Malanding,

'Balang Baa' is an eGroups mailing list which has been mistakenly associated with the petition drive by Annika, Dumo's wife. She was delegated to distribute the petition in The Gambia and whiles doing so, she wrote a covering letter inferring that 'Balang Baa' mailing list was behind the petition drive instead of Gambia-L. This was published by 'The Point' in its 18th. August issue. I must hasten to add that this was a genuine mistake on Annika's part.

When some of us read the article in 'The Point', we took it up for discussion and concluded that a rectification would be in order, thus Annika's letter and Alpha's subsequent clarification. The covering letter mentioning 'Balang Baa'  concerned only the copies of the petition distributed in the Gambia and that was the main reason why we felt that Annika should communicate the error to those who had received copies with the covering letter. 

We felt that it would only be fair to those who signed the petition that it is distributed under the terms by which signatures were solicited. I hope this clears the air and thanks again to all those who took part.

Regards,

Kabir.
