AlanMbooj,

It is great to hear from you for such a long time. I do agree with you cause
the likes of Baba Jobe makes me really sick. To make matters worse is that
he confused his role as the CHairman of July 22nd Movement and Leader of a
thugery gang. THe July 22nd Movement under the leaders of Baba Jobe cannot
and will never be a movemen for the Gambian people apart from oppressing and
suppressing them.

The Struggle Continues!!!
