Sure, Yahya Jammeh should learn from Mahama of Ghana and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria and hand over power peaceful. perhaps, after it all we review the so-called African rising in term of liberal democracy. How well established are the roots of democracy? can they be easily evaporated by the wind of ethnoreligious crises and psychiatrical challenges of present leaders?

Sir,
There is humaneness in what you say - but it should not merely be reduced to " the Gambians resolve their issues themselves" if and when things get out of hand, pressure must be brought to bear from outside. The Islamic Republic of the Gambia may no longer be a member of the (British) Commonwealth, but is still a member of international organisations such as ECOWAS, the African Union, the United Nations – and the Gambian currency is still worth something…
What should happen if things do get out of hand? If e.g. – God forbid , Barrow is assassinated? An international arrest warrant for the killer/s?

When would we learn from disastrous regime change fiascos and the resulting human calamity of the experiments in Libya, Syria and Iraq among others. Now, we are advocating similar measures in Gambia, Zimbabwe and others. Why not include Egypt, Morocco among other dictatorships and "non-democracies" on this list where you recommend the other "rigged democracies" should teach lessons. And after that, we might also ask that the democratic nations of the U.N. should teach similar lessons in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, maybe Russia and China among other "non-democracies" that need lessons.My point is that we should let the Gambians resolve their issues themselves without any big brother interventions. Let these big brothers resolve their own internal issues first.
Sent from my iPad--I listened to the new year message from Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh, the outgoing President of the Gambia and I was deeply shocked to see political buffoonery at the worst level. After Idi Amin of Uganda, we thought the era of tyrants in Africa was over. He claimed that the planned attack by ECOWAS to force him out amounted to declaration of war against the Gambia. Now Yahya Jammeh is the Gambia and Gambia is Yahya Jammeh! He must be forced out by ECOWAS and all democracies in Africa should send forces to teach this demagogue a lesson by forcing him out.Maurice Amutabi
After Jammeh has been removed, Africa should focus on removing Robert Mugabe, Paul Biya, Eduardo dos Santos, Yoweri Museveni, Paul Kagame, Pierre Nkurunziza and other dictators from power. The continent still needs revolutionaries. Yahya Jammeh should borrow a leaf from John Mahama of Ghana, and understand that in democracy you hand over power once you have been defeated at the polls.
