Deyda always gives credit to the source of his G-l /g-p articles . I can remember that clearly. Deyda is one of the very few trained and seasoned professional journalists in the Gambia and now the only one with over twenty years of experience ( Allen was the other one)
He is also very consistent , practical & well balanced in his current and past opinions or views. In other words he does not dilidali. We hope he does not fall for the intimidation of the young immature boy in the Gambia Army who recently wrote a letter to him and publicly threatened his life.
Deyda we are watching . Be rest assure that your work is needed and highly appreciated . Allah will protect you and may he give you the strength to keep doing your just work.
Wasalaam
