Folks,we should be very mindful of inculcating tribalism in the blood streams
of one another.It is very sad that some people cannot realised the long time
effect of brewing tribal sentiment in a society.
As it is presently in the news,the situation in Kenya is a clear manifestation
of tribal conflict.
Gambia is a very small country for anyone to start tribalism as a tool to
victimise others.This remind me about the accusation some folks label
against President Jammeh.Here we are argueing and pointing fingers at
one another.Who is right and who is not???What is important here is, we all
GAMBIANS and let us be brothers and sisters and help move Gambia forward.
Let us have the slogan ONE GAMBIA ONE NATION AND ONE PEOPLE.
Tribalism have no place in any civilised society and let us all do away
with the tribal doctrine.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
