MOMODOU CAMARA AND YOUR MANAGEMENT TEAM!!! I will be short and to the point coz I've only got little space in my chamber of patience. It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of one's mind. You've got to be in possession of yourself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize to this woman. With this said, I send my apologies to Mrs. jahumpah and family. Mrs. Jahumpa on the other hand needs to realize that I/we am/are not about her nonsense. Any stupid remarks reagrding the April events would be met by serious retaliations. It took 1-2 days to arrest 70 people in connection to 1 murder and forever to arrest 1 person in connection to a mass murder. What a paradox. I will now shift my attention to other matters, especially to those addressing the very basic needs for a government; How we live, what kind of people do we want to become, and who do we choose to be our leaders? And of course, deposing the dictator.
