Haruna,

This was never about me or you. It is about Fatou. I asked that we honor
what she stands for and rally our fellow citizens for a cause she has given
so much for during the last year.  Any apologies should be directed to her
and for turning off many people who stands toe to toe with her in this fight
against injustice. We live in a small world and our challenges cannot be any
greater than what we face as a people and nation.

Moving on for a greater course...

Demba
