                Subject:        TOBASKI PETITION

                List Members,
                It was reported in the Saudi times that a petition received from
The
                Gambia signed by the Jagne!s, Jobe!s, Jeng!s and Faal!s
appealing for a
                repeal of the tobaski feast to be held every month instead of
once every
                year. A reply  which originated from the palace and signed by
Sheikh
                Abdul Habib Ghanim regrets to inform the undersigned that the
feast of
                Tobaski is celebrated only once every year. On receipt of this
reply,
                the  Jengs, Jagnes, Jobes and Faals have decided to go on hunger
strike
                for the Tobaski. The question is Can they manage ? Happy Tobaski
to all.

                Chi Jamma, Bro Sheikh Tejan Nyang.
