Oko,

Yes, I know who you are very well, and thanks for the memories. Your mom was
a lady I admired.
A note on the Ramadan, you cannot just fast looking for the Lailatul Khadarr
(night of power) You have to fast the whole month.
Thanks again for the Jawara era expose, but let us never forget that we have
to condemn all those leaders, past as well as present, who subjugate our
people to untold suffering because only in revealing the truth and refusing to
accept compromise lies our untimate freedom from tyranny.
