Mr Ebou colly
I really find your ideas informative and educative. I just want to mention
that it has been highly rumoured that you are not really ebou colly. If so
WHY should you hide your identity?

>There are certain things that I am sure he would now

>if Mr. Secka for a moment tries to confirm the
>undeniable fact that there were no rubber-bullet guns

>compromise his integrity shall never sway me,

>Samuel Doe went down with a lot of them as well, not

>Apart from depending on his new Minister of Justice to

>But I want to remind him how those foolish things

>Farafenni attack for example on the 8th of November
>1996, he instructed his former guard commander
>Lieutenant Landing Sanneh to carry out one of the most
>primitive rituals in the barracks. State guard
>personnel were sent to bury several bags of ordinary
>salt everywhere in the camp. This could be confirmed
>with those soldiers serving at 2Infantry Battalion,
>Farafenni barracks. When we asked Yaya why, he said he
>was advised by his juju-man to do so which would be
>the final guarantee that no army camp would ever be
>attacked by surprise again. Eight months after, on the
>21st of July 1997, Kartong was attacked in the most
>surprising manner ever imagined. When we met him
>after, the idiot had totally forgotten about the
>previous year’s rituals and had to tell us that he had
>dreamt about the Kartong attack weeks ago but that he
>had performed stronger rituals that made it a failure.

>In that same year in 1997, he almost died from another

>Kaninlai village. Captain L. T. Tamba was there and
>was a live witness to that embarrassing incident. Yaya
>trying to mystify himself before us told everybody

>things with his ancestral bees. He even warned us that
>if we followed him under the tree, the bees could
>sting us and that would mean death to any one stung.
>So we stayed away from a reasonable distance watching.
>However, shortly after he stated acting as if he was
>talking to the bees buzzing around their hives on the
>branches, the insects suddenly attacked and almost
>killed him while he ran all over the dusty bushes. If

>had to later send an old haggard-looking woman from
>the village to tell us that the bees attacked Yaya
>because they were upset with him for not greeting them
>when he first arrived in the village that morning.
>This is not a joke Gambians; this is the real

>Turning to the soldiers now, it is important for you
