Ebriama,
As I just put it in my last e-mail, we in Banjul celebrate when NAWEC swicth
electricity on. Now you do't think of driking cold water. You don't think of
storing food in the freezers. The welding-man are carrying because no light,
the bussinessmen are crying because no light, the fishermen are crying
because to ice, even the children are crying because they cannot watch MARI
DE LOS ANGLES on TV. And jet still Yaya Jammeh said during his crazy speech
that 'is with him own money that KANILAI is having electricity 24/7.
Some-times, I even think that many Gambian are dying today because of heart
attack. When I think about Jammeh a lot, I become very vex.
His day is coming, May it arrives earlier than we expecting. AMEN.

>>Ebrima,
