Sams, No hard feelings from this end! But you missed your facts when you claimed that Mr. Sarjo Jallow was approached for the post of ambassador to Nigeria and he accepted. I don't know about the other guy you mentioned, but, contrary to what you informed us on Gambia-L, and in all truthfulness, Mr. Sarjo Jallow was NEVER approached on the issue. He read his appointment on The Observer! I agree with you that he is one very simple and humble man, who did what he could. Fact:He was in a government that snuffed the lives of 12 young people in a fleeting moment. Fact: He was that government's official spokesperson. Let us hope that Mr. Jallow stays put and uses this time to reflect on an atonement formula! Have a wonderful weekend!
