Demba,

I am not aware of your invitation for myself to be in charge of the
funds-maybe I missed that one. Also and to put the records straight, I was
among the first people who expressed interest in this initiative albeit
with a caveat. I, therefore, don't know what necessitated your 'if you are
not interested' statement. My questions are legitimate and I expect them to
be treated as such.

Now that you have provided answers,which is great, your focus should be
about how to give shape to the project rather than ramping up the tone on
someone who dired to ask.

Thanks for the answers anyway; and let's move on.

Daffeh

together to help defend all and any Gambian who meets the criteria against
arbitrary arrest, detention and disappearance without trace. Off course
there are tons of questions but it is an opportunity for us to steer this
forward with sacrifice and dedication together. Those who are willing to
take our struggle to the next level should be willing to put their
resources and time where we think it matters the most...
