Karamba, Great Job! Respect to you for coming up with the idea as complimentary to the earlier proposal, and above all for creating the collective spirit of efforts in seeing it through. Unseating Jammeh or making him realize that he is totally off course can come to fruition only when we combine the ideas in our heads with practical work. It is one laborious task; as we tumble over one air pocket after the next in cyber, but hey, at the end of the day success will come knocking! Once again thanx to all for a job well-done: To Laye Bamba and Buharry for honoring the occasion with your beautiful Poetry and Music! To all who found time and sent their 'Voices for Justice to Jammeh' at State House! To Mr. Gassama and the Pro-APRC camp for taking some 'time-out' To Kanteh Bakarry for bringing a smile on our faces during a charged atmosphere with your 'On the ground in England'! And to Dampha for displaying a definitely abundant personality when the time was up! Sanyang.
