Gassa, You continue to show how much of a coward you are, especially when you are intellectually cornered with facts about the deteriorating state of the Gambia. Not only that i'm beginning to take the view that you have the moral fibre of a water melon. My response to your post exhibited empirical evidence - evidence from your own gov't's Budget speeches - that the lot of the average Gambian is in dire straits despite the fact that this roguish gov't has been borrowing heavily in the name of "development efforts". To solve the conundrum, i posed the question: <<The question for you, if you have the capacity to answer it - i doubt you do; given the complex nature of the question - is why after all the so-called sprouting of infrastructural projects all over the country, the alarming increase of our debt portfolio, the average Gambian's lot has been decimated in real terms? And why the legion of those subsisting below the poverty line has jumped 9% despite the sprouting of all these "projects" that you claim are signs of "developments" taking place in the Gambia?>> Instead of trying your luck at solving the conundrum, you promise to send us reports of "developments" happening inside the Gambia... can anyone be as dodgy and dishonest as you in your attempts to cover the ugly truths that is the stuff of the average Gambian??????????? Your continued silence on this conundrum should be taken to mean that you accept that the average Gambian lives in "abject poverty" - to borrow an apt phrase from you. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
