My dear brother'
I cannot agree with u more,peace any mutual understanding is the doorway
to a palpable Gambia of the furture.No matter where you stand on the
fence the security of every lifeform in our great nation is in my opinion an
emphatic must.NO surgery is ever successful without all organs of the body
being saved! Otherwise the aftermat of the operation
will result in to an organism worse than the one operated upon in the first
place--Our common goal is a better peaceful more humanistic Gambia
that is reflective of our national athem!
Peace be on to you all
