Galleh, this is a current discussion topic on www.Gambia.dk. it is started by a pdois supporter who wish to make some capital out that episoud. Of course, many other analyst and observers got it wrong with the young soldeirs. this may have been due to the PPP long stay in power and the need for change. I wouldn't go as far as classify an academic exchange as a victory for the other expressing opposing views. It may not be as clear cut as that. Your humility is acknowledged and respected.
The topic wasn't digged, it is active.
