Dear Makaveli,
I think to make this issue very shot is to make you understand that no one
gives you the liberty to dictate to us what is important and worth
discussing and what is not,it will be too much of Yaya Jammeh.Let me also
get this very clear to you that the ongoing debate on Sharia is of more
importance for me than that there are city majors to meet in the Gambia even
though I might be a signatory to the petition,please concentrate on issue
that are of importance to you and let others to deal with issues important
to them,if we happen to move this way there will be no room for another Yaya
Jammeh.

For Freedom
Saiks
