Lamin Conteh: The unedited e-mail below is a reaction from the "concerned Gambian" who wrote the piece on/about Cheyassin Secka. Ebrima __________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Response to Mr. Conteh >Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2000 > >Coach, >Mr. Conteh's reaction to my comments about Cheyassin is rather unfortunate. > I am not one of your regular sources but rather a concerned citizen who >has known Cheyassin Secka for over two decades. I have followed his career >closely as well. For someone who claims to know Cheyassin as Mr. Conteh >claims would have been more forthright in his characterisation of >Cheyassin. I can tell you that Cheyassin is neither brilliant nor sincere >in my book and in the book of many of his colleagues. This is not >character assassination; it is the simple thruth. One more thing, how can >you consider Cheyassin a sincere man when he persistently lied to us as >Gambians about the April 10 and 11 murder of our children and lied to us >about the need for constitutional amendments at this late stage of the >game. Finally, it is obvious that you are unaware of the fact that the 1981 >attempted coup is also referred to as "the taxi-man's coup". Kukoi was not >a taxi driver but several of Kukoi's Council members were taxi drivers >including Simon Talibo Sanneh who is presently the driver to Cheyassin and >thus the name "taxi-man's coup". You need to read up a little bit about >that era. I would appreciate Mr Conteh telling me what is incorrect in my >message to you on Cheyassin. Thanks. > _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
