OK, MRDGNY, please confirm again that Ousainou Darboe of the UDP was at your
gathering in NY this past weekend or did I miss something somewhere?

 The Movement would like to thank Mr. Halifa Sallah [PDOIS], Mr. Ousainou
 Darboe [UDP], ALD [DC] organizing committee, Mr. Elombeh Brath [Patrice
 Lumumba Coalition], Sister Mwina Kouyate [Women for Justice/Amadou Diallo
 Coalition], Sister Jamila, Brother Pa Samba Jow [Coach], The Gambian Society,
 Brother Karamba Touray [DC] and the 200 Gambian/African/African-American
 crowd, that, endure the six hour plus ALD/Gambia at the Crossroad symposium.
 In the spirit of our ancestors, a critical analysis and approach to
 Africa's/African's [diasporic and homeland] immense and protracted problems
 lies with its so called leaders and pseudo-intellectuals, drunken with
 Eurocentic 'one-size-fits-all' and 'do as we say' and not, 'do as we do,'
 approach to our problems. Such calculated and misdirected approaches, not
 only failed us in the past, but also, failing currently and bound to fail in
 the future, if we do not get our acts together.
 Since the entire program lasted about six hours, mostly between Mr. Darboe,
 Mr. Sallah and the diverse Gambian public, a special report is being prepared
 for G-Ler's to digest, especially on the issues of: Coalition, Human Rights
 and Liberty, 'Socialist' or Capitalist [private-public mode of socioeconomic
 development], Post October Presidential Elections and a whole gamut of
 related issues. Video and audio tapes of the event are being edited and will
 be available as a fundraising premium, all proceeds going to the opposition
 parties.
