Cousin Prince,

I commend you for this significant achievement by ASTAF. Tenacity and diligence are the keywords for progress.

I would not spend too much time on fears ASTAF would be labelled tribalist as to our Sarahule bretheren. If Sarahules are the only ones who see value in such an honourable effort, then by Allah let it be a Sarahule organization. I encourage you to continue outreach to other ethnicities of Gambia as you are already doing. If you allow listless chatter to corrode your efforts, you may not be able to ever yield commoner relief.

Best wishes for success and the consolidation of the Gambian family unit.

Haruna.

Subject: Thank You All. Our Morale Boosting News

Pleasant Weekend to you all,

I would like to start by thanking Maafanta.com, Jollofnews.com, 
Senegambianews.com, Gainako.com, HelloGambia.com for carrying the maiden press 
release of Alikuning Society For The African Family (ASTAF). In this free world 
of media pluralism, it is encouraging to see alternative channels of dialogue 
and access.


It is my pleasure to inform you of the first concrete achievements of Alikuning.


Some key members of the Sarahuleh Communities in Angola, D.R. Congo and other 
countries I will NOT name here have agreed to raise funds for the construction 
of a technical school (Institute of Technology) in The Gambia by Alikuning.


A piece of land has already been secured in URR and once the funds reach the 
substantial amount for the construction of the buildings and procurement of 
educational materials, work will start in earnest.


I will use the time to get quotations from architects and construction firms to 
be on the stand-by modus.


You will all bear with me witness that Alikuning is open to all human beings who 
accept the articles of its constitution. I will personally castrate any 
hate-preacher who goes about gossiping that Alikuning is a Sarahulleh tribalist 
organization. If she is a woman, she can pick her own punishment. The choice of 
a Mandinka name (Alikuning) for our organization speaks for itself.



I invited people to join and did my best to explain my motives but no one should 
expect me to lick his/her boots and also beg people to join or support us. If my 
Sarahulleh people in and out of The Gambia decide to take the lead by opening 
their wallets and treasuries, this does not create room for pettiness and the 
typical hypocritical Gambian attitude. No one is stopping others from sharing 
our commitment to Enlightenment through Alikuning.



Thanks. I am looking forward to inviting you all to the official opening of our 
Institute of Technology (final official name will be confirmed later) within the 
next 24 to 36 months; all things remaining equal.

Once again thanks to all those who welcomed Alikuning.

XA NAWARI MAAREMU!

Prince Bubacarr Sankanu
