Thank you Omar. I sent this message to the list to dispel the rumour, and
prove how ridiculous it was, and I must say that when the individual told me
about this rumour, the idea of any list rivalry never entered  my mind.
Unfortunately, Ebou Jallow's use of the occasion to make that connection has turned this
into something it was not intended to be.I had actually assumed that the
rumour came from the Regime's agents who would rather that we were not here
exposing them.
Infact, i see no reason for those who want to join both lists not to do
so.The idea of ay rivalry is ridiculous.
Omar, I always miss the chance to tell you that I admire your maturity and
wisdom possesed by such a young man. It can only be an asset for our country.
