Dr. Jaiteh
It’s still our homeland.
No argument of the the list of problems.
Care is not enough though! Today we should do a self-assessment of what is our own contribution to address each of these problems. Was/Is that contribution enough? What-else can I do to help.
We have created all these problems and we have to fix them…….
Hopefully a pride to be Gambian maybe a source of encouragement/inspiration. I can’t be convince because of issues/problems we can’t celebrate nationhood.
Thanks though!
