Allow me to congratulate your movement in advance of your next meeting.the
agenda of exploring coordination and material support possibilities will
move the general exil protest to a new positive level.
This step will move us nearer to the nerve center of the principle of
PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC FRONT.I wish your next meeting the greatest result.your
position on the important issues stated are of extream impotance in the
process of the anti-dictatorship struggle.
Great works is already to your credit but greater credits awaits your
movement in this aim at coordinating with the best of The concern Gambians.I
appeal to all individuals and groups inside and outside the Gambia to
respond positively to the call for democratic coordination .
This process must not only end with the sweeping away of the dictatorship
but also simultanously create conditions in the process of the struggle that
will ensure that a new dictatorship will not emerge.
