Minos: Thanks for the reminder. Inasmuch as it is well intentioned, I have a fundamental issue about your thrust in that you made it a point to reach out to Pa Modou with the specific intent of making him recognize the occasion and somehow come to terms with issues as most of us see them here. But problem wit this approach is that from his postings here, he has never really shown himself as a man who has come to terms with what happened by not only decrying the suffering of the families, but also acknowledging who was responsible for the incident and thus approportioning blame where due.. Pa Modou Gassama has never done this and long windedly exhausting yet empty acknowledgement he just made me sick to the bottom of my stomach... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
