Comrade Conteh

There  seem to be a confusion here. It wasn't me who
stated that Lawyer Darboe used the Mandinka language
throughout his speech. What I actually asked for was
what's wrong with the UDP hierarchy? I am still
awaiting a response from either Essa Thomas and Yama
Perhaps I will learn something new from them.

Until then I hope you have a wonderful day.
