>>Mr. Forster,
>>
>>Good morning.  Juxtapose the two articles to see which qualifies as
>>politically expedient and which is close to factual reporting.  Mr.
>>Barry's piece shows Discordia's hand at work and to opine that what was
>>printed, not reported, "betray a semblance of sympathy towards APRC" by
>>Waa is but an opinion.  Interpreting Waa Juwara's statements to mean
>>that he could be jockeying (with whom?) for leadership is, again, to
>>invite "political debate" on a non-issue.  The Point's article has some
>>substance from which we can glean some of what is important to Waa and
>>many of us who wished to see the back Jammeh for good.
>>
>>Thank you,
>>Soffie Ceesay

>>Mr. Barber,
>>With respect, I would refer you to the article carried by The Point
>>Newspaper re. Waa Juwara. You may wish to visit the point website at
>>www.thepoint.gm. Obviously, this paper will not sweat its socks just to
>>earn the president's cheers! Perhaps as a matter for political debate
>>one could attempt to fathom why Waa of all people would make ANY
>>(emphasis mine) statement that could betray a semblance of sympathy
>>towards APRC. For example, is he jockeying for leadership of a possible
>>new umbrella party. thanks.
