Halima, thanks for your intervention. You are not out of order here and I
hope Yus and Beran would see the wisdom in all the appeals for them to drop
this mud slinging. Yus and Beran, please pause for a moment and listen to
the voices of reason. It makes both of you better humans to walk away from
this unhealthy situation. Please use the occasion of the Eid festival to
recognize your oneness as Gambians and bury the hatchet. All of us would be
better off with your fruitful contributions to the development of our
nation. Happy Tabaski to all.
Chi Jaama
