Wow, I am still speechless after reading this one!

Modou Camara, I must confess that the Drammehs are trying to beat those who
were going to expose their "chalit/bisallo" yesterday.  When the moon WAS NOT
sighted on Saturday, some Quataris danced with joy because they had one more
day to eat:-)

The Fulas look forward to Ramadan and only time will tell..... let's wait and
see when the "ulcers" and other ailments (that only tend to appear during
Ramadan) will flaire up.

Ramadan Mubarak to all, and may Allah answer all our prayers; bring peace and
unity to all mankind; and strenghten our faith.  Ameen.

Awa Sey
