https://static.africa-press.net/gambia/2019/09/jawara.jpg696495Sadness fell upon me late August when I heard of the death of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara, former President of The Gambia.The Daily Observer’s article breaking the news in Liberia and narrating the recollections of Kenneth Y Best refreshed my memory of this soft-spoken man who made invaluable contributions to the peace process in Liberia and whose standard of decency and sense of humanity earned for The Gambia the privilege of becoming the home of the African Center for Democracy and Human Rights Studies.
