Ebrima: I'm not sure whether you and Tombong are talking about the same Essa Sey. But, if it is the same Essa Sey once a gendarme and who later worked at the Ministry of External Affairs, he was definitely at the Gambia Mission to the UN in New York. I went to the office to obtain some info and bumped into Essa Sey. I later had about 20 minuntes discussion with him on literary issues such as poetry and short-story writing. Unless if I had been day-dreaming! BTW, the tel# for the Mission is (212)949-6640. If Essa had been a Deputy Perm-Sec. then he must have been shuttling between New York and Banjul throughout the Bissau talks, a ridiculous venture that no government would like to take up even the APRC. I just thought that I should clarify that particular point. >From: ebrima ceesay <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Expect my reaction to Tombong >Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 03:44:12 PDT > >Gambia L, > >I am doing something very urgent right now, but expect my reaction to >Tombong's posting by tommorrow.
