Mr. Saine and Fatou, I sent you a reply earlier. I
just forgot to attach your names to it. So just look

THE EVERY DAY TRIALS OF THE WOUNDED
VICTIMS OF APRIL 10 AND 11.
And Jaye thank you for the applauding. But ?I think
that me and my friends are just doing what has to be
done. And we all have to keep in mind that, the real
thing that really needs to be done is to get Jammeh
out of our country. Sp let us all keep fighting. It
can be done, for the story of Melosevich of Korsovo
tells us so.
