However, i have great respect for his examplary sacrifice and devotion to improve the political, economical and social wellbeing of his people. I just don't agree with the way he thinks certain things needs to be done but if all the Dr.s and graduate Gambians go back home and be like Halifa, Waa Juwara, Single Nyassi and Sidia Jatta, they will make a big difference. I mean a significant difference that will avert the present atrocities of Jammeh's regime to a respectable government of the people. Making America and Euroupe as a sanctuary will hardly help the situation. Although Halifa often sides with the present regime for reasons best known to him, he still deserves a big commendation from all Gambians and support from people who believe in "Halifaism". He is really great! With great esteem for honest interlectuals serving their people in this unpleasant situation.
