Ansumana,
You are really mad! How can you describe Halifa as "dry intellectual"?
Exercising your freedom of expression as a concerned citizen does not mean
engaging in vexation and stupid polemics. Halifa is an authoritative
writer. He relies on facts and does not take you on a journey round thwe
galaxy as you wrongly asumed. May be you are a fan of the tabloids that do
not borther do backgroung research before publishing stories.
I say shot up your mouth. If you cannot respect Halifa Sallah and Foroyaa or
PDOIS keep your dirty mouth shot!
Your borther,
M. Muhammed Tage Susso
