Sanusi,
This is the civilize way to deal with human beings, or to convince people you
differ with on issues. I have never seen this article you have forwarded,
because i joined the Gambia-L two years ago. This is why i asked you to forward
the Ebou issue for me. I made it clear that Ebou owe us explainations, but my
right as a person who sympathize for him should be respected. But you can see
our unfair folks again, not respecting people views, they automatically ended up
with personal attacks on anybody who differ ideas with them. If some people
believe that i will leave my paradise in Sweden to go and join Yaya Jammeh, then
i am telling them that they are totally lost. God has not yet put that burden
upon me, and i thank HIM for that. I have said here that, i owe no obligation to
the past and present regimes. And i pray to God, not owe an obligation to any
future regime. I am happy to be in the husling field, and thanks for the
protection of the almighty God. I joined the Gambia-L to get fun and make more
friends with our people, but not for any political agenda. I hope my position
will be respected. I am against the Jammeh regime for the wrongs they have
committed and still continue to commit, but if they change their policies, give
justice to the murdered people and refrain from harassing their people, i will
refrain from criticizing them. I have no hatred for anybody, and will continue
to pray to God not to hate my fellow human being. I fully respect all Gambians.
May God bring us peace in the Gambia. Aameen!

Elhajj.
