Ginny, I read your articles and they are excellent.Keep up the good work. You are not Gambian but you are African despite the fact that you were born in the diaspora.The struggle is ours and it most continue .Remember it was our ancestors who were sold into slavery qualifying all people of African decent to be part of the struggle not only to free Gambia but the continent as a whole.

Below are links to two more articles I have just posted. Please read and enjoy! Reflections on the Smiling Coast Part 12 http://www.themestream.com/articles/151354.html Reflections on the Smiling Coast Part 13 http://www.themestream.com/articles/151358.html Please note! The first article deals with I and my group's meeting with President Jammeh. I am in no way endorsing his regime in any way. At the time of my trip, II knew little about him. In writing this piece, I wanted to communicate the feelings I had while I was in The Gambia, and that was all I wanted to do. I just wanted to make that clear. As I have said before, I have chosen to observe rather than get involved in Gambian politics, simply because I am not a Gambian, and thus, I believe that I may not really understand the political situation there. Maybe this is wrong on my account, but I feel for me this is the best course to take because I do not want to get invovled in something that is none of my business, I think. Thanks, I just wanted to make myself clear on this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
