The President did not go to any other country after he left Cuba Saturday
night. The President travelled to Cuba with President Koumba Yalla and
President Yalla addressed the G77 meeting on Friday April 15. They left Cuba
together last night and were to arrive this morning, 7:00 AM. However, the
pilot gained time and they arrived earlier than expected.
As a matter of fact both Presidents are currently in The Gambia and
President Koumba Yalla is schedule to depart at 11:00 AM for Guinea Bissau.
PEACE
