Mr. H. Sallah: I never thought for a moment that we cannot talk. As a matter of fact, I am just your little brother asking you to go back to what you are good at. Your previous tenacity and conviction during our high school days made a lasting effect on me. I have not seen you for over 20 years, but I'm certain you've not changed. I hope you've understood my constant nagging because you are so vital in the struggle to unseat dictator yahya jamus. A story was told of your fellow who left home to attend high school in Banjul. He never understood why a nice Wollof lady would give him porridge on his way to Saint Augustine's High School. He became so worried that he had to take Lancaster and Perseverance Streets. (Please excuse my lapse of memory, this little boy was hungry.) As time progressed, he became so full with guilt that he had to take Primate Street to see the same nice lady. She became furious and asked: "Are you not Jattanding Jassey's son." Brother Halifa, I do not want to repeat the same analogy and that was why I kept on trying to reach at you. Your previous crusade for democracy cannot go in vain especially at this critical time. I was impressed with your willingness to join other opposition members if the dictator does not tally 50% in the first round of the presidential elections. Brother Halifa, this is a calculated risk. Why wait to give the dictator another opportunity to further divide us? Please do some soul searching. Remember that our struggle to free The Gambia must be in remembrance of innocent citizens killed, tortured, rape, robbed and denied their right to decency. Please further remember the recent adoption of members of MOJA(G). With our unity, The Gambia shall be free. Please let us act in the name of Allah, the merciful. Comrade, ML Jassey-Conteh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
