Now the world is watching to see what goodwelling and energitic African leaders whose intentions are to rewrite the name of Africa in capital letters for clear and easy comprehention on what it stands for, such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Senegal together with the co-operates respectively, can do to solve their own problems disregarding the western or foreign interventions as proclaimed in the UN's last week meeting on ways to helping Africa. Personally, I commended the Nigerian government for taking the action to siding the ruling government against the rebels in the Ivory coast and hope many of such will follow suit.

African must start putting itself forward by showing the world we can manage ourselves and build our continent free from corruption, mismanagements, Wars, and lack of rules of law. First and foremost, leaders should be able to communicate and come together to building one voice regardless of foreign interventions to divide them. To be able to conduct free and fair election and stop doing politic based on travel lines but oneness and penalty or force to resign law ought to be  put in place for any politician caught in politicizing through tribal lines. If these are put in place and sign by all heads of states, I am not saying it will stop the wars but could bring kind of limitation to it, hence wars in Africa are caused mostly by the above measures due to the many tribal factions of the continent and the corruption and mismanagement by the leader regarding these symptoms as well as financial mismanagements plays to commanding role.

Secondly African leaders should join their forces together to fight against weapon smuggling which is also a product to rebellions as Britain alone is gaining over 40 million yearly by exporting weapons to Africa not including the share of the American and at the end of the day, they seat and laugh at us and call us trouble zone and all sorts of names. And also to fight co.operatively against these many military pugnacious acts. As i red in one of the posting earlier today send by Mr..Camara that the Nigerians are sending in forces to help the government in Ivory coast. If all African leaders agreed on this means and terms of Helping the Continent and Her people push their spoiled image through and clean, and put them into practicality by showing rebels and greedy selfish leader that the name TROUBLE ZONE they have CREATED for our fine and rich but backwarded continent will not be tolerated. Wishfully changes will pave their way and calmness will soon prevailed.

Lastly thanks to Sidi for keeping us informed on the stranded Gambians and other national's situation in Ivory coast and thanks to the American and the French troops for their helping hands to make this possible, the government back home and the leader's effort is also commended. Hope God will help Africa and Africans to work together to find ways and means to solving their problems and differences as to pave the way to unity and reconstructions of out image in general amen

Better now than ever > cooperation and understanding featuring better Gambia and willingness of her people to commit intellectually
