Dear Friends, To me Mr.Darboe whatever he may 'policy' is a clear alternative to what we have at hand!So why dont we all join in one united force,first replace Yaya and turn on eachother for results! It may mean to take a backseat for a while but Gambians have enough sense and experience to be fooled the secound time arround.I have a limited personal knowledge of the political scenery but i know the one 'Anakanda' upfront needs to go and the sooner the better! sincerely karl >From: momodou olly-mboge <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Mr. Mboge:Re: Mr Halifa Sallah >Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 15:45:18 GMT > >Mr Jassey-Conteh, > >Thank you very much for the spirit in which you convey your response.
