Thank you Momodou, for the kind comments and encouragement. Yes, the
silence is indeed deafening, and potentially crippling of initiative. I
must admit that it is a constant struggle to stay motivated in the face of
what looks like an inexplicable indifference by our Gambian compatriots in
the face of such naked oppression and the systematic destruction of the
country we all share. May God continue to inspire us all. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Baba
