Us and our clichés...

I think we need a new cliché. I'm kinda missing that inordinate use of words like "impasse," "no-stress," "recuse," "unconstitutional," etc. and "blueprint" is tired.
On a serious note, fi kufi sanyon, Banjul moye daha Paris. Wye nak, before a "road map" for that, before all our beautiful ideas are forced to be moved from concepts to reality, before one dismisses the improvement of our newfound system so far, before any comparison between ours and Ghana's or Senegal's is considered valid, it's only fair that one asks oneself:

Do I become a negationist and pretend that our realities are the same? Is our political change a clean up or a smooth pick up from where the ex left off? What do we have as baseline if not hydra-headed social, political, and economic problems left unsolved by the ex-government? Me, given our circumstances, I wouldn't say a blueprint is long overdue. What's prolly overdue is the silence of some who've become overnight volunteer development con-sultants.
