Cousin Haruna,

I have a different take on Goodluck Jonathan's visit. May be I am too
overly optimistic but I can see some behind the scenes diplomatic work in
the making on this visit...

I think the issue of Nigeria's willingness to send troops to Cassamance to
help with Macky Sall's policy priority in resolving that issue and of
course Jammeh's opposition to that may be on the table for this visit...

We have an editorial on this ... see http://gainako.com/?p=2454 for more
details...

We could be wrong but it so smells likes hard core diplomatic
negotiations... What do you think?

Thanks

Demba
