Greetings: To give my buray ak butut to Dr. Saine's questions: 1.>Should Gambia become part of Senegal? No! Gambia should NEVER become a part of Senegal, rather Senegal and Gambia should become part of a new political entity called 'what-the-people-want-to-call-it - 'Senegambia' or otherwise'. Our recent history(i.e. post 1981), has left a bitter taste on the tongues of Gambians that becoming 'absorbed' or 'dominated' by Senegal will not be accepted. Had Jawara followed through with a referendum, as dictated by the existing constitution, who knows what the outcome might have been? Yet, not merging together makes little sense in the face of tremendous political, economic and social challenges. I will amplify on this and on the other questions tomorrow or the day after.
