Olly-Mboge,
I never ask you to refrain from whatever you believe in. My only concern is
our people and country.My call is for us to have an effective gambian
organization that will cater for the concerns of gambians both at home and
abroad.I will be more than happy to initiate this on an individual level but
with my experience with gambians,if i was
to proceed individually,the next thing your likes will say is that he did
not inform anyone when taking the initiative.
I was around when we were protesting our right to vote at the embassies.
Here in the states,during the protest on the student massacre,it coincided
with Halifa's visit to the states,we ask him the constitutional provision
for our right to vote in the diaspora.He promised to get back to us after
researching it and he did.
Mboge,i sense a lot of anger in you,but i'm sure you'll learn to calm down
some day.It's all about Gambia and not about individuals and political
parties.
Beran
