Sister Jabou and the rest of the Ebou Jobarteh family: I extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing away of Ebou Jobarteh. May his soul rest in peace. Brother Sheikh Tijan: It saddens me to have learnt of the death of Cherno M Baldeh, who was in fact the first editor-in-chief of the Daily Observer when the paper was launched on May 11th, 1992, by Kenneth Y Best. Indeed, Cherno was an intellectual giant and although Mr Best himself is well read, he told me and Journalist Justice Fofanah (more than once) that he wished he was as clever as Cherno. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
