Mr Essa Sey,
I am one of those who knew you from Armitage. I think you are a decent human
being and I have a great deal of respect for you. 

My question to you is this: Do you know EXACTLY what happened in Banjul? If
you do, it is your job as our ambassador to inform all concerned Gambians. If
you do not, then how can you be sure that "there is no one amongst us serving
under Jammeh and Jammeh himself who would be so irresponsible to order the
massacre of students". Who ordered the shootings?

Did someone else (not serving under Jammeh) order the shootings? 
If the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and his subordinates do not have
control over the decision to shoot at unarmed civilians, then something is
terribly wrong in our country. If we buy you arguments, then this is what we
have to believe.

I agree with you that there have sometimes been undue negativity about your
govt. on this forum. However, this is one occasion when EVERY Gambian must cry
foul UNEQUIVOCALLY!

I assure you that you (at least as an individual) have a lot of respect on
this forum.

Finally, on your words of wisdom that 
Quote
"la justice et la vitesse ne font pas paire" ie:justice and speed cannot make
a good pair.
Unquote

I leave you with this: "justice delayed is justice denied" think about it!

I hope you reconsider your reaction in this moment of grief. You will need all
the diplomatic skills you can muster.

Best regards.
Modou.

However, my feeling is that some of you are over reacting and base your
feelings on subjectivity.I want to put it you personallly that there is no one
amongst us serving under Jammeh and Jammeh himself who would be so
irresponsible to order the massacre of students.THATS TOTALLY FALLACIOUS AND
BOGUS FOR YOU OR ANYONE TO SAY ON THIS FORUM!

who lost their lives are closely related to people working under Jammeh.Some
are related to Jammeh himself. Did you know that?

you are always on this L as "so-called-immaculate saints".Which i feel is
totally false.

as wicked as you people are portraying  no! no! no! no! no! That is not TRUE!

all i ammmm related to some of those students more than all of you do and i
know that no one in the current Gvt.will cheer any soldier for shooting
students.Yahya Jammeh is mourning like all of us.
