This is absolute twaddle, Objective wow!!!  Mr Ayittey writing thousand's of
articles about Africa does not justify anything, unlike Mr Ayittey, Halipha is
back home contributing his quota in the development of the African
continent,and
ofcourse his contribution  to national development is highly appreciated by
many both nationally and internationally, Halipha is one of very few people
that has taken up the struggle to educate the Gambian people, He could have
stayed in the West  like Mr Ayittey  and many of us but he did not.
  Your very immature article during that coup  era justifying the banning of
Foroyaa  shows that you have a beef with Halifa or foroyaa.Your article
contains no single iota of truth... you should be objective, give the man the
credit he deserves....he is not an opportunist...remember it is easy to write
and very difficult to practice what you write and Halipha in no doubt is doing
both.
