[Nyangkwe Agien Aaron]

Mawaki and stephane

can you pople be very down to earth? You being too technical in your
pronouncements. I want to write an article for the local audience on
this achievement by our friend in Senegal.
What does the whole process entails, who is gaining what for which outcome?.
On a deeper note whic is the other African country to have that process
and why according to you is Africa trailing behind?

Gentlemen, you will be credited for your input.

Warmly

Aaron
