Is the same Ebou jallow ,who served as spokes othe AFPRC? I am very interestd to know before i comment on his article. >From: Ebou Jallow <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Operation Gambia First- Towards a common strategy to liberate The > Gambia >Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 15:48:34 EDT > >I have been reading and analysing the various comments, frustrations and >common fulminations towards the evil Yaya Jammeh within the G-L community >and come to a very surprising observation.
