Thanks, Ritchard, for this valuable public service. The struggle to regain Salone from the junta has many dimensions -- diplomatic, political, and military. It also requires the efforts of citizens, not just the elected government, to keep the issues alive. I am pleased that you and your colleagues are doing great things at the political front in the US. The US is one of the most important constituencies that needs to be fully mobilised. Ambassador Hirsch's commments to you and CODISAL are very apt and encouraging:"Go to members of Congress (and) ... continue this line of action because it is effective."
Once again, Thanks, and Good Luck.
