Comrades:

Issues raised by my dear friend Sanusi are valid, but they should be
exchausted at the executive level.  Waa might be right on some assertions, but
his latest criticism of Ousainou was uncalled for.

By publicly naming Bansang as a reason for Mr. Darboe's anger on Hassan
Jallow's firing was totally uncalled for.  I was in tears reading such
regrettable statements coming out of a man that I admire.  I know Jammeh and
his folks are dancing with joy.

For the record Hassan briefly taught me at Saint Augustine's before he went to
law school.  For the record Hassan has always been a big brother to me.  For
the record Hassan had always been interested in my educational development.
But I have a right to defend a man that I know.  I have a right to condemn his
firing.  I also have a right to disagree with Waa's behavior.  His he trying
to wrech the ship?

I hope we can take the middle of the road approach for collectively reasoning.
 I hope Waa does not jump ship and form his own political party.  I hope
Ousainou ignores Waa's regrettable comments.

Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
