Mr. Jorbateh,

This is one of the best postings to Gambia L.  Your article contains the
truth, and nothing, but the truth. Many may feel offended, but who cares. I
vehemently believe that (and I have said this before) Africa or Gambia's
problems cannot be solved outside. Thus, if anyone is sincerely interested in
the socioeconomic and political developments of our people, he or she has to
emulate a person of Halifa's calibre. This is someone who has devoted all his
time in empowering our people in many ways, especially from a political
perspective. He continues to share his knowledge and expertise with Gambians
in particular, and Africans at large, in debates, symposiums and workshops
domestically and internationally.  If Mr. Sallah is like those African
politicians and intellectuals whose sole aim of occupying a public office is
to enrich themselves and their families, he could have done so. It would be
recalled that this is someone who rejected a ministerial post a few years ago
for a cause. This will remain in the annals of The Gambia's political
history. I have much respect for him. Any attempts of personal attacks to
tarnish his personality will be fruitless.

S. S. Saidykhan.
