     because we are in the throes of the trials of the Genocide
     perpetrators of Rwanda.It is as though I have myself died, truly.Iwill
     miss my good elder Brother; Pls pass this message to all friends and
     family. I shall get back to you.My my Brother's soul rest in pererct
     peace. I shall always be there for the children and the old woman.
     Love Ebou Khan.

Thanks for posting this Sheikh. Ebou was a close friend of many years, and I
am still trying to digest this news.
I have spoken with the family, but would like to again  offer my heartfelt
condolences to Ya Marie Jallow and the rest of the Jallow family,  to Ndey
and Awa Jobarteh, Yama Lowe and the rest of Ebou's siblings, as well as his
children Kebba & Dawda who I understand are on their way to Gambia for the
funeral. I surely will miss Ebou Jobarteh's freindship, as will a lot of
other people.

He started working for the U.N right after graduation from Princeton
University, and had a long career that ended  with his retirement just a
couple of years ago when he went home to Gambia. He loved and enjoyed his
work  and was well respected by his colleagues at the U.N.
My condolences also to Ebou Khan his good buddy.
May Allah have mercy and grant him a place in his Jannah.
