MOMODOU CAMARA AND YOUR MANAGEMENT TEAM!!!

I will be short and to the point coz I've only got little space in my
chamber of patience.  It takes a great deal of character strength to
apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of one's mind. You've
got to be in possession of yourself and have a deep sense of security in
fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize to this
woman. With this said, I send my apologies to Mrs. jahumpah and family.

Mrs. Jahumpa on the other hand needs to realize that I/we am/are not about
her nonsense.  Any stupid remarks reagrding the April events would be met by
serious retaliations.  It took 1-2 days to arrest 70 people in connection to
1 murder and forever to arrest 1 person in connection to a mass murder.
What a paradox.

I will now shift my attention to other matters, especially to those
addressing the very basic needs for a government; How we live, what kind of
people do we want to become, and who do we choose to be our leaders?  And of
course, deposing the dictator.
