Ebou Colley,
Thank you very much, for clearing the dust. Although i am very busy, but i cannot ignore your interesting
revelations about the past events. Late Lt. Gibril Saye was a good friend and brother to me, and when i read
your article yesterday, i dreamt about him. I don`t know how these murderers will survive with their families
in a future Gambia. The funiest thing is that they pretend as, if they have not even done anything wrong in
the Gambia. My advise to them is to pack up their families and leave the Gambia, or they might face the
consequence. Even, if they take all the Gambians to Mecca, people will never forgive them these terrible
crimes. I therefore urge them to raise their heads and look at the sun.
Thanks
Elhajj.
