Mr. Barrow,
     You have said it all.  I guest some of us are
still sleeping since we are offering to share an olive
leaf with someone who does not want to share.  Jammeh
is a dictator period, whoever is dreaming to share
with him is just kidding himself.  I hope we will all
learn from Pap Cheyassins, Mr. Tamsir Jassey, ex DIGP
and the list goes on.  Folks, you don't have to be a
rocket scientist to get to know what that fool is all
about.  As S.M. Dibba is concern, I have give up on
him. Although, everyone has the right to be with any
political party but do not deceive others.  As the
saying goes, if you don't trust the messenger how can
you believe the message.  It will be very
disappointing for the poor students who died for our
freedom to know that we are siding with the murder. No
person with his right mind will side with Jammeh on
principles.  All these praise singers are there for
their personal interest.  How there can you support
someone who killed your brothers and sisters and yet
say it is ok.  We all have to remember that those
student being killed for our freedom are our brothers
and sisters.
   Jassey_Conteh and the rest, please have a rational
though before you makeup your mind because you will be
dispointed since you are still in the darkness.
Peace!
Simon.
