Demba, I believe this is a great idea. As you rightly said we have to move on. The process for a unification among Gambians should be high on our agenda, that way we can effect practical and meaninful changes. As you said one does not need to be athome to effect changes, so therefore we have to prove that. We have to get interest people and then we can define the grounds on which we are going to unite; the agenda and clearly defined programme. I will also suggest that the process should take a pratical dimension where by we can have Gambians in different fields and occupations organised within this Union, i:e medical, economies, engineers, politicians etc. The format for this can be discussed. I believe interested people will bring their ideas forward. The Struggle Continues!!
