Jabou/Elhadj You did nothing wrong when you made the call for forgiveness on the part of our brothers/sisters who in one way or the other worked with Jammeh but quit only when they realised the devil in Jammeh.To forgive is godly and to call for it too is godly.I am of the believe that once we succeeded in uprooting Jammeh we will have a Truth and Reconciliation Commission similar to that of South Africa -there and then people with tainted hands will come forward ,confess to their crimes and seek forgive.The war of words that ensued following the $3 million questions was not the least positive in the fight to uproot Jammeh.WE all have a right to our opinions but we should be mindful not to infringe on others to the extend of calling names.The Ebou Jallow case or the Missing $3 millions or what ever you call it is to me a very tiny fraction of the real problem we have.The details of this transaction is on file and can be easily retrieve anytime the need arises and more over Ebou Jallow & Jammeh are known people who can be reached anytime to answer to charges. Lets regroup and concentrate on the real problems at home .The April 10 & 11 killings of innocent unarmed stundents needs a thorough and aggressive follow up.For two months now the Coroner's report is yet to be made pulic.The Commision of Enqiury we are now made to understand is having problems with the AG's Office.All AIMED at frustrating the findings of the commission .When will justice finnaly prevail? The DEVIL and his Co.are experts in fabricating stories/events to distract peoples attention to burning issues .Just take a look at events unfolding back home, after the April killigs there was this report of Bissau soldiers ,then the UDP ambush and the arrest of Lalo ,Dumo and others -and now the Kanteh/Makalo story.At ANY onetime when people are focusing on things not in their interest they create stupid tales/scenes to undo us. Lets stop the fight amongst us for now and embark on an aggressive follow up as said over and over by Keba Dampha-we owe it to our BROTHERS & SISTERS who died in the hands of the devil's security men. Lets share this from Ralph W Emerson "THOUGHT IS THE BLOSSOM, LANGUAGE THE BUD ,ACTION THE FRUIT BEHIND IT" FAAL >From: Jabou Joh <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: ON FORGIVENESS >Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 23:28:51 EDT > >Dear Elhadj, > >I don't believe that you have hurt anyone or intended to when you mentioned >forgiveness.
