Joe,
If you are one of those who believe in whatever a
Gambian Newspaper writes, then I am sorry to inform you that you are harbouring
on nothing but on a paradox of facts and truths. A Newspaper said this
woman said so-and-so, the very woman is telling you, Joe Sambou, and the rest of
world that she did not say that to the Newspaper whose "taste appalled" you. I
am really finding it hard to understand your attempts to get to the
TRUTH.
Please note, in the same paragraph before you
mentioned Mrs Christensen in your posting. this is what you wrote about the very
newspaper you want to rectify your blunder.
"On the issue of the Observer, I was appalled by
their appetite for poor taste and total
disregard for truth and justice."
(the emphasis is mine)
These were your very words. Please look at this
sentence now and tell the whole of Gambia-L that you believe more on what
the Observer story than the statement of
Mrs Samba-Christensen.
You owe Mrs Samba-Christensen an unreserved apology
and stop trying to justify yourself, because you cannot. That home attitude of
trying to stand firm when the chips are down will not hold here. And please do
not attempt give yourself air that you are going to "Ras-to-ras" with a Gambian
lawyer, because that will be more detrimental than the events of 10th
April.

Samba-Christensen (Update)
Mary, this is a follow-up to my apology. I should
have waited until
I read all your postings before responding.
However, your anger
should not be directed to me, for I was not
the one who quoted you in
the Observer. How about trying this
angle, why don't you demand an
apology from the Observer. I
apologized to you not because you
requested one, but because I was on
the opinion that you did not
grant the interview. Since you are
on the offensive, I withdraw my
apology until the Observer Tabloid
apologize to you. If that does
not occur, then my previous
comment stands. As Yus stated, would the
Observer quote you if
you did not utter those words? That's the
million dollar
question. I hope that you settle your score with the
Observer
before you get back to me.
Chi Jaama
