Howdy,
saul, thank you for your piece to Malafy regarding Malian women.
You know, when you think some people are smart, that is when they start to
do really stupid stuff. Malafy, MR. SOFTWARE ENGINEER, what is wrong with
your head? In case you did not know, there is what is called "college
degree". And then there is what is called "common sense". Your
professors may not have imparted or divulged much of the latter on to you,
that is, if you really went to college. Any way, I am
going to take a minute to bless you a little bit of ...well, let's say
"wisdom" and I recommend you take heed.
Malafy, I am sorry about the perspective of some Malian women on
life. What they are doing is unfortunate and insulting to their own
intelligence and I wish they would stop. However, Malafy, when push comes
to shove, I do not give a rat's tail abut what is going on in Mali. It is
these people's God's given right to make that conscious decision. At this
point, apart from Gambia, I am a little bit more concern about events
unfolding in Zimbabwe, where the violence could potentially escalate into
genocide.
Now my really problem with your piece is your conscious and deliberate
effort to divert attention from events in the Gambia. You are one of
the strongest Jammeh supporters on the list and since the incident I did
not hear you condemn the killings. That begs the question: DO YOU
REALLY CARE? I bet if you brother was one of the victims, you would
have long been all over these people. And now this. It is about time
you go with your heart and not your brain. Oops, you may not have
either. In the mean time, If you cannot stomach the barrage of comments
inundating your boss, then you might consider your subscription. Go ahead
and delist from the list. Otherwise, put up or shut up.
Jabou, thank you for your piece to the authorities in Senegal. It is
beautifully and elegantly written. And for the title, I just like to say
it is very fitting. Folks, there is no room for complacence and
apathy. We have a long road ahead (...hope not). There is no looking
back. We have to tighten our belts to the last hole and match forward.
The students that were killed in this incident are real heroes. They are
the Martin L King JRs of our time. And those that survive, some of whom
are still in custody and some in exile (so to speak), are the Nelson
Mandelas of our time. And then there is the rest of us. We have all the
time and resources in the world to decide our own faith, unlike the
deceased. Destiny is own our side. We have every opportunity to define
and redefine history in the Gambia, to steer the natural cause of events
how ever we see fit, to... you know the rest. However, we can only do the
above if we put our heads together.
Bass, thank you. What is going on in Atlanta? I like to go to the event
this July for the first time but only if there is one
celebration. Gambia in size and Gambians as a group are too small for
that kind of stuff. Besides, united we stand and divided we fall.
Karamba, please touch base with me in private. I like to have your
address. I may have missed it.
I will split for now,
Dawda Singhateh
