Mr Sidibeh,
    With all due respect some jobs are just not worth the "dough". If someone willingly
serves under a corrupt and murderous government (as these guys are) then
one has to be prepared to be responsible for the actions of that government.

I personally think there is one point you and possibly these guys are deluding yourselves
with, if Tombong or the good ambassador don't realize that working with murderers,
butchers and COWARDS ( I write cowards in bold, for we can all remember when just a
couple of MEN WITHOUT guns made these "pillocks" vacate their barrack in Farafeni
within 5 minutes with their tails between their legs) contradicts human decency, then god help us.

I promised not to be too emotional, but I just damn can't .If Tombong and the good ambassador
are good god- fearing men, then they should resign from this murderous band of mad men and
women driving our dear nation to the abyss forthwith. If they have an iota of decency in them,
their resignation letters would be waiting for the world's biggest "twerp" when he gets out of his
slumber (and realizes that a dozen young people have just been murdered by his henchmen, and
that warrants him to leave Cuba for home) when he finally decides to go back home!!

Till then please spare us this rubbish of them being decent and also our brothers. I will not speak
to my own brother or my mum for that reason, if she serves under these dogs. And hey, I would not
keep the job even if my family has to eat dirt!!

Throughout the history of mankind countless men have sacrificed their lives of privileges for
the truth. Mandela had to endure over a quarter of a century of incarceration, but he knew the
price was worth paying. He is a decent man. So did Gandhi, and a countless others people.
Sometimes one's personal sacrifice for the good of all outweighs everything else. If your "brothers"
are so decent why the hell does anyone have to spell that out to them??

Have a good day.

Manneh
