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!
