Gassa:

Thanks for forwarding the announcement.  It is indeed a step towards
reconciliation between the two countries which we hope will benefit the
people of  both the Gambia and the U.S .

Do you have any information on section 608 of the US Foreign Assistance Act
as highlighted on the release?

However, the report further indicates that the United States looks forward
to pursuing constructive relations with the people and the Government of
Republic of The Gambia on a normal legal basis and in accordance with
fundamental values, most notably, democratic freedoms, the rule of law, and
human dignity.

Don't you think that the recently released report of the State department on
Gambia's  Human Rights might have been a key indicator  for the above
statement?


Best Regards,


Ablie njie- Lekbi
