Hello Jabou!

Thank you for speaking my mind like I could never do it myself. Just about
two hours ago I was talking to a man from Sierra-Leon whom I met at a
friend's house about what Gambians worldwide are doing about the brutal
massacre of April 10th.

The conversation somehow drifted to the situation in Sierra-Leon. The man
literally BEGGED me not to support any actions that are geared towards
granting amnesty to the "rebels" in Sierra-Leon. These criminals should be
punished for the crimes they've committed and continue to commit against
defenceless people. They must account for their barbaric deeds, from the
murder of Koro Ceesay, and all those other BLACK COFFEEs, to the murder of
those young fruits of the Land!

These murderers must confess to their crimes and be punished even if we have
to try them in absentia. The Gambia as a nation should NEVER give the
pursuit of Justice for those Flowers of our Nation. By bringing these
criminals to justice we'll at the same time be saying loud and clear:
"Never Again!"

Regards.

Kabir.
