KB!
I just want the seize the opportunity here to make clear that I was never in
touch with the APRC or any of its agents for a safe passage on arrival in
Banjul. In fact I was warned by family and friends not to make the journey,
warnings I never heeded.
Yes, for me it was time to go to Banjul and I was going no matter what. I had
been away much longer than Katim, nineteen years it would have been last
month and I had made up my mind after the Presidential elections that I was
going. In fact when I arrived in London many who knew me personally thought
I was crazy to be going to Banjul. My response to them was that even if I got
information before boarding my flight that the NIA were waiting for me at the
airport I would go any way!
If by any chance Essa Sey learnt that I was en route to Banjul it was not
through me. I did however make it known here that I was going to Banjul and
many of my enemies in Oslo jubilated behind my back in the belief that I was
doomed. Later I learnt that some had even called Banjul to inquire about my
fate only to learn that I was driving around with a stunningly beautiful bride by
my side.
When I visited Dakar I learnt that Essa Sey left for Taiwan just a day prior to
my arrival there. There, I even learnt that Mr. Sey is in fact related to my wife
but I was never in contact with the man.
My "feeling like a fish out of water" was mainly due to the fact that all around
me people seemed resigned to their fate.
Regards,
Kabir.
