Dr. Jeng to add to that, the representative of the five parties that
attended the "Meet the Diaspora Summit", in Atlanta, in 2003, selected
Halifa Sallah to co-ordinate the Alliance activities, on the ground. I was
one of fifty witnesses in that room, and all are still alive and can
challenge this fact. UDP, PPP, NRP, NDAM, and PDOIS were all represented. I
believe Yaya Jallow represented the UDP. The other reps were Halifa
(PDOIS), OJ (PPP), OUS Mbenga (NDAM), Something (Ex-Military fellow) Swareh
(NRP), and Yaya Jallow (UDP).
