Hi Independent View Who gave you the licence to speak on behalf of Gambians like this.Charles Sam has caused a real stirr among Gambians of the pen.Did you forget pan-africanism.I learnt somewhere that "When trying to conquer a monster,one must be careful not to become a monster in tthe process".How can Mr. Charles Sam not have the right under the banner of Pan-Africanism to criticise The Gambia? What justifies a revenge on one Ghanaian engulfing the Republic of Ghana.Charles is not the Head of State of Ghana by the way.After all,he used to be a welcome guest in the Gambia.He had such a respectable mind that he got invited to national TV Talkshows and on this occasion on SUNDAY NEWS HOUR;the very epitome of Gambian free press and free speech.I am sure he talked with so much courage because he felt confident that he is in the most democratic country on the African continent.How disappointed he must be that not the politicians but the press itself is not tolerant of free speech.How can the INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER suggest his deportation just because he spoke his mind. Come on Gambians, come on!KEEP SMILING __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
