Momodou Camara,

What  is even more unfortunate is the decision of the list managers who voted 
against delisting Joe Sambou because they clearly had an agenda that was not 
based on the rules. However, that does not surprise me at all. It simply 
reflects the negative tendencies in some of us.
Rest assured I will continue with my struggle for a better Gambia especially 
because  this eye opening experience emphasizes the need to do exactly that.
