Well done Bakary.Or shall i say TERVE.

Its' interesting to read your victory for the city council seat in Lappeenranta,Finland.
As africans living in the western world specially scandinavia is the first time to my 
knowlegge a Gambian elected for a council seat in any of this five northern countries,
So as others commented is time for you to setup a good example for your brothers/sisters 
in Finland,And be skilled with the issues confronting our people in the country that 
means you should never be afraid to speak out for equal rights and justice,Thats' all democracy
is about.Best wishes and keep up the good work.
