Bro Baba,
Frankly, I believe this is turning into who can get what. I bet this letter
to the Observer and the quote " Long live" is a passport to becoming a
judge. I don't know much about the Bar, but was shocked that they can seat
around comfortably without any effort. I think of Sidney Riley, Bola Caroll,
Surahata, Tambedou, Mendy, and lots of other big names. What happen to all
those... voices... Are they silenced by the dictator? Did the dictator buy
all of them out? What are your thoughts
