The bane of a circus is comedy. I am pleased you're taking it all in  stride. 
If birds could speak to us!!!

THANKS  HARUNA.i have taken a couple of pictures although am no expert in 
taking  photos.i am also very careful since the nia syndrome is every were.among 
taxi  drivers,students,every one.but i am careful with my activities.the big 
man is  not as secure as he make it out to be.one funny thing in the gambia 
which make  me laugh all the time is the LOVE OF UNIFORM.you see military uniform 
 ,police,para,custom,and some other funny looking uniforms that i have never  
seen before.the country is a bunch of uniform lovers.i also show the army  
execisng in the middle of the main streets singing SONA MARIAMA .can you  
remember sona mariana song ? .lang tombong himself leading the his men with  old 
folk songs.
our people are very relax.the airport staff are so  greedy ,they wish to make 
every visitor pay for all the small things.i have to  pay more than twenty 
pounds on few cell phones and even text books get charged  by customs.
they rumage through my bags ,i have to get angry before  they realise it is 
my job to empty my suit case .every one is asking for some  thing .
but over all ,politics aside ,the gambia is still a paradise  .i felt 
tranquil and happy .love to every one.

We wish you all the best  suntou and take a bunch of pictures of those 
potholes and more. I thought  that Sukuta road was resurfaced recently? I 
think 
Yahya should get with  MAKharafe and sons or whoever did that work to 
mitigate 
ASAP. Roads  generally should have a life-span of 30 years, or in Gambia 15 
years  
because the contractors cut corners on subgrade material or bitumen  
emulsions 
or concrete strength and re-bars. I understand that if the folk  at works and 
infrastructure don't have a clue what they are buying or  inspect the work of 
contractors, such development is untenable and  unsustainable. Maybe we 
should solicit bids for roads of hay and mud  instead of asphalt and 
concrete. This 
is really shameful. And please don't  blame it on the rains. Ghana and 
senegal experience more extremes of  temperature and precipitation than 
Gambia.

Oh, don't forget to give  Yahya my message. If you're not able to see his 
motorcade, just give it to  baboucarr Jatta for onward transmission.

i am suffering from  heavy cold due to the dusty roads and heat.when i 
arrived in banjul two  weeks ago ,my fear was malaria but then the mosquitos 
are not 
as bad as  they are in raining reasoning.
i visited banjul six times but i couldn't  see yahya's motor cade once.i show 
ousanou darboe opposite islamic bank  and the police head quaters on the 5th 
on nov with modou manneh.the people  are now more and more talking without 
fearing too much from the nia men.i  hear of the arrest of one mr conta from 
sweden last week .i visited radio  gambia to see one staff .
the roads are like being in a planet of not  were.from west field to sukuta 
is all deep holes and cuts every  where.
men things are some how bad.but the gambina spirit of ''leave it to  god '' 
is still  alive.
