Haruna Darbo Presents $200 dollars Donation To Momodou Justice Darboe!!
Atlanta-Georgia:7/2008-The Management of the Freedom Newspaper want to thank Mr. Haruna Darbo, Chief Executive officer of the Georgia based Global Democracy Project (GDP) for donating $200 dollars to our National Correspondent Momodou Justice Darboe, who recently survived an assassination attempt. “ On behalf of the Editorial Board of the Freedom Newspaper, I want to thank Mr. Darboe for his kind gesture. We appreciate his magnanimity and commitment towards the struggle. Mr. Darboe is a man of his words and had proven to be a true supporter of press freedom. We at the Freedom Newspaper valued his help and therefore call on Gambians to emulate Darboe.” Said Freedom’s Managing Editor Pa Nderry M’Bai.
Mr. M’Bai adds that Justice Darboe put his life on the line by serving the Freedom Newspaper faithfully and honestly. “ Thanks to Mr. Darboe, you were able to read most of the lead stories on Freedom. If he is in trouble for exposing enemies of freedom, we should stand by him. Darboe is a true son of The Gambia. He deserves your support. Darboe could have equally played a low profile while in The Gambia, but he decided to serve the greater interest of The Gambian people, by sending reliable and up-to-date news to the Freedom Newspaper. We salute him for his gallantry.” Said Editor M’Bai.
Finally, Editor M'Bai once again thanked Haruna Darbo for extending helping hand to a staffer of his paper. “ We call on other Gambians to emulate Mr. Darbo. The Freedom Newspaper is here for all Gambians- irrespective of one’s political affiliation. In as much as we welcome donors, the paper’s editorial stance remains unchanged. No outside party can dictate to us how to run our paper. We are an independent Newspaper, observing the highest ethics of journalism.” Editor M’Bai concludes.
