Mr Jaiteh

Thanks for the forward.

I am surprise that a country like Gambia in its
present economic crisis can afford to sponsor 100
GAMBIANS to perform the hajj.

I have a sneaking feeling that this was a donation
from an Arab state which has suddenly fall into the
hands of the APRC hierarchy.

The truth shall one day prevail.
