Lasana, I agree with you wholeheartly... what some of these people do not
understand or conviently refuse to acknowledge is that a large population of
the Gambians in New York do not speak English and having all three speakers
speak in one of the languages that will be understood by the majority that
attended the meeting was very appropraite.  Mr. Banna who reported on the
New York Meeting reported that a fellow at the meeting spoke in sarahule so
I am not sure why we are spending time scrutinizig what language someone
spoke in.  We have a bigger enemy to bring down come October, the beast
himself.. Yahya A.J.J. with his many titles.  If one wants to critize the
UDP of been tribalist, just look at the party hierarchy and that speaks
volumes of the party ... we can't be pitting one opposition against the
other because all that creates is room for Yahya to enslave us for the next
five years.  So let's get our act together and get this moron out of there
rather than all of us been acting like political analyst and not offering
solutions. Have a good weekend!
