It would appear that the Ran Hotel in Bouake where the Gambian National team and the national teams of other nations were staying have been vacated. The telephone switch board remains unanswered since this morning suggesting that the Hotel has been vacated. Since both French and American troops are in the vicinity, according to reports, the possibility exists that the teams have been moved from the Hotel to a safe area prior to evacuation. The situation will continue to be monitored. Thanks to all those who called team members yesterday particulaly Ndey Jobarteh of Accra, Ghana who spoke to at least one of them.
