Morro,
FYI. There is some help too coming from other ends for
those in need of it now. There is a very good Gambian
Lawyer in the washington DC area who is working on
presenting these folks.
I am also taking this opportunity to tell the folks
that there are some willing Gambians going around to
collect any amount that one could contribute towards
their legal battle. So please let us all give if
possible so that those in need of it can be helped. It
is urgent.
May God help us all.

Ousman Jallow Bojang.
