Ro, not at all.  You and Nancy are within your rights to hold an opinion.  I
wrote about Amadou and not Rodine or Nancy, there is a difference.  Ro, if
you happen to do well in Gambia today, by all means enjoy.  However, when
the newspapers in the Gambia write about the conditions in that country,
they are not portray the face of Rodine, but the suffering masses.  Also,
when folks lament about basic survival, they are talking about their real
life struggles to just exist.  That is what we are addressing and if we are
dreaming, then we must be in good company, for the overwhelming majority in
that country are saying the same things.  I will elaborate more after
reading Nancy.

Good to hear from you.

Chi Jaama

Joe Sambou
