Eid Mubarak, The Gambia...

A little word of encouragement is needed even for the most valiant. Where I come from, it is said that no matter how fast your well-bred racing horse is, a little whipping with a riding crop motivates. My point being: to spur on one's government is different from "sycophancy," it motivates; just as being too saucy and condescending is no fair "criticism."

But that's by the way; it's official, tomorrow we celebrate end of Ramadan 2017. From my family and I to you and yours, Eid Mubarak and dewenati!

May all our good deeds be accepted. May the level of self-restraint manifested by us in this Ramadan be adopted. May we be more tolerant and overstanding and more open-minded to ideas. May we continue being brothers' keepers but be able to know when to live and let live, and when to let go. May we cherish rather than abhor our diversity. May Allah increase ours with joy, happiness and prosperity. May He bring peace to all chaotic places of the world. May the sick be healed and all departed souls showered with His Mercy.
