Hello Astrid

This is probably a misunderstanding between to good sisters on the same political plattform,and i hope we can all be more pragmatic not confrontational on the G/L for such an issue,We have better things to deal with back home that concerns all of us so rest the case for good.

RESPECT

  Tom,  Lamine Conteh and King Solomon,

  Thanks for your very kind words.  I too was so shocked when I read Isatou's response to my email, that it took me a while to digest her ignorance.  People like her, I choose to ignore because engaging her in a dialogue will be an absolute waste of time and energy.  She's history!

  Best Regards,

  Astrid Christensen/
