Sister Jabou:

It is indeed unfortunate the way things turned out.  May I
request that you accept this unfortunate outcome because
I am convinced with reasonableness that the person will
repeat the same thing over and over again!

You have shown your integrity and respect on the L.  I
almost shed tears when I read those insults.  My God,
where is our sanity?

I hope Hon Halifa Sallah is still on the L.  This clearly will
depict to him that certain people on the L have no respect
for their elders.  How can you trust such people to speak
for the opposition?

Please hold your head up and continue with the struggle.

Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh

Momodou Camara,

What  is even more unfortunate is the decision of the list managers who voted
against delisting Joe Sambou because they clearly had an agenda that was not
based on the rules. However, that does not surprise me at all. It simply
reflects the negative tendencies in some of us.
Rest assured I will continue with my struggle for a better Gambia especially
because  this eye opening experience emphasizes the need to do exactly that.
