OUS,
Thanks a lot for your mail.Well,I don`t want to disregard your defination of
democracy and human rights,but however,It was far better than what we are seeing
today.We got freedom of speeches,The judiciary was Independent,The country
was peaceful,The International Laws were respected,No Human rights abuses
like Abductions,Rapes,Murders,Lawlessness etc........Although,I can agree with
you that they contributed to all these blunders,we are facing today,and that I am
not
putting the blame on Jawara because,he was used and then betrayed by his cohorts.
Ous.we may disagree on some issues but still,we MUST move our boat to defeat the
criminals destroying our beautiful country.
