Dear Suntou,
   
  It's think that Colonel Sam Sarr's piece on tribal politics in the Gambia manifested that he had some personal beef with the late Drs Saho and Manneh respectively, among others. Sam's attempts to discredit the said departed gentlemen only exposed the pettiness in him. Otherwise, why should a so-called gentleman that sam is reputed to be question or speculate on the authenticity of the academic credentials of a person who will not be able to defend himself. Islam forbids Moslems to speak ill of the living or dead except that which is true. It seems to me that he has triggered discussion on this important yet potentially divisive theme from a wrong footing.

  have a read and carefully analyse the man.he has some thing to say.may be 
my understanding is a bit low but what is sam trying to tell the Gambian public 
on the internet ? he is free from tribalism and his family are also free from it 
but the late Dr saho is not,Dr manneh is not,sm dibba is not,dk jawara is not 
etc.he also wish to tell us that the doctorate degree of both manneh and 
saho are dubious .may be some of you can make more sense out sarr 
here.since he so educated ,he wouldn't wish to deal with me.
please read his article carefully ,you may be affected by his comments ,i mean 
your parent's name may have been mention but let us be open minded about 
this and get some fruit from the topic.
i am disappointed in that sam at some point make the topic about himself and 
his experiences not bad but in a national debate ,we shouldn't become the 
subject matter.
