Hello Mr.Collins,
We as Gambians will continue to express our views freely,I think you need to make references on your constitutional rights.As many mentioned to you earlier many members on the L don't pay much attention to the threat you put across.We have the right to express our views on this forum and nobody can make us stop this.Great responses there brothers and sisters our strong commmitment for everlasting peace in The Gambia should not be compromise.Ramadan Mubarak everbody.
Sariang.
