In 1995, my uncle returned to work for The Gambia. He was then simultaneously working on developing the Wonjo as our national drink to be bottled and compete with Coca-Cola/Fanta. First he was appointed Secretary at the Scholarship advisary Borad. He worked under Mrs. Satang Jow. Some days ago i learned from this list that she is Yusupha Jow's mother. Yus, please ask Aunty Satang what it was like to work with Mr. Sarjo Jallow. This may somewhat shed more light from an independent respected Lady different from me,( who, some might think is only presenting subjective facts). On the morning of the April event, Sarjo Jallow was coming from Banjul when his car was stopped by the students. When they saw him, their response was: "Leave him to pass, for that is OUR car". He tried all in his capacity together with others to appeal to the Gambian People, especially those who lost their loved ones to forgive and nurture 'The Healing Spirit'. It was at a very trying moment in our history as a Nation. That we do not plunge our country into civil strife, in wanting to revenge. Hamjatta, the people of The Gambia listened to him. For the journalists, information desks have been created for the first time in the history of our country in almost all the Departments of State, whereby journalists can be attended to; to confirm their stories or to get information. That does not stop those journalists who have their hidden agendas from printing what they wanted. The late Mr. Dixon Colley, owner of 'The Nation' was on many an occasion arrested and detained for what the powers at the time deemed as 'sedition and seditious material'. Did that stop Jawara or his cabinet from claiming to be champions of democracy? Give me a break! MOJA-G was banned under the same regime. Mustapha Danso(whose story was later written by Mr. Dumo Sarho) was murdered by the same regime and his body is in a Pit Latrine in Bakau barracks. July 30th and its aftermath, with all the lives that were lost is a balance sheet as we write. Hamjatta the devil you are trying to paint does not exist! Today, the Wonjo has been developed and ready to be bottled in flavours of Vanilla and Banana, to be marketted in the European Union and back home, in The Gambia. Future plans are to build a production factory, that would provide imployment for our people, as we drink a natural iron-rich beverage with healing effects. Hamjatta Kanteh, you are a blatant liar! I searched the archives, no where have i read you engaging Aunty Jai. One Dave Manneh and Mr. Sarho's brother were debating her. You with your usual imbecille behaviour were even then in tantrums and convulsions. Going on all four to be taken from behind by anybody who was arguing with her. With dignity she refused to be drawn into the gutter. Yes, Sarjo Jallow is working with Jammeh, but what you refuse to accept is the fact that Sarjo Jallow IS WORKING FOR THE GAMBIAN PEOPLE. There is a word called 'Touché' look it up! Whether my uncle has betrayed his earlier convictions or if they are stronger now than before CANNOT be judged by you, but History and The People of The Gambia. Finally, you wrote that a screw must be loose in my brain: Hamjatta, there is no history of mental illness in my family. My twin sister Husseinatou(of blessed soul) died an infant, a victim of smallpox. Both my parents and grandparents are alive and health. In 1998, your brother of the same mother and father was diagnosed with schizophrenia in New York. He is today back home, completely uncared for. This disease is a heriditary disease. Who knows, the Hamjatta we are dealing with today might just be showing symptoms of acute depression and a deteriorating mental status. Sometimes when i read your garbage, i feel genuinely sorry for you. For all it might take is a little incident and you will completely lose control. A Genuine Advice Please, seek help! Until then all the insults you have ever showered on Sarjo Jallow, all derigatory words you directed at him was never for him. Instead Hamjatta Kantah, you were/are addressing Old Mr. Kanteh, your Father. Returning your own bile, Hasatou. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
