Mr Sanyang, I just hope your questions will be answered honestly. Sometime ago, i asked the same questions but the response i had were 'let us put our personal interest aside and unite against Jammeh'. I find it very difficult understanding some of the postings in this forum. It seems words and phrases have new meanings. I hope the articulate ones will help with educating me further in the English Language. PDOIS's record is impeccable. However, no matter what the truth is, there will always be a spin. In the spirit of truth and justice, i salute you.
