Baba, thanks for extending this tragic assault at the Independent Newspaper.
  Folks, this is very serious and we have to do whatever we can to come to
the aid of the Independent Newspaper for it is the only source of news from
Gambia for us in the Diaspora.  If anyone is interested in exploring ways to
help the independent press, please send me a private mail.  There is
something we can do to play our part.  Thanks for your consideration in this
matter.

>Dear Friends,
>More tragic news from home. The offices of The Independent newspaper were

>petrol all over the place and set it on fire. Fortunately, they were
>unable to get into the building because of the timely intervention of more

>They however succeeded in burning everything outside the office including
