Will Sabally apologise?

You've beaten me on this but quintessentially this shows the difference between a refined officer and a little pretentious subaltern. Sana Sabally is an arrogant ignoramus and really insulting the memory of those fine officers who have fallen 11 November 1994.

I won't repeat what you good people had said which is common knowledge, not only Sabally has destroyed and tried but woefully failed to destroy good people who are decent and wants good for the Gambia. Yes I was one of those three officers who were subjected to that trauma of 6 September 1994, an event we have refered to as the night of terror which is well documented. With all this we have maintain our dignity and continue on with our life; for me personally I have forgiven all those who had wronged  me but not necessarily forgotten. Sabally knows that I have forgiven him but I don't need to go into details because innocent people involve in this have done nothing and I dare challenge him to say anything. 

Further, I think that he has failed to realise and grasp the realities of International Human Rights particularly what is happening in Senegal with regards to the prosecution of Hissen Habre. Sabally's victims are around and well able to get him prosecuted in Senegal though some of us are not vindictive he should not test our patience. 

I have hesitated to react but I think any former officer worth his salt who suffered under Sabally should set the records straight. Sana Sabally should ask for forgiveness, no amount of quotes from the Quran or Bible can absolve him from the heinous crimes he has committed against the Gambian State and people especially the personnel of Armed and Security Forces.
