Howdy,

I thought someone on the list said earlier that Jammeh had a stopover in
Senegal and now it appears he is in G. Bissau as suggested above.  Is this
part of his game plan to avoid the problem while tensions are at their
peak or is he really saying (not in words but by deed) that the lives lost
did not concern him?  What happen to responsibility, accountability
and transparency as he claimed he was going to bring to government?  This
is really really really sad.  ...very sad indeed.  We are the most
unfortunate people in the world today to have Jammeh as our
president.  There is none out there like him.

At the moment, the future of our country is looking very bleak, desolate
and disheartening to say the least.  However, we must not give up the
fight.  The students have showed us what it really takes to make a
difference.  I hope, even for once, that we did not forget the fight they
put forth to bring about a collective national voice calling for a
change.  These students, dead or alive, are true heroes (an ordinary
people doing an incredible act to affect thousands, if not millions of
people).   We have to keep the flame burning and build on the momentum
already generated.   On that note, I submit my name to be put on any and
every mail edited to be sent to the authorities in the Gambia or any where
else deemed necessary to bring about change in the Gambia.  I will also
send my contribution to Karamba and party over in the East to help the
victims and their families in this most unfortunate hard time.  You are
all encouraged to pitch in how ever much you can to this worthy
cause.  After all, this is nothing compared to what our brothers and
sisters had to pay (their lives, unfortunately).
