Who learned a lesson in foolishness, Senegal or Gambia?  Now the government
of fraud is using the Ramadan as an excuse to swallow their ill conceived
scam.  They realized that they boxed themselves and no amout of pride can
help them out of it except they swallow their words.  If we do not do our
homework this is the price we pay.
