Comrade,
You need not cry, neither to be sick. Leave them to fry each other! It
reminds me about William Shakespeare
             " The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the
gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.
                It is twice blest. It blesseth him that gives and him that
takes. T`is mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes
                The throned monarch better than his crown. His scepter shows
the force of temporal power, The attribute
                 to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of
kings. But mercy is above this sceptered sway;
                 It is enthroned in the hearts of kings; It is an attribute
of God himself; And earthly power doth then show like
                 God`s When mercy seasons justice. "

The ghosts of our innocent brothers are hunting them both day and night.
Yaya will sacrifies all of them to the Gambians, and then run away
to either Morroco or Guinea. The unlucky ones will be eaten by his hungry
lions at Kanilai.

Elhadj Tapha.
