Joe,
      the bottom line is you Joe Sambou started
attacking the UDP and Ousainou Darboe and at the very
time i caution you because i knew it would frustrate
our efforts, burst anger among the opposition
supporters and lead to disunity that you and me cannot
control. All your writings  against the UDP and UDP
leadership is on record and they are malicious. It was
after many attacks on Ousainou and UDP leadership that
the UDP Supporters jump in.

Let me tell you that it is not that UDP supporters
were afraid to respond but they though it was going to
be a passing cloud but NO and now here we are. Every
body is ready for word to a word.


Let face the fact, no body would accept to be insulted
continuosly however you want unity or peace.

Saihou
