Grand Sheikh Momodou Sidibeh , Asalamalaikum wa rahmatullah!
With refrence to our Banatba, It's understood that a group has to go through resolving conflicts as part of it's growth process. We are still going through the teething phase. It should soon be the honeymoon, but is it ever that with political discussion groups?
Mauricio Rojas is certainly the beast with the fusk mentality and Nyamko is the Beauty.
At least for now the has re-taken cover in the darkness where he feels most at home, busy licking his wounds and if he ever rears his ugly skull again, he’ll get some more lickings and bruises from us the honourable immigrants who are not like him. It’s time that we took a more active stance in national affairs.
No frontal collision please, just discussion & constructive suggestions as far as sister Sabuni is concerned. In fact I have a several page document/ programme for her.
What you so appropriately term the “de-racialised “Swedish mind ( apart from the neutrals and those who were/ are not racial - excluding you and me - might think that to be truly integrated we have to be success stories like her, and probably have to move to Östermalmstorg on the way to heaven…..
I have heard more about the Kanilai holy juice than your holy and inviolable constitution….which unlike the word of the Almighty , can be amended or even abrogated, or is it forever and ever?
Sir Momodou, are you also subscribed to this IDEA?

sin-cerely,
zinner Cornelius
