Jabou,
Sister Dearest, I could not say it better myself. It
makes me proud to read your letter. It makes me proud
to know that Gambia has such fine female citizens as
your self. For in the wake of the betrayal by Mrs.
Isatou Njie Saidy,a betrayal she layed at the door of
all mothers, and the whole female species in general,
it is nice to witness a daughter of the Gambia display
such concern, love, and intellect. May God bless you,
my sister. And I hope that Mr. Njie does add this to
the petition. Maybe you can E-mail it to him at
[log in to unmask] and ask him to do so. Again
JAARAAMAH, JEREHJEFF, ABAHRAHKAH.
