Thanks you for your response.
I always believe that there is life after Jawara and
all of us should take note of that.
On that note lets move on for a better Gambia
Come October 2001 Gambia must be free as Yahya must go
Long live Democracy,Freedom and Justice.
Long live the Great People of the Gambia.
Have a pleasant weekend
Sanusi Owens.
