First and foremost, Hope all is well with George at home and his radio station.
Our prayers are with them.
Secondly , Jimmy Carter's Foundation helps in monitoring elections think only free and fair elections will
solve our problems in Banjul and the rest of Africa..
If the self imposed leaders do not accept the will of the voters then they do to the leaders the same as
they did to Slobodan Molosvich and General Robert Guei recently.
Lastly as Sidi had mentioned in one of his last messages Mr. Alassan Ouattarra was denied to be put on the
ballot by his peers based on just rumors about his nationality ,. therefore a new election free and fair
including all interested parties including General Guei (if he wishes should be) MUST be done asap while an
interim caretaker government with limited executive powers be in charge until the new and legitimate winners
form a new government.
Period
Well , it is easier said than done . The Reality on the ground may be completely out of control and greedy
solders will again seize power in the pretext of helping the county (and their pockets)
