Ebrima my dear brother,

I hate to tell you this, but expecting such an intelligent exchange from 
these people is expecting the impossible I am sad to say. In all the 
exchanges people on the L have had with these guys, they have failed to 
address the issues and answer pertinent   questions. Why? Because they know 
that this regime is guilty of everything they are accused of, and that there 
is no logical explanation for the things they have done. Their only reason 
d'etre is to stay in power and the means by which they attain this is to 
oppress and suppress, and when they are challenged they start hurling insults 
and throwing around irrelevant gibberish. This is the situation in a 
nutshell, and they will prove this each and every time there is an attempt to 
engage them.
