Tombong,
I can't agree more with that. I have heard of a lot of
"umbrella" organizations but have not seen one out
there yet. Anytime one comes with a suggestion like
that, it is that individuals political identity that
is first questioned. So hence we are unable to pass
that stage and tend to be fixed to what divides us
instead of using what divides us as the tool to bring
us together.
It might not be the right time to say this, but the
only time we seem to agree to come together is when
such happens. We talk about it and forget it and life
moves on until the nest problem again.
Happy seasonal greetings to you too and your family.
Ousman Jallow Bojang.

<P>Ous,</P>
<P>Happy Greeting Season to all. This is a serious
issue and I believe it is high time a strong umbrella
organisation of some sort is formed to protect the
interest of Gambia. There should be one in the USA,
one in Scandanavia and then one in every European
country. Numbers are there to support such an
organisation financially. Such an organisation should
be apolitical and I think all Gambians, especially
those in the diaspora are in the same both. Since
September 11th, the immiragration, especially, in the
USA have been cracking down on both legal and illegal
immigrants. </P>
<P>Just two days ago, a Gambian was killed in Sweden.
This and other killings and detentions are enough
reason for such organisation to be form and monies
contributed to help Gambians.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>PEACE</P>

<DIV></DIV>>This is really a very sad situation. I
hope all of it
<DIV></DIV>>comes out for the better. Recently
there has been a
<DIV></DIV>>lot of Gambians into INS issues. I only
hope and pray
<DIV></DIV>>that none of it becomes criminal but
just Immigration
<DIV></DIV>>issues.
<DIV></DIV>>By the way, is there a single group of
people as care
<DIV></DIV>>takers of all these problems in
different states where
<DIV></DIV>>all contributions could possibly be
sent? I think it
<DIV></DIV>>would be a good idea to have one group
so that we
<DIV></DIV>>could all be on the same page. Another
thing I may
<DIV></DIV>>suggest is to try to differentiate the
differences
<DIV></DIV>>between a criminal act and and
Immigation violation.
<DIV></DIV>>This might have already been talked
about here I am
<DIV></DIV>>not sure.
