Brother Suntou,

I think I recognize your voice. And yes, I am still practicing journalism as 
you enquired the other day. You make some very revealing and awakening 
comments on this issue of FGM. Thanks for sharing these enlightening 
thoughts. You are really invoking some interesting concepts here. I admire 
your sharp insight. Great job.

Baba
