any more Gambian blood."

I am not calling for or demanding an eye for an eye, far from it. All I am
asking for is for someone or some group to be held responsible. These poor kids
had barely started their lives when it was cut short by murderers.
Is that such an impossible task??? One can only forgive if the wrongdoer asks
for forgiveness.

dead than live the rest of my life in destitude and misery. I also pray to
God to protect and guide me so that I never find myself in a situation where
I may even comtemplate the taking of anyone's life."

Well I say fair enough to that, but would you agree with me that those martyred
kids were not given that choice, (the choice of whetter they wanetd to be
murdred or not),now I understand your stance Mr Gassama, and that is no sarcasm
either(LOL), so pls try and see my point too.
