Katim, I would like to assist in any way I can on this. However, I have to register my opposition to the offer of no prosecution and a generous pension to Jammeh. That is a proposal that I oppose vehemently since thses people have already robbed our national coffers, and deserve no pension at all, not to mention a generous one. This pension would not have been an issue of debate had this administration carried out their assigned duties for the Gambian people, but in my opinion, they have instead, robbed, pillaged and murdered, and therefore have more or less deprived themselves of this priviledge. Pensions are given to show appreciation for services rendered, and their is a nightmare, not a service to be appreciated and rewarded. Regarding granting them immunity, that would be the greatest miscarriage of justice in our history, rivalled only by the ones being levied against our people by this very group for which we are proposing immunity for. If these two points can be eliminated from this proposal, then you have my cooperation, otherwise, no thanks.This proposal should call for the unconditional removal of Jammeh and his band of gypsies from the backs of the Gambian people, and nothing else. That is the only fair stand we should take, and nothing else.

You might recall that earlier this week, I informed the list that I was fortunate to meet Wisconsin's Senator Russell Feingold, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and also the Ranking Member of that Committee's Africa Sub-Committee. >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
