Kabir,
Two Danes have been arrested last friday and will spend the next 13 days in
remand for attacking a group of Norwegian fans in the center of Copenhagen
where one of the guests had several fractures of a jaw bone. This was before
the Football match which took place yesterday between the two Scandinavian
countries.

I hope that the authorities in Senegal and The Gambia calm down the tensions
that have been created. Faootbal is just a game and should not be taken as a
war between two sister countries.
