Haruna, Thanks for the extra effort. That's the spirit brother. 'Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds'..Albert Einstein. Let's show these bullies that this is a new year and we're in this fight together, for better or for worst. Gambians have shed too many tears lately. We've gone through slavery, then came colonialism, and now it's dictatorship, only this time from none but our own fellow countrymen, Yahya Jammeh and his cohorts! Our people deserve a break for God sake. Too much suffering, too many tragedies, so many broken-hearted. When will it end? So much been said and so little been done, uttered surreptitiously by some of the most captious, BUT this is no time for pessimism. We have reached a critical juncture, where working together and making a difference for the common good seems the most patriotic thing to do. Let us strategize and formulate efforts to disburden the MONSTER that seems to comprehend NOT a single word of our pledge. It's 2001. May Allah(God, The AllMighty) help us all! I Remain Optimistic, George Sarr (Mr Makaveli) Haruna Darbo <[log in to unmask]> Subject: RUST College, MISS. NAASLC speakers To: [log in to unmask] Date: Dec 31, 2000 Ebrima, This e-mail was sent to Mississippi senators: Bennie Turner, Terry Burton, Videt Carmichael, and Hullman Frazier, and copied to Rust College's Alumni Association. DEAR SENATOR! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AUDIENCE. REPORTS THAT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (NAASLC) AT RUST COLLEGE DR. A.J. STOVALL HAS EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO GAMBIA GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS; YANKUBA TOURAY AND TOMBONG SAIDY TO SPEAK TO STUDENTS IN THE COLLEGE'S SOCIAL SCIENCE SCHOOL IS AT BEST TROUBLING, BORDERING ON MORAL BANKRUPTCY AND INTELLECTUAL FAMINE OF BRAILLIC PROPORTIONS. DR STOVALL VISITED GAMBIA WITH A GROUP OF HIS STUDY ABROAD STUDENTS AND THEY WERE APPARENTLY WELL RECEIVED BY THE APRC GOVERNMENT. APPARENTLY, MR. STOVALL IS ENDEAVORING TO RETURN THE FAVOR BY INADVERTENTLY LEGITIMIZING THE VERMIN OF A GOVERNMENT. CONSIDERING THAT ONE IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT AND A MURDERER, AND THE OTHER NONE FOR THE BETTER, THE GAMBIAN COMMUNITY IN THE GREAT STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, AND THE U.S. IN GENERAL BELIEVES THAT THE GESTURE, ALBEIT PERSONAL, IS ILL-ADVISED. THE ATTACHED LETTER FROM A HIGHLY REGARDED GAMBIAN SPEAKS TO OUR SENTIMENTS AND FACTS. FURTHERMORE, I REFER YOU TO THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT'S COUNTRY REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES-AFRICA-GAMBIA-1998/99. IN EFFECT, BECAUSE THE GAMBIA'S JUDICIARY'S INDEPENDENCE IS HELD HOSTAGE BY THE ARMED MILITIA GOVERNMENT, DR. STOVALL'S GUESTS ARE FUGITIVES OF LAW, BIDING TIME TO ANSWER TO CHARGES OF MURDER, TORTURE, BLOOD DIAMOND SMUGGLING, AND LIBYAN-COERCED TERRORISM. I THEREFORE HUMBLY REQUEST THAT YOU PREVAIL UPON AMBASSADOR HALEY IN GAMBIA TO DENY THE TWO U.S. ENTRY VISAS. WE ARE CONSULTING WITH OUR RESPECTIVE SENATORS AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT ON OBTAINING ARREST WARRANTS IF THEY SET FOOT ON THE CONTIGUOUS U.S. TERRITORY. I REMAIN-RESPECTFULLY-HARUNA DARBO. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
