Elhajj, you are one ignorant person.  Keep foaming, the more you talk, the
more folks know who you are.  Like I said before, when it comes to
tribalism, you are no different from Yaya with your ignorance.  You can
carry on with your few backers, but folks would just relegate you for what
you are.  Keep up the ignorance.
