Haruna,

 

I think we did meet at the launching of the STGDP in Atlanta about three years ago. I was there with Joe Sambou and the rest of the folks. Remember that? Or maybe you didn't know I was Galleh. By the way, it's okay to call me Galleh. That's what my most intimate friends call me back home. My Boss Lamin Jatta thinks that he owns all the Fulas but of course it is the other way round.
