Makoub, I don't think you will get a genuine reply from this guy? I laughed my head off when I read your mail because this is the question in everybody's mind right now. Remember he said he used to follow the discusions on the L a long time ago WHEN HE WAS IN THE GAMBIA. Then again look at the time he posted his mail. Does that ring a bell. We will wait and see the outcome. >From: makoub gnass <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: CIVIL SERVANTS FORCED TO BUY APRC MEMBERSHIP CARDS/INDEPENDEN > T >Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 16:57:19 CEST > >R u the same Baba Jobe working with Yaya Jammeh? > > >>From: baba jobe <[log in to unmask]> >>Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list >><[log in to unmask]> >>To: [log in to unmask] >>Subject: Re: CIVIL SERVANTS FORCED TO BUY APRC MEMBERSHIP CARDS/INDEPENDEN >> T >>Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 14:17:43 GMT >> >>Thank you very much Sariang.
