We highly welcomed Hamat Bah`s attacks on President Jammeh,as being very
genuine.Could somebody make some efforts to get this man on the Gambia-L,
to help us answer some of our questions,just like Halifa Sallah is doing?
I think,it will be a very good idea to get Dr.Saja Taal,Halifa Sallah,Hamat Bah
and
Waa Juwara,on this forum to join our debate.If we are able to get them on the
forum,I would urge all List Members to treat them with respect without insults
or personal attacks.We can get a very nice debate with them,to be able to reach
to some conclusion about our doubts.Comrades,Can we start to work on this?
I would like somebody,to help me with Dr.Taal`s e-mail address,to contact him.
Thanks
Elhadj.
