Thank you Yus. Here's to a Gambian who can do something about his circumstance instead of endless chatter.

>Kotou Mustapha:

>I have scoured the archives to see where you once said that Ebou was married

>to your niece. Turns out that it is Peter Sanyanag you were referring to and

>not Ebou. So, I do apologize for wrongly referring to Ebou's wife as your

>niece.

>Nevertheless, I still cannot buy the fact that you only heard about this saga

>when you joined the Gambia-L. The headlines about your friend's fiasco were

>splashed in the papers everywhere, even in largely circulated ones such as

>New African.

>This is hopefully going to be my last comment about this issue, but I

>personally believe that you are not being forthwith about your relationship

>with Ebou. I dare say that you maintain private contact, and thus you have

>been compromised as it concerns your refusal to call a spade a spade and

>advice Ebou to do the right thing:

>He should not insult well meaning Gambians after being directly involved in

>the embezzlement of state funds.

>If you were a stand up guy, you would have advised him to at least be less

>arrogant in the face of questions which Gambians need to know.

>As for Ebou, he should understand that he has only been in this country for 6

>years and I believe he does not know this place too well. Tell him to watch

>his step, because there are mechanisms out here that allow for him to be

>tried here before being deported back home to face further charges. In lieu,

>of his apology to Jammeh, he has contradicted the statenments which allowed

>him to gain political assylum here.

>He also faces the possibility of a tremendous beat down, as they call it

>around these parts. He should understand that DC/MD/VA are all within

>driving distance of one another. We know the place well and he should make

>sure he is not in the wromg place at the wrong time. I swear by God that I

>shall lead the beating myself should the opportunity present itself.
