Sidi
I am glad the call for new elections is on the way . That will be the only solution in my opinion fair or
unfair-
I still think you will be a good leader for the Gambia ,..knowing the experiences and lessons you have
experience here in the Us and in Africa.
A strong independent third party gives us choices . In the Gambia it is time for that because some people
want to be associated with the good elements from the other parties and get them to change the directions we
are headed for and bring new hope.
The old parties carry a stigma with some of it's leaders . The birth of a new one under Sidi Sanneh is worth
considering.
Think about it, seriously.
Jabou and I continued our good exchange on a more personal level and it went well. Alhamdullilah
Best regards
Habib
