Habib,
You have always been an eternal optimist.I can only hope that the new clime will recondition these folks sufficiently enough to dissuade them from importing Mankanasoo from back home during this month in particular.What I do know though and you don't,is that our own good Doc. in our midst here has has promised his folks back in Badibu that he will scientifically analyse their this favaorite foodstuff to see if it can be efficiently reproduced and marketed in the new world to ensure its wider availability for all the Badibunka diaspora on all the continents.
So maybe you should your breath!!
Regards ,Basss.

Basirou probably knows something that we do not know for accusing my Badibunka in- laws ( the Ceesays) . Alhamdullilah this year I think all of us started the same day -today
Thank you for all your efforts and as Basssss says keep up the good work down there
