Joe:

I don't see anything wrong with Mr. Fye.  In fact, I think what he evokes should
be commended.  What is wrong with someone intimating that yahya is using
Jolas to be indifferent?  Tell me if a single Jola who has been accused of
corruption ever was arrested.

While I commend you for your numerous contributions, I am really concern that
you get upset when one mentions the word "Jola."  What is wrong with that?  It
is true that a lot of Jolas and other tribes benefited from Jammeh's trabilim.

We should conclude that this tribal sentiment has to stop.  May be you should be
the first person to condemn tribalism.  By the way, why did you visit Tejan
Ceesay at the Gambian Embassy in DC.  Should this not be a concern to Gambians?
Can we trust you?  Are you sleeping with the enemy?

Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh

Joe,
Welcome back! Yaya Jammeh is a tribalist, armed murderer, Armed thief, Tony
Daabaa and Armuumin. He killed our brothers, children and countinue to
harass,
Torture, intimidate, exile and punishing a whole nation. Am I now an
ignorant and no more a fool? Can you forward the mail I said that the first
rebuplic harassed me? Where did Ebou Jallow send his mail? Can you answer to
these questions? Nothing can change my stance that Yaya is a tribalist!

Elhajj
