Yeap Burama. All the signs are there we just need to organize and organize. Let's get the ball rolling. I think a lot of Gambians have come to terms that we need change and if we don't bring that change through our actions, change will be imposed on us again. Changing a government of any kind which has grip on power is a difficult task... So again, I encourage you to take a lead, let's not wait for someone to lead us, let's call for discussions and actions... currently there is citizens again rallying around a common purpose - mobilizing resources and fight at a position of strength. We need the resources and the organization to get something done... Are you up to a challenge to start organizing now? It is going to take several attempts to get the right forces to take off but as long as we don't stop we can make way... I look forward to joining like minded folks to organize and organize...
