Mr. Ceesay: May I suggest that you don't waste valuable time in defending your character to skeptics? You have provided valuable information to the struggle and non of us will question your sincerity. Please continue on with your style of journalism and refrain from responding to enemies who are set to distract us. Brother, please remain strong. We know who we are, and as such our struggle to unseat the dictator is in full gear.

Samba Boye: I was about to go to bed and saw your posting; so I thought I should give you a quick and a brief response. By the way, those who know me well, can defend my integrity. I do not have to come here and defend it myself. Believe me, Samba, if these people had an idea of what my work schedule is, then they would appreciate the little being given. Honestly, some of us in this struggle, are better off in the West, than being in The Gambia. We are only speaking out, because we love and care for our helpless people, and also believe in justice and fair play. And, mark you, if Yahya Jammeh's money could buy me, then logically, they would have, by now, known who my sources were/are in his Government. I bet that who my sources were/are would have been Jammeh's number one priority if he was to enter into a deal with me. So the fact that not a single one of my sources in the Gambia, is yet to be arrested or known, clearly confirms that I am not in any league with the Jammeh regime. It is even an insult to me and my family for people to suggest/insinuate what you are saying. My brother, for two years now, I have regularly forwarded confidential messages from my sources in The Gambia to the L, and so far, not a single one of them is known by Jammeh and his people. In England, I would have received an award for it - for being trustworthy (laugh!). Right now, I have the Claire Short's letter to the Commonwealth, on the Gambian situation, and I could have sent tonight, but because I care about my source in the Commonwealth Office, I have decided to send an abridged version at some point. Anyway, Gambians should also understand that I am now a full time postgraduate research student and, of course, with family responsibilities as well! Having said that, I'll never betray the struggle! I would continue to give my best, as long as I am alive and kicking!
