Sanusi:
Please allow me to intervene in this debabe. Did
you say that the UDP leader used Mandinka throughout
his speech? If that is the case, he had erred.
Communication is vital in any society and should not
be perceive that a language used is understood by
everyone. I hope Mr. Darboe will take this as a
mistake and learn from it.
We as Gambians must understand that tribalism has
no place in our society. It is also unfair to
characterize that the use of Mandinka was tribal in
nature. Please let us grow up. Our major problem
is to unseat the dictator. Our minor differences
will help retain the dictator for five more years.
Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh,MBA
Greensboro, NC/Kombo East Contituency.
