Dampha, Jow and Sambou, I think we all are on the same wavelength albeit from different directions. I do not know Chongan or Colly and always feel qualms when I read folks like them. I must admit here that with time, I have come to respect Colly. What these folks did in the Jawara regime will be judged someday. But for now, we have a bigger fish to fry and going after the smaller ones does not help us in any way. I suggest we move on to the bigger fish for we have a lot on our hands. I just came back from the Gambia and whilst there, I made copies of several articles that I passed out to folks who did not even know Gambia L existed. An internet account has been opened for a friend of mine and he has been entrusted with making copies of articles to distribute. Dwelling on acrimonious debates will take away from us significant input from brothers for the same cause. I understand we will not all agree on the same things but I think you all have made your points clear. Time to forge ahead. Our country is being Balkanized.
