Yusupha, what 'unsubstantiated news reports' are you talking about? The
reports from Gambian newspapers that Sedat Jobe banged the phone on the
journalists that were inquiring about Baabaa Jobe's travel 'ban'? For your
information, even before the 'reports' were out, I had always thought and
said that Sedat Jobe was a contemptible person (vermin) and a coward. The
'reports' are just the latest illustration of Sedat Jobe's cowardice. Who in
their right frame of mind will mortgage their souls to the devil (Yaya) the
way Sedat Jobe has? You do not need to hear about Sedat Jobe from anyone in
DC to know that he is  a vermin and a coward.

Talk for yourself about your 'fanatical pursuits'. I am very capable of
distinguishing fact from fiction. I have no reason to doubt the journalists'
account of the despicable way Sedat Jobe treated them. Do you have evidence
to show that that did not happen?
