DEMBA, THE QUESTION IS WHAT CAPACITY IS HALIFA CONDUCTING HIS POLITICS
USING NADD AS A PLATFORM. If you cannot funish us with those asnwers,
then contact the man himself instead digging up a press release which
is not binding. What is Halifa's role in NADD now? The Agenda 2011,
under what premise did he pen it, as a spokesman for NADD or PDOIS or
just an ordinary citizen? This are the issues. Editor Pa asked a
poignant question, if you can go the extra mile, that would be nice,
but it seems your complicit love for PDOIS always gets in your way.
 The AGENDA 2011 or a wayforward will be analyse in due course but for
now, an answer is needed from the NADD or PDOIS camp. This is a simple
issue, but we always try to complicate matters.
Be a journalist and detach for once! especially in your new high
responsible role, all eyes are on you koto Demba, all eyes on You.
I will seize the opportunity to congrajulate you on your appointment
as GPU U.S.A secretary general, may God guide you in the monumental
tasks ahead. Amen
