Thank you kindly cousin and Prince Sankanu for enlightening us once again here at Ellen. I am confident our cousin JDAM shares my sentiments and he extends his unreserved love. I appreciate the regard you accord me. I am satisfied in the main. And in mop-up operations, we will bring finality to a few remaining and more benign issues therefore. I have brought those to the fore of our conversation. Later when I find some time, you will help me process those. To yield more focus and efficiency, we will treat them under separate covers. That those who despise you may realize that your differences lie in the scale and not quality of your passiona variously. For I think you are being maligned in error. I will send our first installment in these conversations momentarily. I shall patiently await your review. Thank you again my friggin Princely Sarahule. Haruna.

My iggest constraint now as I grow older with commitments is TIME. If at all I had he quality time I needed, I would have published at least 20 (twenty) high lass books within the last decade. I have to suspend the defence of my own octoral thesis because I do not have the quality time needed for it. Besides it s not a priority for me as I am not interested in jet-setting around as Dr. ankanu or lobbying for colourful global jobs (palasolu). Whenever I have the ime, I will defend my PhD thesis just for fun and for the maintenance of my amily tradition of seeking scholastic excellence alongside commerce. ue to the limited time, I try to squeeze things in my articles. An article of ine is, on the average, five pages long at the draft stage. By the time I am hrough with the proof-reading and contextual adjustments, it can go up to ten r fifteen pages. If a one-page article is too long for you, a five-page article s nothing for me. n case you do not understand my time constraints, my last article on Jammeh's 6 years was actually intended for Jammeh's FIFTEEN (15) years in power (2009). ut throughout 2009, I could not have the time to fine-tune it. Sometime in pril of 2010 (this year), I got the time for it. So instead of 15 years, the inal version was on Jammeh's SIXTEEN (16) years in power. have another draft article on homosexuality that I started after Jammeh's hreats to same-sex people. But it is still on the standby modus. There are imilar draft ones on our opposition politicians, the West, Islam, the informal ector and so on. My last Mandinkos article was a draft that I started during he previous online newspaper debates on tribalism in Gambia (remember the noise ver the articles of Captain Samsudeen Sarr and Mawdo Mathew K. Jallow). It was uring this Ramadan of 2010 that I fine-tuned and sent it to the Maafanta.com ditor. Fortunately, I had ample time widow that weekend, otherwise, the essay ould have waited again. am not under any pressure to complete and send articles to the various ditors. I am also not looking for attention and fame from any quarter. This pplies to all the areas of my professional life: ome of my film associates wanted me to carry roles in their Nigerian and hanaian movies but until 2015, it will very difficult for me to be on the set f any other movie that is not being produced by me personally. I am limiting yself to the behind-the-scene work as executive producer, distributor, talent oach, adviser, festival organizer and the like (see just one or two of my many roject websites below). also got offers to host some African TV shows in Nigeria and South Africa but have to turn them down due to my tight schedule. From now against 2015, every eek my life is fully planned with commitments and I have little room for anoeuvres. I just hope to live longer to be able to do some of the useful hings I am striking off my priority lists. o not therefore think that I am a bluff idler and master of excuses who is fraid of and avoiding bloody punches. People are free to call me names. The erson who calls me a liar has the right to do so. The one who labels be a unatic is free to add more. The one who feels I am genius has the right to is/her judgement. The one who calls me a bluff or lousy guy has the birth to do o. he bottom-line is that they will never change my DNA and persona: I (Prince .A. Sankanu) am OPEN-MINDED and I mean what I say/write and say/write what I ean. f I can challenge the Dogma of Islam by openly expressing my return to my frican Roots, what else under the sun can make me lead the life of falsehood ust to appease the Establishment? My boldness and confidence might shock people ut as we say in Sierra Leone “na so ifo bi! (this is how it should be). At east I am humbled by the fact that I am an opinion leader and agenda setter of he Thinking Class. For example, I spanked the Supreme Islamic Council and now t is facing wider scrutiny from other smarter commentators. Others are writing bout the histories of the various ethnic groups. The Daily Observer rushed to nterview Jaliba Kuyateh after reading my points on the Mandiko culture. There re other examples. n fact why am I saying all these things when I owe no one explanations on why I m or not doing something? our are my Uncle Suntou and no matter how much we and all the other debaters isagree and call each other names, we will remain part of the same big family. e will never break each others' heads. We will also not be myopic by killing ach other in the name of foreign religions. No hard feelings as they say on he streets of The Gambia. n the meantime, you can start finding answers to the question: how can the andinko humiliation under Jammeh be stopped? This is the simple fundamental uestion of my controversial Mandinko essay that is being avoided. So far all hose who have been trying to silence me, beat about the bush instead of loating ORIGINAL ideas for the end to the humiliation. Some have just been opying and pasting other people's research work on Mandinkos and other ethnic roups. nyway, look at what I have been saying about the African Cultural Renaissance nd the rediscovery of our native languages and good heritages: the Wolofs have ust launched their localized (wolofnized) Google edition. My congratulations to he Wolofs. What are the Mandinkos doing about the digitization of the Mandinko anguage and culture? Instead of following my good advice on the advancement of he Mandinko heritage, some want me to disappear. y time permitting, I will write something. Mr. Koroma has to wait for the piece n the Sarahule community and Jammeh until such a time I get the appropriate idow. Since I am not a member of The Gambia Post, kindly inform Koroma about t. rothers Yorro Jallow and Demba Baldeh of Gainako.com, kindly accept my belated nniversary greetings. I am with you all in spirit. I started a short message ull of hilarious anecdotes on my village life with the Gainakos (cattle boys) rom our neighbouring Fula villages in The Gambia.

I am pleased that you will refuse uncle Suntou's bait. And thank you for the regard you accord me. my reputation is riding on it. I have bigger fish to fry in Laye and Kukeh than worry about Yahya's self-correcting idiocies. But the idiot doesn't know that. I have sought guidance from our mutual cousin JDAM. At the risk of being ignored, he proposes to me: 1. Haruna, I understand our mutual cousin Sankanu informs us that the Sarahule joined with our cousin Fulas to dispossess mandingos of Kaabu....the enclave of Mandinkos, Fulas, Djollof, Sarahules, Diolas, Toucouleurs, Dogons, Serers, and the Twe. And that the Manding clan spans these constituent language groupings. Should they require an invitation from the Mandinkos to dispossess Yahya of his chuckhold on the Gambia Empire, I hereby invite my Sarahule cousins to join with the Mandinkos, their traditional Fula allies, the Jahankes, the Djollof, Serer, Manjako, Aku, Toucouleur cousins, and the oft Arab, and end our common suffering. 2. It is apparent that the dispossession of Kaabu has religious undertones (read islamization). If such islamization is averse to majority infidels, and now that the Fula and Sarahule form the Islamic majority, would were Prince Sankanu to join with the non-islamic minority to fight his global war against islamic Taliban, why did he join the Fulas to die with them in a war for Islam he now so abhors? Is there a certain conflict of treasures or latent disdain for other ethnicities that was the cause for yonder Fula/Sarahule alliance? Or has Islam transmogrified so in the intervening ears? 3. Prince Sankanu shares that even though EF Smalls accrued Gambia her independence to a significant measure, our cousin Akus lost out in the spoils of independence. Does his royal Highness imply therefore that Hon. EF Smalls' engagement was on purely ethnic grounds and not selfless national enterprise pursuits? I said this JDAM has to be ignored sometimes, but other times, he must not be ignored. He makes salient points here and he seeks the company of our cousin Sarahules and their Fula allies, also our cousins, in more national enterprise. SELFLESS SACRIFICE. Cousin Prince Sankanu, I encourage you to accept JDAM's invitation to prosecute this national war. You did say Mandinko are family to you and the Sarahules. We will make the family even more formidable to be equal to the enormous task ahead. I thank you in advance for your favourable considerations. I understand you are a very busy man. We will wait patiently or your regard. Your subject and cousin Haruna. -----Original Message----- From: Bubacarr Sankanu <[log in to unmask]> To: GAMBIA-L <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sun, Sep 12, 2010 6:43 am Subject: Re: Laye and JDAM, Please subscribe my knucklehead cousin Sankanu to Ellen. Oh Dear, Thanks Y Jallow for the solidarity message over the death threat. Those people re idle minds. My Ddear Uncle Suntou, you must understand that I am not an internet addict. I o not stay on the internet rough the clock and I have prioritized my email ccount in such a way that I do not always read most of my mails. I have a ilter. Some emails I just ignore until I get serious reminders before opening hem and others are just deleted unread. I do not want to be a slave of the nformation and Communications Technologies (ICT) and I have trained myself in ny way that I can survive without them. I have more pressing commitments that idling online. With the Gambia-L, you have to understand that I am a NEW COMER. I have to djust to the system here. I am grateful for the baptism of fire but I have to e careful not to violate the terms and conditions. Beside, my kind cousin Haruna Darboe sponsored me to the G-L and I would not ike to misuse his trust. Furthermore, my status binds me to responsibility and no one should expect me to emean myself by responding to every sneeze. My Dear Uncle Suntou, it is just unfortunate that you are linking Maafanta.com o a “safe cabin.” You will agree with me that Maafanta.com is an OPEN PLATFORM hat, unlike the CLOSED Gambia-L, gives internet users across the globe the asier chance to challenge and scrutinize me more aggressively. The qualities are different and if at all I wanted to avoid greater razor-sharp crutiny I would have limited myself to the closed list-serves. So your nsinuations do not work here. Gracing the Gambia-L is not a do or die matter for me. I can respectfully equest my un-subscription within seconds and it will not affect me. I am mot going to abuse the patience of Maafanta.com Editor by responding to very jerk. The debate on Mandinko humiliation under President Jammeh has just tarted and it makes sense for me to give other people ample time and space to xpress their opinions before I come up with a decent final rejoinder. No one xpects me to answer every question and I will only limit myself to the ones hat makes sense to most people. Tell your warrior Koroma of Gambia Post (as I am not a member of Gambia Post) hat I am not dogging the questions of Magistrate LJ Darboe and Mr. Joe Sambou. ut the answer is this: I AM NOT EXPECTING OR ASKING THE MANDINKOS TO BEAR THE URDEN OF LIBERATING THE GAMBIA FROM TYRANNY. Edward Francis Small, the non-Muslim Aku man who set the ball of Gambian ndependence rolling was not a Mandinko. But it was the Mandinkos who were among he other larger groups to enjoy the benefits of post-independent Gambia. EF mall's Aku group lost out. THE MANDINKOS HAVE THE NUMBERS, STUPID! Even though Yahya Jammeh's is umiliating the Mandinkos, it is a fact that the Mandinkos by virtue of their umbers are still occupying important positions in Jammeh's Government or the ivil Service. Even if another non-Mandinko person frees the Gambia from Yahya Jammeh, the andinkos will benefit from a post-Jammeh Gambia. It is the size of the andinkos that is giving Yahya Jammeh sleepless nights. I am a bit disappointed that some of the Mandinkos elites are yet to see that heir size gives them a unique position in our multi-ethnic Gambia and this osition means responsibility. It is not their fault that they became the ajority but reminding them of this fact should not be seen as blasphemy. Joe Sambou, your claim that Sarahulehs could be gassing diamond when the andinkos would be fighting is a result of ignorance. When the Fulas wanted to nd the Kaabu tyranny, they invited us Sarahulehs and we joined them. If we can ie together with the Fulas what will stop us from dying together with the andinkos and other ethnic groups? The Mandinkos, Bambaras, Sarahulehs and their ub-groups as part of what linguists called the MANDING FAMILY OF LANGUAGES. So Mandinkos are my family. I am disturbed by President Jammeh's humiliation of andinkos for the simple reason that I see them (Mandinkos) as part of my family hat is being humiliated. Anyway I will elaborate on it on Maafanta.com once my time permits. From now ill the first week of October and ever after that I will be EXTREMLY busy. The nly thing I might do is to proof-read the daft articles I have on polygamy and olof-Mandinkos sexualities and send them in between to the Maafanta.com Editor. This week, I will be serving as a resource person for the official opening of an xhibition on the forgotten African World War Two Veterans (runs through eptember 16, 2010 to January 16, 2011). The week after I will be on a TV round on the perceptions of Africans in the est organized by the WDR (West German Broadcasting) corporation (on September 0,2010). Parallel to that I will be coordinating our bi-annual African Film Festival in ermany (September 19 to October 4, 2010). After that there are still other commitments till the end of the year that will ulp my attention. I might come back to the Mandinko debate in between or even after the Gambian lection in 2011 or whenever my schedule permits it. If people do not have atience to wait, it is not my business. People are free to keep throwing arrows t me in between and I will not disgrace my status by responding to every idle alk. On a final note, my Dear Uncle OSAMA BIN SUNTOU, THE BOLONBA OF TALIBANISTAN, we ust have to agree to disagree in peace. You are a fundamentalist and I am nti-Taliban liberal. Even if the sky is painted red, we might not change our ositions. You are free to worship Allah and I am free to worship my African Deities. I ind our African polytheism democratic in that one has the freedom to choose and eplace his/her Gods. Monotheism is like dictatorship and one has spend his/her ife begging only one jealous God. As a liberal, I am allergic to dictatorship be is worldly (political) or elestial (theological). On a lighter note, kindly extend my Koriteh greetings to my beautiful cousins. I ight send cola nuts and one of my other Uncles from Spain to ask for the hand f one of them in marriage.

Editor, It gives me great pleasure to, for once, agree with my fellow Fulaman MK Jallow’s statement that Sankanu is “a genius”. Thoroughly disagreeable to many I am sure, and sometimes deliberately mischievious, but undoubtedly “a genius”. One rarely comes across an intellect to equal Sankanu, and I can, without exaggeration say that I notice traces of Steve Biko (I Write What I think), Ngugi wa Thingo’o (Homecoming) The Black Panthers (Revolutionary Suicide, Soul on Ice). I will not equate him to the great German thinker Nietzsche (because Nietzsche ultimately went mad). Weightier matters take precedent, but I hope to respond fully to Sankanu’s brilliant Fanonist Tour d’Force later. In the meantime, keep up the enlightenment, Great Prince, but beware of the Gambia-L --- in responding there, you may blunt your brilliant quill. Please keep your thoughts for a proper forum like Maafanta where you can give your undoubted genius full flight. Kind regards and “thank you” Dida Jallow-Halake, (aka Haile Hail Halake, Fula Prince of Southern Ethiopia). You wonder why this confused old boy is always inconsistent, now he too is a dreamer, a Prince as well. Life is good. The Prince's flawed concoction has gotten the support of the the immaculate Watchman himself. He says, ultra-Mandingos are flipping going onkers, by going into Mma Bah and other historical lesson in defense of Sankanu. Watchman, the great shadow enlightenment secular foot soldier hails Sankanu. Who would have thought, the writer whose mask made him a bit of a mystery would generalise and avoid real issues like the fantasist Sankanu, however, this kinds of discussion are hilarious for revealing deep seated cancers. If the Watchman wish to call Sankanu a fighter for secular cause, then i hope he can educate us with the reasoning of Secularism. Is superstition one among the secular talk talk? I wonder. The Watchman comes across a harbinger of American and European history, let him go deep into those and gain inject the Secular doze in this talk. I know he will enjoy it all. A challenge may be but old course work text might be handy here. The Gambia L awaits the Prince's response. For him to be man enough, he has to conquer the L not throwing trash at the media and sitting back. I know to be a Prince, one has to be fearless. Come Prince, we're waiting.

What would the Sarahule be doing while the "Mandingo is fighting Yaya"? Gass Diamond? I do not know you, but your supposition here is very prejudicial. With my limited knowledge of the relationship between Mandingoes and Sarahules, I was of the opinion that of all the ethnic groups n the Gambia, Sarahules and Mandingoes are close cousins, no? They certainly have more in common than say a Ndjago and Mandingo for instance. "Again, why do you want the Mandinkos, without the support of others, to take on a role and a responsibility that is of clear national dimensions, not to mention potentially tragic?" Liberating Gambia is the responsibility of all her peoples and across all ethnicities. On the issue of Mandingoes and Islam, how are they more so than the Wolofs, Fulas, Serer, jola, etc.? If you intend to discuss the trauma of all he other ethnic groups in future installments, sorry for jumping too soon. However, it does not appear that was in the works. Again, you sound very prejudicial with your global pronouncements. Yaya is getting away with murder not because Mandingoes allow him to, but because Gambians, you and I, allow him to. I hope you really revisit your global statements and how prejudicial they are against the Mandingo. It is unfortunate that you were issued death threats. Why death threats when they can simply dissect your global statements without blood letting? I will not worry if I were you, for if that was in us, Yaya would have been staked a long time ago. If Yaya can kill more than fifty people and victimize the whole population and he is still standing, you think any bluff will kill you? Dange La Buga Bose Rek.

To: [log in to unmask] Prince B.A. Sankanu Your "global" contention is a general point, and in so far as economic and political stagnation across the continent is of general application, it appears that you allowed a characteristic urge to generate needless controversy overwhelm your better faculties. As a cohesive glue, religion is of far less significance than ethnicity, and you make no sense in suggesting that a group equal with others under law must assume the responsibility of 'liberating' everyone regardless of clear and palpable risks to it. I accept that His Excellency SHEPAD Yahya A J J Jammeh (the Professor) continues to utilise a policy of "divide and rule" in The Gambia. If, as you suggested, the Professor targets the Mandinkos, does it not follow that the overall strategy is to divide others from the Mandinko, instead of dividing the Mandinko from others? Going by the internal logic of your own contention, it appears that the Mandinko cannot, at the same time, be ascribed he status of the victim, as well as the responsibility of the culprit. Think it through and the inherent contradiction of your contention may become all too clear. Moving on, you may wish to reexamine your contention that "Yahya Jammeh was able to misbehave in the last 16 years partly because the Mandikos allowed it. ... If at all Mandinkos acted the moment Jammeh started insulting them, he would not have continued. But he would insult the Mandinkos and the only reaction I saw from the Mandikos was virtually non". You appear to be a student both of history and contemporary affairs, and you cannot therefore fail to appreciate that your own adopted country provides a preeminent demonstration of the malign reach of totalitarian power. n light of the Professor's "divide and rule" along tribal lines, and considering that the police power in a dictatorship such as obtains in The ambia is concentrated in the presidency, why would the Mandinko allowed itself to be targeted for destruction? What special status does the Mandinko have to wear the mantle of national liberator in a jurisdiction of multiple ethnicities? Our national dilemma mirrors the classic scenario of "who would bell the cat". No individual, and no ethnicity in The Gambia has any illusion about the oppressive character of the Professor's government, but human nature being what it is, there is simultaneous covert and overt competition between ethnicities to outmanoeuvre each other for the benefit of the common oppressor. I need not remind you that in a tribal society like The Gambia, thnic affinity has a more compelling claim to cohesion than even religion. Again, why do you want the Mandinkos, without the support of others, to take on a role and a responsibility that is of clear national dimensions, not to mention potentially tragic? On "extreme Islamic doctrines", please enlighten on how the Madinko differs from "the Fula Allah Jabi Jabani, the Wolofs and their Mouride Brotherhood, the Tuculuer and Tijaniyaa, the Serere's respect for their re-Islamic values". As the foregoing are mere statements and not arguments, your case is not made. A princely prejudice? There is a persuasive case for that supposition! I take no issue with the rest of your response in the sense they are of no specific, and, or, unique application to the Mandinko. As I take no offence, I require no apology from you. My sole interest is to ventilate the issues as understood by you, and I proceed on the hope that you are able to frame the debate more objectively in future.

To: [log in to unmask] Date: Tuesday, 7 September, 2010, 23:40 Dear Mr. Darboe, I am grateful for the warm reception. I am not above criticism and I made this very clear in my piece: people are free to challenge or correct me in a mature manner. Abdul Karim Sanneh, calling me a liar is just unfortunate and thanks for that compliment. You are Sannneh and possibly a Nyancho and I understand your anger when I said that the Nyancho warriors ignored the advice of the African Gods. You can call me a liar but this historical fact is indelible and thinking about it makes you angry. To continue with Mr. Darboe, for sure the Mandinkos are not the only ones addicted to Islam. The problem is I studied Yahya Jammeh's "divide and rule policy" and it affected the Mandinkos the most. I also mentioned Jammeh's misuse of his own Jola people and the Jola justice awaiting him. Yahya Jammeh was able to misbehave in the last 16 years partly because the Mandikos allowed it. This is my observation. If at all Mandinkos acted the moment Jammeh started insulting them, he would not have continued. But he would insult the Mandinkos and the only reaction I saw from the Mandikos was virtually non. Ethnic trauma is not an exclusive Mandikno thing. I made reference to the African-American trauma and to our own Sarahule trauma. Many Africans were forced to accept Islam and Christianity against their will. Only a few had the change to resist the jihads (e.g. the Dogons of Mali, the Hausa Magunzawa of Northern Nigeria and others). I made reference to other Gambian ethnic groups who filtered/localized Islam by dropping the extreme doctrines: the Fula Allah Jabi Jabani, the Wolofs and their Mouride Brotherhood, the Tuculuer and Tijaniyaa, the Serere's respect for their pre-Islamic values. My global point is that Africa after 50 years of independence, it is time to intensively review all foreign ideologies that are arresting Africa' development. Africans love jumping into any novelty that comes from abroad without filtering it to suit their values. They easily follow false prophets. The biggest victims of the African Jihadists like Outhman Dan Fodio and others were Africans who were forced to denounce their faiths. The present day Northern Nigerian home region of Dan Fodio's origin is the least developed part of Nigeria even in African standards. Even though they jumped nto the Sharia bandwagons in 1990/2000, their situation is still miserable as most of them believe Allah will come down to literarily take them out of poverty. The kill industry, enterprise and spend their time forcing people to just pray and wait for God. I am not against organized religion. I am just against the misuse of religion to suppress and arrest human creativity. President Obama said the future of Africa lies in the hands of Africans. The solutions to Africa' problems cannot be found in Saudi Arabia, Iran, UK, USA and so on. No matter how much China, USA, UK & Co. love Africa, they would not like Africa to compete them on the global stage. They would like Africa to develop not according to African but according to their own geo-strategic interests. FILTERING and RE-DISCOVERING the best practices of our pre-Islamic and pre-Christian values are inevitable. Chairman Mao of China wanted to make China a Communist country but the project was a disaster as Communism is not part of the Chinese Culture. The Chinese are capitalists and they were key players of the old globalization through the ancient SILK ROUTES that connected Eurasia. Mo's successor DEN XIAOPING filtered Communism and integrated the ancient Chinese values of entrepreneurship and global trade into his development plan. The result we are seeing to day. This is basically what I am trying to highlight. Madinkos built empires just like us Sarahules and all other ethnic groups of The Gambia: we can all combine our rich heritages to build a successful Gambian Secular Republic. But first we need to do internal self-criticism before we can come up with a common agenda. If the Mandinkos can build great Empires of Mali and Kaabu, they can help make the Gambia a Great Nation when they integrate their good old but progressive nation building skills into our national development plan. There is no International Law that says all countries must develop according to the Westminster style of governance. Each country must find its wn system that respect local progressive values, the RULE OF LAW and CIVL LIBERTIES. Anyway, I apologize to all those who were disturbed by my unconventional but unavoidable though-provoking piece.
