Baba, Point of correction, Hamid Adianoh is not in prison or detention.  He was fined D50,000 which he paid and announced that he would be shutting down for a while.

As soon as I your saw your response to Galleh, what came to mind was a quote from a pen name Turk, “Diaspora! Too many Chiefs and Very Few Indians.” While I do not intend to associate the lack of many contributors to the above quote, to avoid annoying any, I couldn’t help that it echoed in my little skull. I still will give any the benefit of the doubt…and let Joe (US) and Malik (UK) still make that box open for any aspiring to contribute. Meanwhile, I join in to thank all those that saw it as a worthy cause and contributed to support that cause. It could have been any of us.   As I submitted to the GPU-USA/UK and Gambia weeks ago, Today’s editor (Adiamoh) is still languishing in jail.. We must not let the guilt of forgetting him there haunt us tomorrow. Even though he is a foreigner, he is still among us. I therefore humbly reiterate that prayers and help be extended to him in whatever way humanly possible.   Regards,   yj     There is no god but Allah (SWT) and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger. Fear and Worship only Allah alone!   Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 22:22:37 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [>-<] UK Funds Transfered to GPU-USA account To: [log in to unmask] CC: [log in to unmask] "... $300 from the U.S. and £495 from the UK".   Baba Galleh   Thanks for info, but considering the overall person numbers at play in the US, and Europe, these figures require serious reflection.   I profusely thank those who saw fit to contribute in an effort geared at some alleviation of the traumatic challenges facing Chief Ebrima Manneh's family.           LJDarbo     --- On Tue, 14/7/09, Baba Galleh Jallow <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Baba Galleh Jallow <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [>-<] UK Funds Transfered to GPU-USA account To: "NEW GPU-USA" <[log in to unmask]>, "New Gambia-L" <[log in to unmask]>, "New GambiaPost2" <[log in to unmask]> Cc: "Elisabeth Witchel" <[log in to unmask]>, "Tom Rhodes" <[log in to unmask]>, "Mohamed Keita" <[log in to unmask]>, [log in to unmask] Date: Tuesday, 14 July, 2009, 6:13 PM Dear All,   This is to inform our general membership and all who so kindly chipped in to help Chief Manneh's family that Njok Malik, our kind volunteer in the U.K, today, Tuesday, July 14, transfered the sum of £495 into the GPU-USA account. Below is the relevant portion of Njok's email sent to our Accountant Joe Sambou and myself.   "Baba & Joe, £495 transferred from my Business Account Yaram Arts and Sports Ltd to the GPU-USA Account.  Bank will deduct standard charges and as the money is sent in Sterling, the Bank of America end will exchange into dollars.  It may also take up to 5 working days to be with you."   On behalf of the GPU-USA and the Manneh family in Banjul, I want to say thank you so very much to all who contributed to this worthy cause. We were able to collect about $300 from the U.S. and £495 from the UK. This should help the Manneh family for at least another five months.   Meanwhile, GPU-USA last week received a report from GPU-Gambia that they handed over another 2500 dalasi to the Manneh family early this month... They still have one more installment of 2500 for next month, after which GPU-USA will determine how much more to send again for subsequent months. We ask all who have not yet contributed and would like to do so to please send their contributions to Njok Malik in the UK or Joe Sambou in the U.S.   Thanks all and God bless you.   On behalf of GPU-USA   Baba G.
