Editor Mbai,

Thanks for working with us. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all those are participating in the petition drive. Perhaps those that are criticizing whom I respect very well are not aware that we are running a fund-raising drive for both Ms. Fatou Jaw-Manneh and Mr. Chief Ebrima Manneh jointly. Such a fund-raising drive's letter was sent to all the online media outlets and it has been running for more than a month now. Editor Mbai, you attest to that fact. So far, we collected at least US$180.00.

Ebrima Kamara Reacts To Michael’s Piece on Dr. Dampha!!

“Mr. Scales “goodwill” for Gambia and Africa is not intended to be on Gambia’s or on Africa’s terms but on his terms. The conditions or the needs of Africa, the one presumed to benefit, does not count or taken into consideration, what matters is the “givers” stance and definition of what Africa needs. Africa has nothing to say than to be thankful for whatever she gets. That is why; Mr. Scales is not only defining Dr. Dampha´s duty for him but also advising him not to bite the hand that fed him his knowledge. Watch out Dr. Dampha for your any attempt to redefine your position or the condition of Gambia, Africa is liable to biting the very hand that fed you your abundant knowledge.” Ebrima Kamara writes from Sweden Stockholm. He was reacting to Michael Scales’s on Dr. Dampha’s interview with Journalist M L Drammeh. Below is the full text of Kamara’s letter to the Editor. Please read on..

Editorial: Another Coup In The Gambia?

Why The Army Is A Wrong Place For The Mandingka Ethnic Group?

Officers of the men and women of The Gambia Armed Forces-most importantly those belonging to the Mandingka tribe should open their eyes. President Jammeh is posed to jail and kill potential Mandingka officers, be it commissioned or non commissioned officers. From 1994 to date, Mandingka officers account for the greatest number of soldiers to be arrested, killed and in some instances exiled on bogus allegations of coup plot. Just this past week, a coup plot was reportedly uncovered by the NIA. Most of the soldiers arrested were Mandingkas. No Jolla was arrested, leading to speculations that President Jammeh had a special agenda against the Mandingkas. That he wants to make sure that the army becomes a no go area for Mandingkas. That, for Jammeh to rule comfortably, he wants to get rid of long term and short term potential threats in the military.
