"The most important information is the numbers for the different ethnic groups in these two regions. The most recent data I can find does not provide numbers for the different ethnic groups(maybe this type of data is not collected!)". Yama i think it will be very difficult to have a correct ethnic statistic without a correct definition of ethnicity in the gambian context .this factor is so important to understand for our people but the least understood. ,hope your search for information will stimulate anobjective intellectual study and discussion into the various aspects of this subject but most importantly the cancer of ethnic opportunism. wish you best results in your work thank you _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
