Brother Yanks,

Yes big Bro

“I am following your exchange with my other brother Tunkara with immense 
interest and and some foreboding”. Haruna

Thanks for the indulgence.

“Memoranda:
I am disappointed you sign off with "Nemesis Yanks". It takes away from the 
gravitas of your argument. I understand your disposition vis-a-vis Tunkara, 
but I think that signature inures animus. And I declare you do not intend 
such. I encourage you to keep it simple and focused. Another more benign 
signature as to Tunkara is advised”. Haruna

Brother far from inuring animosity, my signature is just a choice of phrase to conclude my write ups it has no bearing of vendetta. It was once expressed that I use it to people that I perceived as enemies, but this is not the case. It is just one of my phrases: Brethren Yanks or Nemesis Yanks. The choice depends on my familiarity with the person. 

“I keep getting sidetracked with your numerous quotes of disparate persons 
and epoch. While this attaches significance to the quotes, it risks relegating 
your commentary to groping for acknowledgement and I find some of the 
quotations ineffectual. Hemingway, Einstein, Kant, and Nixon lecterns for different 
epochs. The idea for such quotations in law is the establishment of precedence 
in law and deterrence of crime. In your case, you have established that 
Nderry's crimes are complete and you consider measured punishment”. Haruna

Brother far from groping for acknowledgement my use of quotes are to make a persuasive point. That is to tell the reader that this point I’m stating has been shared with so and so of this epoch. Besides as Socrates rightly puts it: “employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have laboured hard for”. 

In common law, quotation of legislation or legal precedents are used to tell the judge conducting a trial that this is not words of mine but those of a judge who had been at your position or above your position or that of the legislation. I’m sorry you find my quotes ineffectual but that would not avert me from my long tradition of quoting honourable men of great accolade to support my point in debates, writings or speeches. 

In fact far from being a result of studying law, it is my style of writing and I love it. I believe every writer has a style. I once had a nicknamed of “Quotes” at my undergrad from colleagues who find it quiet intriguing that I love quoting from others. But they understand that it was a hobby i love; it has nothing to do with groping acknowledgement from people. I quote people because I show deference to what they state or wrote. If someone shares the same deference then that is a point we can agree upon!    

“As regards Nderry's crimes, I have shared with you that I hold no brief for 
the man, neither do I believe him benign. However, I encourage you to consider 
this:

Nderry's custody of a list of his informants, or his publication of a list 
of informants, accurate or not, and malicious or not, does not in itself 
warrant Yahya's wrongful arrest, detention, imprisonment, or murder of any person 
or persons in such list. In other words, I rather hold Yahya to a higher 
standard of due-diligence than I do Nderry. This is even if I believe Yahya to be 
aversed by Nderry's informants. I encourage you therefore to de-link Nderry's 
crimes of slander and libel and gaucherie, from Yahya's pre-dispositions and 
or actions. Do not attach more significance to Nderry than he is due. It is 
a heavy burden for the invalid to have to consider authority of another 
person's ware. He must first be of sound mind and body”. Haruna

Brother the damage of Nderry’s negligence here has been done and innocent people have been victimised. Whether Jammeh did the detention, imprisonment or murder is not and issue of dispute; but would it have happen if Nderry had taken the precautionary measures? This is a question of causation; it would not have happen but for his action or inaction it happened. He was in custody of people’s personal information how that ended up in Jammeh’s hands is still a mystery to me. At the end of the day people suffered while Pa Nderry benefited by gaining his refugee status in the US. What a coincidence!

“As to Free On-Line Tabloid, this outfit does serve a value. Not to me of 
course but to the Life of credence. Remember that The Daily Observer, itself a 
tabloid, operates in a lawless atmosphere replete with gossip, slander, and 
innuendo. It is in this quest that it sought to violate the rights to privacy 
of a peer tabloid, the Free On-Line, by surreptitiously publishing the 
latter's list of correspondents without necessary due-diligence in vetting for value 
and accuracy. And, the desire or intent to do harm therefore to any in the 
list, is the domain of The daily Tabloid. I wonder if you're with me. In 
effect, The Free On-Line Tabloid did not exhibit intent, nor did it act on 
perceived intent by supplying the list to the The Daily Tabloid. Might we therefore 
conclude, that whatever our impression of Nderry, the crimes of arrest, 
detention, and murder, or accessory thereto, have not been completed. Now this 
does not speak to the colour or character of the persons on Nderry's database”. Haruna

In fact Bro, freedom newspaper first published the list before observer copied it a day or two later. But this is not just the crime Nderry has committed, Nderry has been using a 'by-line' of Buba Jammeh from state house. In fact there was a soldier from Brikama by that name at the state house, who ended up serving one year in Mile two central prison. But shortly after Sgt Buba Jammeh’s arrest Nderry stopped using that by line on Freedom. What does that tell, certainly from the authorities in Banjul's point of view they had caught the right person? Another point is that how come more than the hundred people, who suffered either directly or indirectly from the freedom newspaper fracas; there was no relative, not even a distance cousin, of Pa Nderry involved. I guess Brother we can call that another coincidence. 

“The only other crime you accuse Nderry of is his affect on the dissolution 
of NADD. I think anything other than disappointment in Nderry will be 
stretching it a bit as regards NADD. No one is to blame for the dissolution of NADD 
but the parties to the conversation that was NADD. Further, no one is to be 
commended for any achievements of NADD but the parties to the NADD 
conversation. Besides, Nderry, believing he has as much of an interest in NADD as You, 
Tunkara, or myself, reserves a right to affect the quality and character of any 
NADD, with or without our demonstration of our own interests and their 
scope. I encourage you to indemnify Nderry of any liability or credit for NADD and 
its ware. The NADD participants are persons of major age and of sound body 
and mind”. Haruna

Brother Pa Nderry cannot be indemnified of NADD dissolution, he was running a public medium where he carelessly allowed every Tom and Jerry to express their personal vendetta against the coalition members; this generates animosity in any coalition. It is true that NADD members did contribute to the dissolution of NADD but freedom did not help. There is a room for contemplation that Pa Nderry did not want NADD to work, simply if they had won the election he would not have succeeded in his Asylum claim in the United States.

“I do believe Nderry has committed the crimes of libel and slander against 
some persons, including yourself and Abdoukarim among many others. The question 
then becomes; How you the aversed hold Nderry liable for crimes on your 
persons. But I do not believe he has committed any crime against NADD (an 
intractable victim), the persons in his list of "informants" who fell prey to 
other's illegal actions, or for the mere proprietorship of a Free On-Line Tabloid. 
The outfit risks committing fraudulent agency and benign decrepitude, but 
those are the same crimes The Daily Tabloid commits. Now then in the realm of 
comparative crimes, I submit that the two tabloid are generically antidotes of 
each other”. Haruna

Brother I’m glad you acknowledged that truth that Pa Nderry is a criminal. The crimes he committed against me; Karim, Sadibu Jadama, Sheriff Bojang, Mr Low, Fatoumata Jahumpa, PK Jarju, Yorro Jallow, Muhamed Jawara, Yankuba Jambamg, the list goes on. Brother these crimes are still pending; if only I was in America I would have been in court with Pa Nderry. How do you think people view us now? It is a scar that we carry with us every day. It worried Sheriff Bojang so much that he had to call Nderry to beg him. People don’t  know the fear Pa Nderry has instilled in the minds of ordinary Gambians. People call me like I had an accident, every one was worried about me like “Njalahirr” has knocked at my door, but that is the Cruelty of Pa Nderry!

We can agree to disagree; but Pa Nderry in my books is a criminal just like his accomplish Yahya Jammeh! And I will never agree to the alternative!

Brethren Yanks
