Thank you Abdoul,

It broke my heart when I heard about it too. Like you
said, some of them have families both here and at
home. These families have to depend on them, and for
this to happen around this day of eid, when they
should be with their families makes it even worst.

All we have to do is pray for them and hope everything
is alright with them and their families. I know it
will be a difficult time for the wives, kids and
family members, but that's why we have a Gambian
community here in Atlanta. We should come together
during these sad times and help and not ignore.

I hope Allah helps and Protect them

Gibby.
