Ebou Colly, Your observation is quite interesting. It seems like you did entertain some humour by asserting that "some times when they want to talk about a spot in the moon they would first take you on a ride at different spots in the surrounding stars until you sometimes end up being totally lost in the galaxy." May be we are in the same boat, Ebou. We are also finding it difficult to understand the focus of your intervention. What I can say about our letter is that it is not addressed to the L but to the Chief Justice. We simply posted it for general information. We hope the Chief Justice will not miss our point. On the other hand, you seem to indicate that you understand the point. You went further to argue that "Given the raw unedited evidence, gathered from the various witnesses so far, it is clear that the APRC government is caught butt naked in its own scheme. There is no way that the Jammeh followers could make the excuse that the enemies of the APRC government fabricated the incriminating facts, because it was Yaya himself who established the commission. Moreover, several witnesses narrated the same atrocities committed by the security forces, especially those teachers, students and ordinary by standers found in the middle of the butchering." Then you went on further to assert that "Any way while Yaya thought that he could in this case use the same ungodly tricks of creating pseudo-commissions of inquiry that in the past nearly helped him in destroying all the evidence in the Koro Ceesay murder case, he perhaps failed to realized that this one was going to be the final straw. These were children of god he had butchered; angels for that matter, whose spirits are still lingering around waiting for final justice in their untimely deaths. As a result, the government's lies in the wake of the witnesses' testimonies are in every seating exposing their calculated evil actions .It has come to a point where every thing is now clear to the Gambian public." On the other hand, you also mentioned that "The commission of inquiry, like the coroner's inquest is all meant to waste or buy time and nothing else." You then catapulted to the following conclusion "The coroner's inquest and commission of inquiry are all baloney. The Gambian people must rise while it is still necessary and justifiable because their nation has been hijacked by a gang of bandits and murderers, who wouldn't yield to anything other than what they understand best, force, force and total stupidity. Let's be clear about that." Are you saying that the Gambian people should yield to total stupidity and force to deal with the situation? If so, are you going to provide them with the arms to confront people who are armed? Or are simply calling on them to be canon fodders before those who are armed? Please be clear about what you are proposing if you are genuinely interested in the welfare of the Gambian people. Greetings.
