My humble relative I know you knows my family
background in Brikama but that is not the issue.The
topic is the criminal government back home.They make
us to wander the world like fulani cattle because of
their repressive rule.It is interesting to class me as
arrogant and lack self respect. Brother conteh, I
belief in freedom of speech and expression and the
essence of that ideals is to write or tell people what
they don't want to hear.I know if I insult you, the
list owners will caution me.My remark is that do you
want to join sycophants and intellectual prostitutes
that are strengthening the hand of the devil.I respect
you ever with the fact we may have differences with
the way events back home are folding.Thanks for making
me know that we are relatives.I know my Grandfather
the late Abdou Karim Sanneh senior  of Brikama,is
closely relate to the conteh, sanyang and Fofana
family in Faraba-banta and Pirang.
