Hi Saidy Khan,

It is true when u say that people can have different views especially when
it concerns politics.
People should respect Malify's choice either being pro Jammeh or not.
But IF he is a spy then it is something else.
As far as he (Malafy) wants people to respect his political views then he
should at the same time accept people to say what they mean about gambian
politics without any problem.

Macoub.
