Dr. Jeng to add to that, the representative of the five parties that attended the "Meet the Diaspora Summit", in Atlanta, in 2003, selected Halifa Sallah to co-ordinate the Alliance activities, on the ground. I was one of fifty witnesses in that room, and all are still alive and can challenge this fact. UDP, PPP, NRP, NDAM, and PDOIS were all represented. I believe Yaya Jallow represented the UDP. The other reps were Halifa (PDOIS), OJ (PPP), OUS Mbenga (NDAM), Something (Ex-Military fellow) Swareh (NRP), and Yaya Jallow (UDP). Chi Jaama Joe >From: "Dr. Alhaji S.
