Dear Omar,
Do you recall advising and sometimes making me completely give up my strategy on the basis that they are hostile or extreme. I do not want to belief that you too have misunderstood my position. All your advice in the past have been very beneficial because it made me learn a lot.
Omar, i have always known you to be on the side of truth. On the L however, i understand why some people find it difficult to speak their mind. The Gambian way is to call everyone uncle, toma,boss, etc, etc. This is difficult for me and this is why sometimes me and you can fall on the opposite sides of the camp. Nonetheless, that has never prevented you and i from talking to each other. Whenever we talk, we talk as if nothing happens between us. This is very healthy. Moreover, your impressive contributions in the Law class was one big factor that impressed people about you. Why are people like me so impressive about you. It is because you argued like a professional, whose vocabulary does not have words like Bastard, idiot and the other fowl words. But these words are common in the L. How do you explain this?
Far from the above, Omar, do not let anybody fool you. Personally, i am not ashame of who i am or what i stand for. Omar, Gambians have every reason to be angry today but fabricating lies does not help. that is my point. Omar, Yaya can be proscuted with ample evidence. There is no need to fabricate lice. Omar, if Yaya was not a citizen as Binneh was close to mentioning, then Jawara was a criminal for hiring non Gambians as his body guards and not the other way round. Omar, if Jawara had behaved as a statesman, there would never have been July 22. Omar, if everyone was honest to tell Jawara to develop the country, there would never have been a coup in Gambia. Omar, i i normally spend some of my off days in military camps brewing attaya. I frequented Fajara because this is where i have a lot of friends. I remember going on night patrols on more than one occasion even though i was not armed, but i never worried about danger. I even don't mine spending the entire on patrol if allowed
Omar, Truth is one thing. if i speak it and eventually become everyone's enemy, obviously i should not be blamed. My stand has always been, we have to purnish Jawara, Jammeh, and their cronies. Jawara, may probably get a lighter punishment. Yaya, on the otherhand, has used his crude and barbaric language to create the likes of Baba Jobe, Singateh, etc. Yaya's language was never a statesman language. six feet deep for example. This made it perfectly legal for his cronies to kill and go free. Omar, i can quarrel with you, but to take a gun and kill, May god forbid! Omar, i can give one example of security brutality leaving to death in Both regimes. Surely you too, know this more than me. I cannot say all i want to. My word processing skill is poor. One final thing Omar, the language of Bastard is an affront to the civilized world. We still have an alien on this planet that is hell bent on using it. When will this stop brother?
God Bless you all.
