EBRIMA:

I think  DR. KATIM TOURAY'S Proposal of signing onto a COLLECTIVE PETITION
LETTER to the AMBASSADOR is a brilliant idea. This is the kind of collective
and coordinated efforts that used to bear fruit, tremendously. This kind of
SISTER JABOU-GEORGE SARR-EBRIMA CEESAY concerted and coordinated coalition
efforts was always a heavy arsenal in striking at out target with solid fire
power and pinpointed accuracy. Frankly, Ebrima, we badly need more of this
collective efforts to be added on the STEALTH FIGHTER PLANES of KB and
COLLY. In this way, we will completely "cesspooled" the horrible PIZZA and
MBAHAAL smells and garbage of the KEBBA JOKES, period.

This was why I had no other choice, but to publicly swung against my very
good friend and body, Ebrima, in order for him to resume his "My Usual
Messages to All Gambians", and also his SISTER JABOU-GEORGE SARR-EBRIMA
CEESAY coordinated efforts. Because of lack of such a coordinated efforts,
we could not coordinate an exerted efforts against REP. FORD in our attempt
to discourage that very Conference from taking place in Banjul, as we did in
the STOVALL case. To that end, Ebrima, I think DR. TOURAY'S Proposal of a
collective petition is a paramount idea. God Bless.

Ansumana.
