I have been a follower and reader to all articles sends on the list, Concerning our dear brother and friend Halifa as much as the recent UDP Issue. Sometime it goes out of hand due to misunderstandings or should I say, refusals to accept the fact that we are to agree and disagree. Firstly,allow me to extend my great pleasure to Mr Sallah for his devotion and acceptance to exchange ideas with us on the list.consiquently,we ought to agree his efforts as a good gesture and commitment towards the development of our Motherland. Halifa has proved himself to becoming the choice of the youth and the Gambians outside, because he is the only politician we can explore our anger to. I really do not blame him if he sometime take things seriously. This is because of the pressure on him. On the other hand,It is what it takes to become a good leader (acceptance, devotions, rational and of course radical in some point). In the case of the United democratic party (UDP), I for one, do not think it matters what they do in their private live, what matters to my side is their capability to turn the around for the benefit of all citizen. I have also realised the fact that their presence in the Gambia politic, have a great impact to the life of the country since their dismay on the government policies are displayed to the general public like we are doing to Mr Sallah on the list.Generally Speaking, these two parties stood at a very vocal points to the Gambia and Gambians in their respective ways.Therefore, they deserves respects in anyway, if democracy is all what we are agreeing and disagreeing.From my side, THANK YOU MR SALLAH AND ALSO THE UDP PARTY. __________________________________________________________________ EDI LK SIDIBEH NAAKANTIE 2C9 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS & ADMINISTRATION 48320 KOTKA KYMENLAAKSO POLYTECHNIQUE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: PEACETO EVERYONE ON EARTH.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
