You do not have to make friends with a good dictionary to understand him! Not only does he share information, but a straight-shooter in announcing its worth! The sadness and sense of helplessness is overwhelming at a personal level, when asked to move on because elections have been carried out and the people have spoken! We wonder: have the people lost their speech on April 10th/11th? What are they saying about those two fateful days, when as a nation we were traumatized by waking up to the rude reality that actually soldiers(our own Gambian brothers and sisters) are trained to kill?
