Jabou,
I'cant agree with you more .It is time for those of us (including myself) who
continue to dream about free and fair
elections,without considering other alternatives,to wake up from our dreams and
face reality that the dream
is getting gloomier by the day and time is running out. There is no light at the
end of this tunnel.

Subject: Re: RADIO ONE FM ON FIRE-
What do we suppose is next in this country of ours that has been
taken over
by terrorists? This is no legitimate and respectable government,
but a band
of outlaws who have let loose their thugs throughout the land,
to attack
anyone who dares to be on the side of truth.
Do we still believe that we are dealing with people who one can
reason with,
and whom one can try to negotiate with and address as if they
know the
protocol of governing? I think it is now abundantly clear that
what we have
here are criminals who have hijacked our country, and every
day, we witness
more and more criminal acts directed at the Gambian people.
However, even as we bemoan another heinous act, the defenders of
this
criminal regime intensify their charade, scurrying here and
there, telling us
how fortunate we are that we have a school or two built, that
those in charge
are good guys, and it is other elements that are responsible for
these
criminal and unforgivable acts against our people and our
country. I think
anyone who thinks that these are a group of people to approach
in the normal
manner must be out of their minds.It looks like the
desensitzation continues,
kidnappings and dissappearances , murdered children, and now,
the invasion
and burning of private property.It is a process that will
continue and each
new criminal act becomes worse than the other. It is time for
all Gambians
who profess to care to come forward and be a part of the
solution before we
are relegated to being a part of the problem.

Glers,
The owner and proprietor of Radio One FM,George Christensen
escaped with
substantial burns to his face and body when his radio station
was attacked
this morning by unidentified thugs.Between 3.00 and 3.30am
today 8/10/2000
close to ten unidentified men armed with teargas and
petrol(gasoline)surrounded the studios of Radio One FM on
Kairaba Avenue in
an attempt to burn the station down. The gallant watch man
raised an alarm
and wrestled the thugs.The lights were smashed and teargas was
used to blind
the eyes of the occupants,after which the station was set on
fire.
The latest reports indicate that the rest of the staff on duty,
including
the DJ escaped unharmed. George Christensen is currently at a
medical
facility receiving treatment for burns he suffered as a result
of this
henious act.
This is the situation as it stands now. May God save our
country.
Thanks,
Dagmar
