Dear Sister,
Your mail was brought to my attention yesterday almost at the same time when I
was informed of the arrest and detention of the General(Momodou Domo Saho)who
could have also been another SOS or another commissioner if he wanted,but will
never identify himself with a regime that goes on murdering defenceless
students,he spent must of his time and energy giving support to students who
have been drop-outs from school because they either did not have money to pay
their fees or something else,such people will never be spear by a fascist
regime.
To your points,at one moment I decided not even to reply since it was too
personal,nothing political,nothing objective.
See here, you said;
Being anxious like Pa Dacosta I want to know who gave the orders...
Hmm ,is it not ridiculous if we have an army that can shot and kill innocent
students and yet we do not know "who gave the Orders"what type of army is
this?should such and army not be dissolved immediately before it happens
again since the order of command could come from no where,lets call for it now
before some else close to us becomes a victim,my dear sister.
You wrote;
You believe in your self.You believe that you are incorruptible.Why are you
not able to recognize the fact that somebody else might be in possession of a
similar positive trait....
Sister,I have gone again through what I wrote and I found nothing there of
such statement,this is your own story.I have many friends and political
friends,it is a question of being a schizophrenic to believe that one is the
only "incorruptible"person in the Gambian with a population of more than one
million people.I have no personality problem to the extend of seeing my person
in this light.
You wrote:
I can contribute some crowns to the funds,order Soffie Ceesays Gamsu T-shirt
to name a few.At the same time allowing others too to do their duty.Saiks
where is your collective spirit.
Sister,history could sometime be very short,believe me but it is only life
human beings who make history !!!Sofie is part of a collective,it is a
collective spirit that produce those T-Shirts and not Soffie as an
individual,there are no "Soffie Ceesays Gamsu shirt" but Gamsu T-shirts
produce by the labour of a collective spirit and for the collective struggle
against this fascist regime.I am also a member of that collective.
You see the struggle is not a struggle for collection of charities,it a
struggle to bring about social change in the interest of our people.Sister
this is an issue concerning among other things the brutal murder of innocent
children,the torture and illegal arrest and detention of ordinary people.
You wrote again,
During your stay abroad what in the name of the struggle you doing in
London-Oslo?During your stay abroad what contacts have you made during your
studies to be able to channel medical resources Home?
If perhaps you dont know I leave in Oslo and not in London.We perhaps have
agree here that we have a different interpretation of what the struggle is all
about.If you have the liberty to ask me what I have done to better the
condition of that dirty and poor RVH and yet still demand from me not to
question those who collect tax monies,go the world round taking loans in the
name of the Gambian ,only to use that money to buy bullets and murder children
instead of incubators,or x-ray machines, build bunkers and palacess or buy an
airplane instead of creating jobs,by bandage and medicines for the
hospitals,give our children a better education,then my dear sister the
intention of your response have a hidden agenda.
One of my boss received this letter from the RVH,reference
nr.RVH/36VOL.II,dated16 july 1998,
......On behalf of the Hospital management board,I seize this opportunity to
extend my sincere gratitude for the generous donations.......
Sister even though these things were sent to the Gambia,they never changed the
condition of the people,in fact in the same letter there was the demand for
more.Who should you bring to accountability ,me ? because I am speaking
against the brutality of this fascist regime ?
You wrote again:
You were home guess during the crisis,where you at the hospital to render your
service ?
Yes my dear Sister I was home then.No I was not at the hospital but right
there where does children were brutally murdered under my very eyes,one of
them was even dying in my own hands,I hope you get this because I have said
this before.And I will tell you if not good luck who knows I might have been
another victim,that does not concern this forum and I will not go into details
here,but I wash my hands and feet from blood stain of the innocent children at
the Red Cross ground.
To conclude my dear sister,the struggle is something permanent,there are no
short cuts to victory,the masses them selves must come to that end,to believe
that one can make a revolution through military coups is wrong.Why did we not
learn from Burkina Fasso,from Liberia,from Chana,fron Grenada etc.The
consequences are the very one we are having,the murder of Ousman Koro
Ceesay,the murder of innocent students,the farmers ground-nuts,the bunker,the
zoo,the palace,the roots coming home festival,the lack of jobs,the unlawful
arrest and detention,how can we defend all these things.Or do we have to
conclude with what C.L R James said,that "The question of men who carry out
certain progressive agitation and then betray the cause is a commonplace of
history" The struggle continues.
For freedom
Saiks
