Adama, thanks for bringing this sad event to our attention.  To George,
Mary, the staff of RadioOne FM, and Dargma and Astrid, I am deeply sadden by
this cowardly and barbaric act that was conducted to snuff the voice of the
people.  I am with you'll in mind and spirit and your efforts toward the
liberation of our country will not be forgotten.  May you'll have the
strength to keep on marching with us to victory.  The hour may be dark but
victory is yours to keep.  George, speedy recovery, and rest assured that
your family in the liberation struggle are with you always.  I know it's too
early to speculate, however, using the environment and recent happenings as
my guide, this act has the Beast's writing all over it.  But this will not
stop the people.  There are many Georges yahya will have to deal with, so
it's on.

Chi Jaama

Joe Sambou
