T0 Malik Kah,
Since I was subcribed,I have read almost every posting in the archives and
recently everything written about this unconditional offer to Sir Dawda
Jawara and the rumours of his acceptance which is beyond my comprehension
but what I read today in your posting in response to ngorr about PDOIS, is
the thruthful remark beyond refute. Since jammeh came to power, Gambians
lost what we used to know as "GORR" except those two and the rest who left
the country for different reasons. I know you've been a supporter since
inception but truth is truth and nothing more, keep it up.
