Comrades: The latest news on stranded Gambian pilgrims is disturbing. The proprietor of Globe Travel Agency should be sued to the last penny. Pa N'jie and his company have failed and must compensate these pilgrims for mental anquish. I vividly remember some three years ago when my mother complaint about the terrible services that Globe Travel rendered to its customers in Mecca. I chose Globe because I was impressed with Pa N'jie's desire to succeed as an entrepreneur. Pa, from a prudent business point of view, you should willingly compensate your stranded customers. On another note it seems any credible government would charter a plane to Saudi Arabia and bring its citizens back to The Gambia. A credible government then should bill Pa N'jie and Globe for the entire costs. It is a shame for the dictator to fly around like a circus, but cannot aid Gambians in such a needed time. The monarchy in Saudi Arabia also is bent on making money. What is the significance of Hajj to Moslems? Is Saudi Arabia using the Hajj as a business model? I thought Islam preaches submission and love. My feeling is that the old mighty dollar is more important than reaching out to fellow Moslems.
