Sister Jabou,
Thank you very much, for hitting the top of the nail again. I share the same views with you. I suspect, that
the man is after an International appointment, which has forced him to use this incident as an excuse to
betray his friend. Thank God, we Gambians are not stupid, and nobody can fool us. Keep saying the truth! God
is on your side.
Elhajj.
