Ministers already deserted Jammeh with mass resignations, including his Vice President.
The Nigerian air force has been flying over The Gambia, an official said, as African troops prepare to force former President Yahya Jammeh to quit after his term expired. "I confirm that the armed reconnaissance air force are over Gambia," Nigerian Air Force spokesman Ayodele Famuyiwa told AFP. "They have the capacity to strike."
News agencies reported on Thursday that troops from Senegal had entered the Gambia "We have entered Gambia," Colonel Abdou Ndiaye wrote in a text message to Reuters news agency. "They entered this afternoon," he said after Barrow's swearing-in ceremony.
The ECOWAS troops met no resistance.
Unfolding News in the last 3 days
By Evelyn Joe
Dear Reader:
This is an ongoing thread on developments unfolding in The Gambia. If you have read the previous news, you may be interested in just the updates. You will have the latest developments when confirmed.
YAHYA JAMMEH:
DELUSIONAL and DESERTED
AT THE MOMENT OF RECKONING
Updates as they happened in the last 12 hours:
Yahya Jammeh's lawyer who filed the petition to annul the election and to prevent the swearing-in of President-elect Adama Barrow defected and fled to Senegal. He advises his recalcitrant former client to give up. Letter included.
The Gambia's Army Defence Chief ordered Gambian soldiers not to fight the African troops entering his country. According to the army boss, such counter-action would amount to "a stupid fight." He indicated that he loves his men in uniform, enough not to put them in harm's way.
Yahya Jammeh changed his mind again, after he reportedly agreed to leave following a last-ditch intervention by Mauritania's president.
Senegal tabled a draft to the UN Security Council seeking approval for the ECOWAS intervention in Gambia if all peaceful means fail to resolve the crisis.
Last attempt for peaceful resolution failed.
ECOWAS forces have entered The Gambia to secure the State House, the seat of government. They encountered no resistance from the country's military.
Given security concern and forces, including the fright that gripped the populace, Banjul is eerily quiet. President-elect Adama Barrow will be sworn in at the Gambian Embassy in Dakar, Senegal.
