They are here Saiks, but that is no deterrent.  Not that many people seem to
know where the venue is or the times of the meeting, though.  Any info?  I
don't know if there will be a meeting with TransAfrica - it will be a
dereliction of duty on their part if they meet with the Chief Thug in Charge
of the Brutality and the present day Poverty of our Gambian people.

                There are no  NIA or july 22 movement down there,sure you
will be save.

                Folks,
                Sources have informed me of a special reception to be held
in honor of the
                Prez during his visit to DC.  A 'top secret' list of
Gambians in the area
                who are deemed 'safe' or 'soft' on Jammeh have been invited
to attend.
                Perhaps those who have not been invited but want to meet the
President of
                ALL Gambians might consider 'crashing' this event. (smile!)
                Also you may want to attend the meeting at the Rainbow
Coalition with Jesse
                Jackson, or perhaps catch up with him at Randall Robinson's
TransAfrica or
                at the State Dept., or perhaps a tete-a-tete at his
residence at ...
                Afterall, a President who cannot meet with his own people
speaks volumes of
                his presidency.
                What would have been wrong with having a forum that is well
moderated in
                which all Gambians (as opposed to a chosen few) are given
the opportunity to
                hear what the President has to say and pose some questions
to him also.
                The jittery behavior of those coordinating his visit as
demonstrated by the
                silence of the Embassy for example, and the screening of
members of the
                community, demonstrate the distrust folks in this government
seem to have
                with the application of democracy. They should not be
surprised though if
                those considered 'safe' or 'soft' turn out to be the ones
with the thorny
                questions for H.E.
                Oh well, I for one wish them all well. I already had plans
to attend my
                cousin's wedding in Atlanta. So sunshine city, here I come!
                Long Live Democracy! Long Live Openess!
                Latjor
