Bro Sheikh,
You are right! I remember discussing with Sillah Bai and late Alh Abu sallah
at our " Mousanteh Banda " at Wellington St. about the sold of his property
to start his business in the early 90s. I also agree with you that he is a
very outspoken person, who has no fear to say the truth. I am not supporting
the APRC, but we should be careful not to personally attack people, without
concrete facts. As you know, I was in Dakar with my family for two months,
without going to Gambia. Infact I made a big " Samba Soho " with Musa Ngum,
Dial Mbaye and Libidorr at the YENGOULENE NIGHT CLUB at Nord Foire. We are
editing the video cassette, so that I can put it in the Libidorr Website. I
will let you know, when it`s ready.

Greetings
Elhadj Tapha.
