        that is very fruitful letter that will make the president to think of dailogue rather than war on Gambian people.

        wisdom says its over, but pride says hang on. That is the situation in #Gambia. @Jammeh is towing the way of Al'asad of #Syria.

        This makes Ghana looks like heaven. Mr. Jammeh, please take a lesson or two from Ghana. Being president is not everything.
