Folks, I must admit that even though, I take most of the talks and words of African presidents with a grain of salt, Matre Wade is thinking big about the development/progress of Senegal in particular, and Africa in general. His views on/about the development and harnishing of agriculture and human resource are laudable. In addition, his government's proposed curtailing of the World Bank/IMF and other Bretton Woods Institutions' roles is a step in the right direction. I wish him good luck in this drive, hard as it may be. God bless Africa. OB Silla. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
