Amadou Kabir:
Thanks for putting this Simon Talibou Sanneh/ Cheyassin Secka stuff in its
proper perspective. I have been truly enlightened by your revealing piece on
Kukoi and Co. And, to tell you the truth, my source did send me another
e-mail earlier on, saying exactly some of the things you are saying in your
piece, but I decided to withhold it, thinking that members of the L might
say that my sources are just attacking Cheyassin from all angles, simply
because he is trying to lock up or remand Ousainou Darbo.
In fact, I have also been sent the "list" containing the names of people
targetted for "elimination" in the Gambia, before the next Presidential
election, but I wasn't sure whether I should send it to the L now.
Ous Bojang & Ebou Jallow: Thanks for your comments. I am glad that some of
the people on the L are appreciating the postings being sent by my sources.
They have a lot more to reveal, they told me. And the good news is that
"some friends of the Gambia" have bought me a new computer and a modem so
that I can have an Internet access at home. The Computer, hopefully, will be
installed in my home some time next week. So, Gambia-L, tell Yaya Jammeh
that he better be ready for my sources now that I am about to a computer
with an internet access at home (laugh).
Saul Khan: I am enjoying your profiles on "these criminals". Keep it up!
Also, I am so glad that you, Buharry and Kebba Dampha have moved on. I know
both Brothers Buharry and Kebba Dampha and both of them mean well and have
genuine concerns for the Gambia. Equally, you too mean well and have genuine
concerns for the Gambia. So, let us just try and join hands together and
work towards saving our motherland.
Ebrima Ceesay
