Comrades: I want to commend Brother Sambou for the fine jobe he is doing. It is though a struggle that we have collected less than $800.00. Comrades, why are we having problems in sending our donations? How can we seek opposition unity or help fund the oppostion for the presidential election when we cannot even contribute to pay for an air ticket for Hon. Hamat Bah or any member of the opposition to attend our conference? Are we just talking and are reluctant to contribute? We will be making a mockery of our struggle if we can only talk but cannot deliver anything for the opposition. I am appealing to supporters of UDP, NRP and PDOIS to set personal differences aside and join in collaborative efforts to make this fund raising a success. It will be a shame if we fail to contribute substantially for a need to fund the presidential elections slated for October 2001. I again want to appeal to those who have not contributed to send in their donations to Mr. Joe Silence. Your silence is making the dictator smile.
