I'm no angel but rather sick and tired of seeing all that is going on in
Africa, caused by those who are fighting for democracy without really
thinking about the real way round to achieve it. Intellectuals might believe
that they are the real rulers of Africa but all they've come up with is
misery. Nobody can save Gambia through G/L, if you really want to save
Gambia you have to be there. I do not think of this place as a place that
can bring some type of save heaven for the Gambia but rather a place to
discuss matters. Have you ever stop to think about the rapid population
decrease occurring in Africa most commonly caused by war, famine, disease
just to mention a few. What I'm trying to say here is violence is not the
way to democracy.
