Mr. Bojang:

It is intereting to read your post.  I hope you come with the realization that
Jammeh has no desire to listen to anyone who does not sing his praise.  I hope
that you can find within your inner capabilities issues of concern that we
evoke day in and day out.

Continuous downward spiral of the Dalasi, lack of sound fiscal
responsibilities, and the incurrence of instability between The Gambia and her
neighbors should alarm any conscious Gambian that Jammeh is a threat to our
stability.

It is time for this soldier to step down.

Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
