GL-ers,
I am forwarding the following from Alieu Ceesay hoping that the points he
has raised will be considered by all based on their merit, especially in the
light of what has transpired on the L in recent days, vis-a-vis the
suspension of the subscription rights of Yus and the subsequent
re-instatement of those rights.
I am of the opinion that the subscriptions of Alieu Ceesay, Hasanatou Barry,
FJC and any other person, whose subscription to the list has been suspended
for similar reasons, should be restored forthwith. It is very unfair and an
indication of non-decisiveness to revoke the suspension of Yus's
subscription rights, citing violations of measures put in place by the list
managers that he ought to have known, whilst leaving others in the cold,
knowing full well that what ever crimes they may have committed are not more
serious than Jow's. A rule for one should be a rule for all!
Have a good day, Gassa.

>I would like to bring to your attention that I was
>unduly delisted from the list, without warning of any
>sort, on the 25th of September, following my encounter
>with Yusupha Jow. As soon as I noticed that I wasn't
>getting any mail, I wrote privately to the list owner,
>Momodou Camara (with a Blind Copy to Ms. Jabou Jow),
>inquiring about the reason for my delisting from the
>list. As I had expected, Momodou Camara never

>Well, for somebody who grew up in the same village as

>I would have lived with it since I am only an

>My reason for writing to you today is not to cry on

>the injustice and draconian laws of the list managers.
>Their appreciation of injustice is not shared by me,
>given their draconian laws and unpricipled decision to
>delist me. This kind of hypocrisy and heavy handedness
>is not approriate in any public forum where democracy
>is preached. My earlier question to Momodou Camara
>still remains to be: What have I done, to be so
>severely punished, especially at this critical time of
>our country's history, when everyone's voice needs to
>be heard?
>
>Over the past couple of weeks, I have read, through
>the web interface, the kind of garbage and motherly
>insults that were being thrown around the list for all
>to read, yet not a word from the list management was
>heard until the damage was already done. But as soon
>as I opened my mouth, they tried to shut it becasue it
>is the 'JOW' family. Is this not hypocrisy at its
>best? Different strokes for different folks? Where, in
>any of my exchanges with Yusupha Jow, did I use the
>kind of language that was totally disgusting and/or
>out of line? I suspect my deletion from the list to be
>the work of either Momodou Camara and/or Soffie
>Ceesay, simply becasue these two names were mentioned
>by Yusupha Jow in one of his postings.

>Momodou Camara and Soffie Cessay, I respect you both
>and, for this reason, hope that you will do the right
>thing and resubscribe me, or at least have the decency
>to tell me why I was delisted. If you can resubscribe
>Yusupha Jow, simply because of pressure from list
>members, then you can resusbcribe me becasue I did not
>use any undecent language on any list member or list
>member's family. Furthermore, the list rules that were
>announced on October 5th, came after my deletion. Why
>then am I to be punished for a crime that I didn't
>commit? Like I told Momodou Camara in my private email
>to him, I hope you will "do the right thing".

>This is my last email on this.
