Pierre,
Kindly allow me to make some, shall I say corrigendum? Well you seem to be
writing about Baa  Trawalley in connection with the Torch newspaper. Perhaps
you mean Sana Manneh because he is the one details in your posting match.
However, Baa was one of the radical Journalists that spearheaded some
anti-colonial organisations in the pre-independence period.
