Dr. Saine,

I echo Jobe,Njie, and Sidibeh in commending you for speaking the truth. I do not rescind my earlier criticism of the "faux-preface" you sent in the first few weeks of your sojourn in Gambia. In light of your submission of "The True Story", I accept that preface as premature judgement on your part. I say this because it would appear that since the language and meaning of the preface is so extraneous to the real story, it may have been offered to thank the thugs for according you faux-freedom and to forestall future difficulty in your research phase.

Now, I am one who values strategy. However, when messages of dual-meaning are disseminated in the public domain, the Edi's of this world suffer. There is no telling how confused the man/woman is now to gether with the multitudes of sunsets you may have awe-inspiringly created. That golden strand of furious fire to be rejuvenated by the serene and suffoccating beauty of cosmic cleansing. I would rather suffer the wrath of the NonIA and say the truth at whatever stage of my life, than to mislead the public. I will however hold strategy sessions with an adhoc group of individuals and not thrust it on an unsuspecting public.

I salute your vision to conduct this evaluation and I applaud the result in the form of a report. My words, including any vulgarity or insolence, are as good as my core being and you can take them to the bank. Neanmoins, you are an asset to Gambia and may God keep you forever in his warm embrace. 

Les plus importants transformations sont les modifications "accidentelles".
Yours truly - Haruna.

Hello Dr.Saine,
Your analysis of the situation back home is perfect and you deserve to be commended for speaking your mind.As Lekbi put it " you called a spade a spade" You told us the good and the bad about our beloved country.I respect you for that and I hope all of us will try to emulate your ojectivity. By the way,we missed you last week at the ALD symposium. It was nice but as usual,few people attended the event.
Weyeh.
