Hello Members of the L,
I was shocked and dismayed to see someone impersonated me and wrote the
message below. Not that I do not subscribe to some of the sentiments
expressed, but I wish to inform everyone that this never originated from me.
I suspect that someone somewhere is deliberately trying to get at me.
I wish to assure everyone that I have no fear of writing whatever I want to
write about, and this I do everyday in the local papers. Therefore, I
strongly object to anyone using my name to write what he/she wrote. I
however have confidence in the ability of the List Members to judge things
in their right perspective.
Thank you all for the understanding.
Demba Jawo
