Breaking News:Colonel Sam Sarr Demands to know the true identity of Lamarana
Jallow! Editors call his reaction weak!!!
By Col. Sam Sarr Col. Sam Sarr

Open Letter To Colonel Sam Sarr! Freedom Editors concerned by Lamarana's
damning and………

Dear Editor,

 Is this all a joke? You don't really think I am going to dignify these
funny guy's allegations presented in the name of Lamarana Jallow, do you?
Mixing facts with tales wasn't intelligently done this time. And I just
don't want waste my time with arguing with people I know nothing about,
especially those who appear like clinical nuts. To be frank with you I don't
think any Gambian anywhere at home or abroad claiming to know so much about
me exist in that name. But I would task you with this-if Lamarana Jallow
could be clearly identified by profession, background, address or anything
that can convince me that he actually exist or could be identified by one or
two Gambians I know, then I may perhaps consider a rejoinder to his story.
Otherwise, consider it dismissed as irrelevant to me. The guy writes and
sounds like a clown. Let's laugh over it and carry on.
...................................
Editors note: Mr. Sarr thanks for speaking out. Ours is not to expose our
sources. Unless Lamarana gives us the green light to name him, we are not at
liberty to disclose his identity. Our stance is based on pure journalistic
reasons. As journalists, we are required to protect our sources and not  to
put their lives in jeopardy. What is relevant here is the magnitude of the
allegations brought against you. Period!!! You seem to be very concerned at
this hour about the author's identity.  Who said what and where the
information is coming from. You have good cause to do so, in view of the
writer's anonymity. What bothers many Gambians is the gravity of the
allegations. Putting  the writer's identity aside, it is our firm belief
that allegations of such nature should  not be left unchallenged.

Brother Sam, your terse and scanty piece would only raise more questions
than answers. Please answer to Lamarana's allegations in the interest of
preserving your integrity. Assuming that Lamarana's  piece was inaccurate as
you alluded to, what is the true story then? How would you react to his
torture, persecution, killing and trial by media allegations? How about your
beef with Baboucarr Jatta?

We are according you the opportunity to clear your image as these
allegations are bound to hunt you if not countered. Gambians want to know
the true coin of the story. We are not saying that you are guilty of any
offence. All what we need  to hear is your side of the story. Don't be over
carried by your emotions to ignore such wild accusations.

If you  can  respond to Mathew Jallow, Yero Jallow of the Gainako and one
Sheriff who never signed his full name on the Gainako Newspaper what is
stopping you from  responding  to Lamarana who provided his first and last
name. Sam there is something fishy here. Please allay our fears before
people would pass judgments.

Frankly speaking, Lamarana's identity is irrelevant in this matter. How
comes  Sam Sarr was using the pen name Ebou Colley over the years on the
Gambia L and expect people to take his writings seriously? Are you
insinuating that all what Ebou Colley reported were lies and fabrications?
Where does the credibility issue he is  trying to raise about Lamarana's
true identity stands?  If some people can believe in  Ebou Colley's past
dossiers against Sana Sabally, why not Lamarana Jallow? This is just a mere
observation for the benefit our readers.

Sam should be the last person to question about people's identities as he
had been using pen name over the years. His statement tells a lot about the
type of person he is. From our own understanding, Sarr is saying that
writers with pen name should not be taken seriously? His statement seems to
give credence to Lamarana's allegations that his past pieces were deceptive.
How would Sam defend this?

Finally, Mr.Sarr needs to reevaluate his statement. It's not helping him at
all.  Please defend  Lamarana's allegations. Thanks for your attention.
