Dear Sir, Since we are all from Africa we all owe her some action. Have you in your spare time written to Mr. Anaan giving him some constructive suggestions as to how Africa can be better helped? I'm almost sure that with all his flaws so eloquently weighted by you,he must have some symptoms of compassion.He is a very busy man needless to say. He is a man of character in my opion, but he cannot twist Africa from her well defined course without the contribution of Africans in which community we seem to be identifying with.. Secondly Africa cannot be addressed in isolation her needs must be seen in a global context! Thanx for your relentless work! >From: Yusupha Jow <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: ANNAN (ATTN HARUNA) >Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 11:16:23 EDT > >MR Farage. >You obviously have not followed this discussion leading me to believe that >you have a partial view to this whole discourse Ebou, Jabou and myself have >hade.
