Haruna and Kalilu: I guess you guys missed my point. I was not and am still not out to get President Jawara. What I'm saying is simply that, the juxtaposition of the two regimes by Mr M. Ceesay and a whole lot of other people, as Hamadi rightly asserted, just drives me nuts. This is because I am of the conviction that both Administrations are bloody and therefore trying to contrast one from the other isn't only illogical, but it goes further to demean the victims of the Jawara era's criminal activities. What Mr. M. Ceesay wrote about Pres. Jawara's rights record was illusory, however, his overall objective in the letter was quite clear; trying hard to liberate our people. This is just another dark spot in an otherwise positive missive. Now Kalilu, are you telling me that the freedom of critizing a sitting president should be a prvilege? You must be kidding me, Bro! And besides, Haruna, I never said in any way that Jawara taught Yaya. What I meant is that, the system under which the Jawara administration operated was very conducive to bring about the likes of Yaya Jammeh or even worse (God forbid). As a matter of fact, that same system was what brought us the 1000lb-monster that Yaya Jammeh has become. That's what I deeply believe to be the case as an independent individual. I am now ready to lay this subject to rest and move on to some other important burning issues. Ous Ngum. _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
