Dear Gambians: It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Kabirr Njie et, al. are linking me to Mr. Lamin Tunkara, precisely because my last name is Sankareh(also spelled Sankara in Francophone countries) .While Mr. Lamin Conteh has treid to explain that we are two different persons, the accusation remains unabated.Therefore, in accord with civilized behaviour, I requested to be registered on the L to help bring sanity to the orchestrations. My Njie, you and your colleagues are invited to Raleigh, NC to come visit me.I am resposible for your round-trip visit to Raleigh, if upon arrival, I am not able to show you Lamin Tunkara. During my student days at N. C. State University, I enlisted on the L. However, It came to a stage that the postings were so personal that I told Dr. Saine to deregister me.Since then, I have not personally posted any piece. Although, I have seen most of my work forwarded by Joe and I have no qualms with that. Over the years I have read Gambians writing profane literature about other people's parents. I cannot personally be a party to that, and I am urging whoever is behind this malicious link between me and Tunkara to please deal with Tunkara and leave me alone. If under Yahya Jammeh's kakistocratic AFPRC I did not use a pen name, why on earth would I use a pen name in the US with its latitude of freedom? Mr. Njie, for your information, I was a Civil Servant- a teacher of English at Saints while at the same time wrting for the acerbic Point Newspaper and simultaneously reporting for both the BBC & Radio Deutche Welle. Never have I ever used a pen name nor will I ever use one. I used to tell my colleagues at The Point albeit with a great sense of humour, that there may be many Ebrima Sankarehs, but I am the ONLY Ebrima G. Sankareh. Note the G!! Besides, if any one has a sense of history, Sankareh is so sweet a name to be mortgaged for another. It will constitute a betrayal of family history that dates back to the early empires of the Western Sudan.Sankareh is not a borrowed name, it has a place in the gallery of African history.Now henceforth, if you ever come across a piece written by Ebrima Sankareh it is not mine, because all my work has that distinct trade mark G!! I hope this will be the last nail of the Sankareh/Tunkara/Sankara story. Your fellow Gambian, Ebrima G. Sankareh. Raleigh, NC. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
