Saul, Ndey and Ebrima, thank you very much for your contributions on this matter. Ebrima, please thank your source for us for also registering the disgust the decent Gambian folks feel about this matter. Ebrima, am sure you and other young and dynamic Gambians in the UK are highly capable of mounting a vigorous campaign against Yaya and his government. We just have to let the authorities know, in no uncertain terms, that we do not appreciate such types of 'aid'. Ebrima, you can complement your contacts with those of other young Gambians we know that have contacts with some British MPs. Yaya's every action must be attacked. As the High Commissioner in Banjul indicated, this scholarship for Mendy is only a beginning. We should campaign for the British to revoke the scholarship and cease all military cooperation with The Gambia. We should remind the British that just five months ago, this same military massacred innocent children in broad daylight. Up to this day, no one has been punished for that heinous crime. Before the British train our military for regional peacekeeping operations, they should try and ensure that our military is not used by Yaya to brutalize ordinary Gambians.
