Abdoulaye Saine: Thanks for the information on Dr Jabez Langley. I'll pass it to Arnold Hughes. Arnold and I had a chat the other day, and he asked about Dr Langley. Arnold told me of a colloquim held in Scotland on Senegambia Relations in 1974 during which he (Arnold) presented a paper. Then Langley was at Edinburgh. Attending this colloquim were Senegalese politicians, Prof. Abdoulaye Bachilly, then a student at Birmingham University, Gambian students in the UK, Phoday Jarjusey I believe and Adama Mboge, also attended it. Seydina Oumar Sey, who was Senegalese Ambassador to England at the time, also presented a paper, and the late Omadi Diarra came from Brussels to present a paper on the Gambia Government perspective. At the end of the colloquim, a book was produced on the deliberations. By the way, I have to commend for your excellent paper on the Jerry Rawling/Yahya Jammeh Transitional Rule, published in the latest special issue of the Journal of Military and Political Sociology. It was a great piece of work. I was going to give Arnold a copy of your paper, but he indicated that he already got an offprint from you. On "Kebba Jobe", I posted my second message and then saw your advice. Anyway, I'll await his response to my second posting. George Sarr: Thanks for the e-mail, and I am pleased that you are okay now. Yes, you are right; Hamjatta, Saul, Kebba Dampha, and Colley have kept the struggle alive.
