Conteh and Elhajj, am only responding to your irresponsible speculation
because you had the audacity to post such inflammatory statements on G_L. I
do NOT know either of you, but I do NOT go around speculating that you are
Yaya and Yankuba Touray, respectively pretending to be Conteh and Elhajj.
Conteh, you might be experiencing extreme frustration dealing with me, but
that is no excuse for libeling innocent people. I hope you quit this
nonsense and try and find ways of helping your mentor (SM Dibba) win votes
in the coming elections.
