Aisah,
This  your "Congo"man could really enjoy Africa,it is much more to say that
he did not want to leave the comfort of Europe.Yes you have been monitoring
the G/l and all you have been reading is  a cry  for unrest in the
Gambia,are you Angel Aisha-come save Gambia through G/L,welcome Angel.But as
you know it was not the people in the G/L who were responsible for April
10,this event was as a result of the fascist rule in our country,you did not
even read here to know what some of the contributors in this forum have been
doing to help the victims of  April 10th or it does not interest you ?check
the mails from sisters Sigga and do you your calculations again,we better
talk now before it is too late,before another April 10,before another
Congo.How can people just demand that we should be passive onlookers to the
detonating condition in our dear land?Do you need to use your energy to call
on us for peace ?are we the people shooting at defenceless students ? are we
detaining people for months without given them the chance to let their case
be heard ? are we the founders of July 22 movement,did we set any radio
station on fire ?
And then my dear Aisha wrote;
"....all the messages I have been getting from here is,if I sum it up it
would be a cry for political-cultural-and tribal unrest in the Gambia.I
might be wrong but sorry this is what I can summarize from here..."

You cant just accuse us with such serious charges and then apologise for it,
such activities do qualify for  treason charges.Did you read here that Dr
Saine have been asking Katim to cut the heads of  people like Karamba
because they belong to another tribe.With all the literary works,with all
the fine political analysis and debate,with all the personal
communications,with all the books from GESO to Gambian students,with all the
infor on jobs and scholarship in this forum,all that you can "sum
up.....from here" is civil unrest,you must be a very bad matamatician Your
treason charges against us is no call for peace but a threat to peace.

For Freedom
Saiks
