Folks,

Momodou Sidibeh may be from Kartong, but he sure knows what he is talking
about. Let's continue fighting Jammeh to the end, but we should not allow
ANYONE to rewrite or embellish Jawara's dismal record.  Neither threats nor
sermons would change the facts!

Amadou SJ

"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire,
sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon
must inevitably come to pass" (J. Meyer).
