My Dear Gambia-lers, Below is a private mail sent to me by the so-called
MATARR NJIE who used to send private mails full of insults to EBOU COLLY. He
also copied it to REX KING who gave a beautiful comment on the issue. He
once sent me also a private mail insulting me for denouncing MORON JAMMEH.
Whether he claims to be KALILU CAMARA, MOMODOU SILLAH or someone else, he is
a damn coward and scared to come out in open and defend MORON JAMMEH, but
rather chose to hide behind a Berlin Wall of ignorance and try to provoke
genuine people who are totally committed to the struggle. Let him continue
hiding behind MORON JAMMEH'S BERLIN WORLD of ignorance. Their days are
numbered. STRUGGLE MUST CONTINUE.
