------------------- Pa Che, first of all, thanks for taking the daring move 
and commentary. I will differ 99% on your last paragraph as misguided and 
untruth. This YDE business was one of the biggest factors that culminated in 
Minister Koro Ceesay's death, Koro knew and understood the implications, such a 
venture with evil-minded, corrupt, misguided, lazy-imbecils at its helm, and in 
violation of basic marketing, economics and developmental values, only Yahya 
Jammeh and AFPRC would benefit from such dangerous move. Koro's worries and 
calculations, proved the theorem [QED], that Gambia's lowest common denominator, 
would be YDE, July 22 Movement and Yahya's immature and defying nature at 
understanding world market and principles. Yahya had this innate and silly hatred 
for any and all successful businessman/woman [especially Lebanese [TariK Musa 
being a JJC]and mandingo elite] dating back to Jawara up until July 21, 1994. Do 
you remember the days when imported rice were ceremoniously dumped by idiotic 
military personnel, supervised by Ali Baaba Jobe and his Gang of thugs? No 
wonder, the rest of quick-thinking business folks, picked up and left for 
greener pastures in Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Mali, etc. Koro was forceful and 
uncompromising on the issues of selective targeting and enforcement of the local 
businesses. Koro could neither comprehend or withstand the impromptu and overnight 
dictates and decisions [DECREES] from AFPRC imbeciles, aimed at almost all 
business folks, especially those dealing with parastatals like Customs, GPMB and 
Gamtel, the bread basket[s] of Gambia's economy. Unfortunately for Koro and 
fortunately for Jammeh, koro's advice were seen counter [AFPRC] revolutionary 
for the idiotic soldiers without cause or pause and had to be eliminated, by 
any means necessary and to teach/warn the rest to be in tow, or else? If you can 
prove to me, "One" successful person or business that benefited from YDE and 
is/are not bankrupt or about to go under, due to all the recent exposure of 
the highest crimes committed by YDE against Gambians, then I stand proven wrong? 
No wonder, the Courts just issued serious warnings at fools trying to shed or 
transfer business or monies from YDE, as aiding and abetting AFPRC/YDE 
criminals.   
In the end, the glorious story of Koro Ceesay and the hatred accorded him by 
self-crowned/promoted Lieutenants and Captains' Edward, Ebou, Yankuba and 
bureaucrats like Baala and Blaise. 
I'll come to the rest of your analogy.
If you could prove to us, one Gambian that benefit [PRODUCTIVELY] from YDE, 
then I stand wrong.
