Jabou,
I consider it as my patriotic duty to unreservedly second all the thoughts
you expressed in the article, part of which is quoted above.
Just a few weeks ago i asked Gassa an equivalent of the question: How would
he have felt if his own child were among the murdered students of April 10 &
11? but instead he conveniently ignored the question and proceeds to imply
in some of his postings that all the murdered victims of the killer APRC
regime were on their chosen mission to martyr themselves or were on a
suicide expedition as justifications for the killings. Alternatively he
would launch his usual diatribes against the PPP to justify the illegalities
being perpetrated by the clandestine regime in the Gambia of the new
millenium.
GASSA, The ills and mistakes of yester years are nothing but lessons for the
wise inheritors of today and tommorrow BUT will never suffice as
justifications for the ills, mistakes and flagrant abuses of the the present
nor the future.

No yoke of oppression withstands the test of time for someday those who
thrive from injustice must succumb to the aspirations of the oppressed for
FREEDDOM.
