Dear Sidibeh,
Your points are well noted.What came immediately in mind is what I believed
you wanted to say but did no say it very clear,correct me if I am wrong.And
that is the democratic rights that was fought for and won under the new
colonial PPP regime is not only been rolled back but that the situation is
getting worst.This is what I was saying from day one of the coup that this is
how the situation very likely will develop.Now we do not only have the
paramilitary,the case of Sygnle is new,remember the case of Donkey Sillah was
of not such a character.NIA is more aggressive now than the days of
neo-colonial PPP regime.The democratic process that was on before the coup is
being halted,without us getting this clear in our heads many miscalculations
will be done,it must not take us another 30 years to start registering
victories.

Saiks,
Thanks a lot for an important piece. Indeed Koro Ceesay's death was a
tremendous loss to the country and most of us who had had the privilege of
knowing him, would continue to miss him dearly.
Politically, I think, looking at it broadly, KC's loss is a reflection of
the now archaic disunity of the Gambian Left generally, and the linelessness
and peculiar ideological vaccilations of MOJA militants, specifically. Many
comrades seemed to have substituted the military for the working class; and
consequently the revolutionary programme of the AFPRC was believed to be a
feasible liberationist agenda.
When, as you wrote, we finally know "how" KC died, we would be in a position
to discern clearly the forces that enhanced the adoption of reformist
tendencies as opposed to the path toward revolutionary politics.
Your piece is very timely in that we are at this very moment, witnessing the
swift erosion of those rights and freedoms that the July 22 takeover is
supposed not only to guarantee, but the DEFEND!
TO Ndey and Yourself,
The Struggle Continues - For Freedom!
Momodou S. Sidibeh
