Arms, I think you know the difference between discussing tribalism and
making tribalistic statements.  The larter is what is being addressed here.
I hope we do not adopt the attitude that it's ok as long as it's someone
else's, because each of us can make them when it really comes down to it.
That would be a travesty, thus the appeal for reason.  An injustice to one
group of Gambians is and injustice to all Gambians.
