Mr. Conteh,
Thanks for saying the whole truth again. We are not interested in insults and personal attacks in this forum.
We hope that people engage in such disrespectful attitudes will change their styles. For God`s sake, we can
agree to disagree with respect. This is a forum where we can educate each other, for a better Gambia in the
future.
Please let us understand that Yaya Jammeh is paying distractors to join this forum, with all nonsenses to
disunite us. I am appealing to all my comrades to concentrate on the main issues, and ignore all these
nonsenses coming from the AFPRC / SOLDIERS and their cohorts. We should expect more distractions from them,
because they don`t want us to give ideas to the oposition. Their days are numbered. They know that they MUST
pay for their deeds. God bless The Gambia!
Elhajj
