Abdul, if one is sincere, one would not be afraid to ask the genuine
questions on the minds of many Gambians. We cannot afford to be partial
with the truth and the truth alone shall set us free. Your group had
invited Essa to Atlanta to represent Yaya, at the last Conference and I'm
sure you had built a rapport with him on a personal level. Yet, you are
able to put that aside and ask something of Essa that is of national
importance to all Gambians. This is the first step to liberating Gambia and
ourselves - call it like you see it without fear or favor.
