Cherno,
Thank you for putting events into context for people who may not be familiar with how petulant Nderry behaved prior to the Raleigh conference and the magnamity shown by the organizer when he showed up at the conference. Having said that, his behavior after the conference should scare anyone who wants to see a free and accountable press in post jammeh Gambia. If we let people with bully pulpits try to intimidate folks they disagree with, twist facts or outright lie about contemporary issues without challenging them, the resultant monster will be our own creation.

History is prologue. Radio is a powerful medium. It can be use for a lot good, but Rwanda taught us how it's powers could be use too instigate and inflame genocide. Our compatriots with online radio should be cognizant of this power. Free speech is nice if you are left with a country to practice it in.
