>>
>>Following our investigations, we have found that our lead story of
>>Sunday, May 4 captioned, "Gambian High Commissioner Declared
>>Persona Non Grata", contained several factual errors.
>>
>>1. Contrary to the report, Mr Ebou Taal has not travelled to the
>> United Kingdom recently;
>>
>>2. Mr Ebou Taal has not been declared persona non grata by the
>> British authorities;
>>
>>3. Mr Ebou Taal has never been convicted for embezzlement;
>>
>>4. Mr Taal was ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to
>> Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde and Guinea Conakry and not
>>consul-general.
>>
>>It has also been brought to our notice that Mr Taal is the doyen of
>>The Gambia's diplomatic service and has contributed invaluably to
>>the creation of the service.
>>
>>Mr Taal has served in The Gambia's civil service since 1966. He
>>served as ambassador to Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg,
>>Italy, the European Commission (Brussels), permanent
>>representative to FAO (Rome), first permanent secretary Ministry
>>of External Affairs and head of diplomatic service, Senegambian
>>secretariat, and the African Development Bank.
>>
>>Mr Taal has been a mentor to many Gambians who served, or are
>>serving in distinguished positions in The Gambia and abroad. He is
