Uncle Burama, Thank you. Indeed you are right we can only come to a greater understanding by asking hard questions and dealing with them with facts and reality. As I said I have been following you for long time and have read a lot of your writings whenever I could. Through those writings I have come across your ideas as you presented them but would be grateful for you to share them in bullet points once again. I share some of your views and ideas and think that after this engagement we can converge at some point to agree to execute this project of democratization of the Gambia. Thank you in advance.

Matter of fact you had so many of them out there so I was referring to you reconciling the points.. Nyang can do his own research...
