Dampha, if you are losing your mind, I am not. If you want concrete figure all you have to do is ask. If I don't have the figures, I will always try to find out. Failing that, I will tell you that I do not have the figures. As simple as that! Check out the following link and you will find out that I posted the result of a study carried out by the UNFAO and Norwegian government concerning our fisheries resources and its exploitation. This information was posted on the L on the 29th April 2001.

How pathetic can you be? The above I quoted from your piece says it all. Others may have missed it but I, for one, have always known that you don't give a damn about our poor farmers. You don't give a damn about the massacre of our school children some as "young as three". You don't give a damn about anybody who has ever been "illegally abdubted or incarcerated". You can never convince me that you give a damn about anybody but yourself. As I have told you before, you may whimper, whine and writhe all you want but we are NOT going back to pre-1994. Whatever you've lost as a result of the 1994 coupe is gone for good. The first republic is DEAD, LONG LIVE THE SECOND.

I have noticed how you are trying to intimidate Dr. Saine so that he keeps his mouth shut about developments taking place here but just ignored you. I won't comment on anything about his introductory remarks but, like you, I am also waiting for his final report.

Until then, have a good day, Gassa.
