Mr. Small, I'm just trying to re-assure Gambians in the diaspora that indeed relations between our two sisterly countries is very strong contrary to what was implied by Ebrima's source. I am sure you will agree with me when I say that good relations between the Gambia and Senegal must be maintained at all cost regardless of who is in power. Or would you rather see a Senegal that is suspicious of our desire for peace in Casamance? I eagerly await your response. Have a good day and bye 4Now, KB Jobe. > > >----Original Message Follows---- >From: Edward Small <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list > ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Ebrima, your sources got it all wrong! >Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 15:51:54 -0000 > >The mere idea of having people like "Kebba Jobe" in The Gambia is > >sickening. >Only the prospect of divine justice some day can offer solace to us >poor >mortals.
