Karim,
 
Thanks for sharing with us and adding your voice in the matter before us.  
Indeed, Carnegie Minerals have assured us that they have satisfied Gambia's  
environmental concerns and remediation after their exploratory phase was  
approved and certified by the NEA. Carnegie did not forget to inform us that  Gambia 
was excited at the results of their remediation. I have no qualms with  that. 
And to add to what you share, sustainable development = economic growth. I  am 
confident the Gambia NEA will take your ideas into advisement.
 
Thank you again for adding your voice here. I encourage you to stay with us  
as we determine the course of events in our lives.
 
Haruna. Much obliged.

Sanusi and Lamin Darboe are the show of litigational  matters and with my 
limited litigational issues I don't have much comment  about the issues other 
that issues relating environmental impact issues of  mining in a coast line 
margin. I am just wandering Gambia need more rogue  Environmental Legislation that 
can address sustainable development issues  which entails economic growth but 
also environmental protection. Mining  mineral a fragile coast margin requires 
strategic planning-Programmes, Planing  and policies and in this occasion 
such factors are not look into. Our country  need to put in place more relevant 
environmental legislation and land use  planning guidance for mineral 
extraction, building, tourism, agriculture and  conservation through which we can 
impose development control and resolute  conflict and drive sustainable national 
legal policy  formulation.

Hello Simon,

I am in receipt of your response which I attach for my  fellow citizens.

I wish to thank you for acknowledging us and we  understand your position and 
predisposition. We regret that both Yahya  & CO. and Carnegie are averse to 
recognising the citizens of Gambia as  unique party to your current 
dispute/misunderstanding, ample evidence to  the contrary notwithstanding.

I am also aware of efforts by both  Carnegie Minerals and Yahya & Co. 
attempting to coerce proprietors and  editors of Gambia online newspapers to 
do their 
bidding. I discourage my  fellow citizen proprietors of Gambia online news 
services from yielding to  such coercive advances. This is a landmark case 
which 
has sobering  precedence. We must not sell our souls for material 
considerations from  unscrupulous entities. 

by copy of this note, I encourage Mr. Ousman  Sillah, Mr. Lamin Darboe, Mr. 
Bakary Conteh, Mr. Chongan, Mr. Sanusi  Owens, Mr. Halifa Sallah, Mr. 
Ousainou 
Darboe, Ms. Mariam Denton, to  consider engaging other appropriate fellow 
citizens, proficient in law and  jurisprudence, and form themselves into a 
Citizen 
Legal Defense team with  a view to protecting the interest of the citizens of 
Gambia. I will  volunteer, along with desiring citizens and online Gambia 
newspaper  editors, to form ourselves into the Public Relations arm of such 
an  
entity.

Lamin, please inform me if you are amenable to leading such  an adhoc team of 
distinguished legal advocates. I will begin raising funds  for such an 
endeavour. I encourage my fellow citizens in public fora to  speak their 
minds and 
show support for forming for our  defense.

Sincerely,
Haruna  Darbo

Hi  Haruna
I do hope you are well, my name is Simon Elliott and I am an MD at  the PR 
company FD. One of my clients is Carnegie Minerals  plc.

Thank you for your note of 22 February. Having taken legal counsel  
regarding the referred to mining license, we have been advised that it  would 
be 
inappropriate to send you a copy while the legal case against the  company 
and our 
colleague is ongoing. We will however review this once the  case has 
concluded.

Meanwhile thank you for your  support,
Simon
