We are all naked. Dig it your way!
The Gambian political tragedy has failed almost everyone. Be it the incumbent or not. The political examination has never left any story good to be maintained. Neither the opposition nor the ruling governments were able to create a state of well-being. Well, We are all bunches of the same statement -a mismanaged population. A failure we all are and contributing to. Perhaps some would want to know why I put it so banal! My reasons are outrageous: there isn't a system of complete purity anywhere in this political world, what people try to create to justify democracy are fundamental branches made by the common people: the executive, the judiciary and the legislative. In The Gambia as in many African countries, these branches aren't working as supposed. And there can't be enough insult to any democracy than the failure of these branches that should keep the political game balance. Even Magna Carta never wholly defined any atmosphere free from injustice, what makes the authoritative book to follow generations is its unique view of justice dispensation. Magna Carta from the days of slavery purely acclaimed unity via the common yards of the proletarians: it puts it that until the farmers and buyers are converged over the same round table, no representation will bring their wellbeing. It is pretty well the same metaphor I wish to use to analyze the Gambian political journey. Most of us aren't observers and even the few who claim to be aren't getting to the problem. Rather, the problem is getting much stronger than their analytical spectacles. Their glasses are broken. They can't see far.
We haven't representatives! We got men and women who campaigned to secure political positions for their individualistic wishes. They aren't there for us. They are unconscious lone travelers in the wilderness of the Gambian political framework. What is more exacerbating than a political figure failing his/her voters is the voters' failure to elect a competent person. This is not just a Gambian failure but a common African jeopardy. We might now have time trialing behind every slogan of justice but never do we ask for whom and why it was established at the first place. We failed to investigate into the causes of injustices before they started: we are excellent at waiting for accomplished failures such as that of mass ignorance or illiteracy, poor health, disunity, mass imprisonment, diseases so go the infinitive list of predicament. And the politicians know this well.
We should have guaranteed our civil liberties without compromising with the authorities: this is the trace of a proud lineage. Gambians haven't passion for politics, we haven't the eloquence and all w
that we have is the irrelevant lyrical reference of hard-won freedoms of our ancestors which we aren't even struggling to defend. We as oppositions of bad governance should challenge ourselves first before falling down with our faces at our backs. We aren't disunited as they wanted us to be but we aren't united at all. This is the self-harming clarity even an unattended enemy would spot straight. The Gambian oppositions aren't a diaspora climate separated from each other like their borders; the Gambian opposition ban wagon aren't even up to their goals. Honestly we lost the go-ahead, the speed and the relevance. I know very little about the Gambian political situation but that little is core. I am willing to see a better Gambia under a party whose equations are intact and who relate to the common people at all times not because they need votes but because it is politics and they deserve it. An apposition that will strengthen the common good of all by first establishing its moral standards. We need to vote on these grounds and they must manifest this. Not only a bad government should tell us why and how, all the good and the bad share the same system of transparency under real democracy.
