Mr. Barrow: Will all due respect, you have blown this one. Why can't imaginary Alieu Keita fight his own battle. I thought you have some dignity. I am disturbed by your ignorance. We are no fools. We need to hear from the same Alieu Keita who thought that he could instill fear in our struggle. We are determined to kick the dictator and his stooges out of The Gambia. We will never surrender to tyrants. Please do some soul-searching. Internally, you are deceiving yourself. We pray for a yahyaless Gambia. Naphiyo, Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh ------Original Message------ From: Mustapha Barrow <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: March 1, 2001 12:29:38 PM GMT Subject: FWd: "caged" by facts/Brains or only blames. Gambia-l, This is a forward from Alieu S. Keita: Barrow, Thanks for your private e-mail and be rest assured that i am not a quitter, i have been browsing through during my "free" moments. I am very busy these days. Ps, i met them at Gatwick ( you know who, i believe! ). However, after having gone through some of the recent postings, i was glad, for the simple reason that nowadays the discussions are becoming more objective, responsible and all insults are being "garbaged". I read through Hamjatta's, Haruna's and that of Mr.D Nying, to be candid even whereas some of these guys have views different from mine vis-a-vis the regime at home, i must admit that the discussion as of now is "fuming" but producing the scent of "chooraye". Please!!!!! people like Jasseh Conteh and some other peripheral distractors who are only armed with their "magnetised" jargons shouldn't waste your time! The moscovites used to say that, "nothing new is nothing good" so i believe the new trend of tolerance should be guarded with total jealousy by all. Actually all that i AL K. was after is to allow all and sundry be able to attend the trade fair or (gambia-L laugh). It is now left to those watching, to choose the goods that suit them. Therefore, if there are self appointed Gambia-L judges who are engaged on gribbing people like me with their "hidden-electrocuting" sanctions around, why on earth aren't they telling Conteh to eject Zainab's name from the discussion in order to encourage the prevailing DECENCY!? This is the very way that personal attacks are allowed to mushroom and when things become uncontrollable thats the time we start seeing Dr.this! Dr.that! or satire this! satire that! parading herein crying foul in a very cynical way. Gambia-L belongs to Gambians and i have not YET come accross any extra-terrestial subscriber herein! so lets discuss respectfully and in a tolerant way. If some of us are teaching decency, maturity, etc then why can't we listen to each other? The bible's desiderata gives us the answer.I cannot understand the use we can derive from superimposed so-called intellectuals when these "intellectuals in spectacles" as was said by Birago Diop a renowned senegalese poet,CANNOT tolerate speaking to some one who does not either understand their "deep-rooted" intelligence(laugh) or does not agree with their views. It is obvious that guns can dictate but its worst if we attempt to dictate with our pens or key boards...What i see here is when Dr. X speaks just say yes! when Dr. Y writes just consume because he is the camp's "yaakaar" thats really funny for me because my intellectual perpective refuses to be "shackled". In Gambia before, the following words were worshipped because of ignorance ie: DOCTOR! LECTURER IN THE STATES! PROFESSOR! Oh no! you see if we take into consideration the brains in Los-Alamos and other areas in the states, should we say that Great American Institution should have been led by these scienctists and not "bushy"? Of course not! When shall these Doctors and this or thats establish an Ngo and show us something different. We have only heard these so-called paper-hungry exams-maniacs say "libaahut" "lijaarut yôn" but not yet create any concrete institution for the welfare of Gambians. Does this mean that Dr.X and Dr. Y etc can never produce if they are NOT at state house? I won't be surprised if they accuse me being jealous ha! "Na waye di wuyo lamuy nuru". I will be active again when the need arises as of now i am really very busy doing other things. Good night sir!!!!(laugh). NB: you may forward this if you wish. Alieu (your brother). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
