Finally, the editor of the Gambia Echo (GE) had done it - to cut-out Suntou from contributing any story, whatever topic it might be. This is very unfortunate because the decision looked as if it was based on sentiment, and the purported story used as a justification.
What actually baffles me is to sever all links with him, but at the same time, nothing is being said about Arm-Chair Lt. Col who started all the fuss. What a world we live in!! Sometimes i cannot imagine what a Gambia we would have had if certain individuals were in charge. Mr. Sankareh, you need to be cautious of that Arm-Chair Lt. Col.
This is the guy who served in the Jawara government and was in a position of responsibility. As soon as the 'new sun' rises, he started bathing in it. I do not have any qualms with that, but to then go on to castigate the same people tantamounts to ungratefulness.
Under the 'new sun' (i.e. Jammeh regime), he served as the head of the Gambia Armed Forces. I personally would have kept my mouth shut if the ungrateful Sam does not start his ranting that military takeovers are criminal - which i agreed, but why did he then go on to serve under the same criminal regime? As if that is not enough, his own fallen brothers who allegedly tried to unseat Jammeh are now being ridiculed by him. Today, he despised Jammeh even more than Jawara.
After being booted, he now sees himself as some kind of an endangered specie. Now in USA, he started sending postings to Freedom Online Newspaper. Whatever happens, only Sarr and Pa knew, but he deserted Pa and moved to Gainako. What next, he started alleging that Lamarana was Major Jongan's driver or even Jongan himself (a decent man) being behind the pseudonym without any proof.
As the going gets tough for him at Gainako, he again fled. After a brief silence, he re-surfaced at Gambia Echo (a safehaven for him). So Mr. Sankareh, this is an overview of your patron's curriculum vitae. Know that he does not only desert, but he throws back sand into the eyes of people who once mattered to him.
Before i conclude, i would like to beg Sam to send Sankareh a new civilian picture of himself and stop posing in our Army Uniform. May i also ask Sankareh to reconsider his decision on shutting the door to Suntou (not that there are not other outlets), but Suntou is very resourceful. Thank you.

Thank you buba. for your information Sankareh wrote to let the debate proceed ,that is, if i wish to take part in any further discussion. he will take a back seat and enjoy the exchanges. he appologise to his many fans,friends and readers for any misunderstanding. it is up to concerned gambians to debate the matter further. wherever i feel necessity to partake ,i will not hesitate to do so
Buba ,you are a brilliant writer ,if need be engage sarr to clarify matters where necessary. i recieved lots of mails from readers on my part in the debate .but in all honesty i just wanted to help sarr realise the potential problems with his style of writing. Gambians have moved on from self-promotional types. we all have an idea of a subject and a subject matter is. if sarr still wish to tell us about his quest to become an American citizen and that he works ,we will be very disappointed in him. That shows that our one time army Commander is openly being disloyal to our pride.be an american citizen sam but please keep it quite. |

Apparently , lets wait for Mr. Saidy-khan's piece, part II
http://www.freedomnewspaper.com/Homepage/tabid/36/mid/367/newsid367/2814/On-Sam-Sarr-Ethnic-Nationalism-and-the-Quest-for-a-Gambian-Nation--Saul-Saidy-Khan-Writes/Default.aspx
The question now is what other names is he using? But apparently Sam has a problem with others using pen names. With me, Sam can use any pen name. That is ok, but others use it, he should also accept it.
What even beats my imagination, he tries to bring the editor of that paper into the debate. That indeed is very hypocritical. He can force the relation all he wants in order to put someone else in the picture, Gainako will never get that low. I, personally, I am privy to more things that over time...if i spill the beans, people will know of the ones we are dealing with. It is not my way to take personal debates. There is a bigger picture.
If people can be crooks at the smaller levels, there is no limitation to which they cannot be crooked. This friend that called me yesterday, asking me to invite Sam for interview regarding Sam's mal-treatment of the Farafenni attackers. May be he needs to shed light on that.
Sam knows Gainako got a forum with over 400,000.00 hits a month. Had we taken to arrogance, we can easily do it with all the mightiness of our strength.
"A clear conscience fears no accusation." Cheik Anta Jobe
Here what I think Sam should do; just my humble advise like i said here before---
He should apologize to Dr. Manneh now that it is proven that he indeed had a pHD, along side all the others he is offending without an iota of truth, the generalization of "tribalism" on Mandinkas.
All contributors here are more than welcome to sent comments to Gainako or debate it here -including Sam himself. Gainako has agreed to shoulder the debate to whereever it ends.
Have a good day to all bantaba readers!!!

The likes of Sanna and many others tried to get groomed at Gainako. We refused to be used by anyone. Even where we disagreed with them, we will respect their opinions and will fight for the rights they have. Even though I had a bitter lash with Sabally , I was the first to disagree that he should be taken to the gallows. Alongside the accusation that Sanna had a hand in Kroro's death when he was in mile two at the time. That accusation is very inaccurate.
The healing process starts with the dispensation of the whole truth without fear or favor. Those that are wrong needs to confess , apologize and wait for justice, so they submit themselves for what wrongs they did. We cannot deny anyone justice including Yaya jammeh himself.
For all I know, these criminals are embedded in the society walking scot-free. They want to change history to lay the blame on only a few when they are hiding skeletal nibs in their cupboards. History will not change the facts in the growing need for correct information. We are beyond that age.

Hi Dalton,
You really made my day!!! Editorial biasness should be avoided at all costs. I do not know how you jounalists are guided, but we accountants have code of ethics. One important ethical issue deals with independence - that is an accountant/auditor must not only be independent, but must be seen to be independent.
Therefore, it is very heartning to hear about words of impartiality coming from Gainako. Guys, you doing good work, keep it up. |

| I just read the writings of saul saidy and my god a great reply if I may use that adjective. It is gobsmackingly apt. There goes the sally no one has absolute hold on the history of a whole nation and even if it is a small one as the Gambia is we are not going to accept such piracy and monopolization of our current affairs or the legacy of our nation in history by such a person as we suspect to have dirty hands for that matter.Saul go on then give us more juice cammmmooooooon |

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your presence. Your pen is very sharp. Trust me, Foroyaa will cheer you up for this statement of yours. Remember in one of their editorials when they argued that justice must not only prevail but it must be seen to done. This is the strenth of your statement.Thanks for accompanying the debate.
Uncle Suntou,
Apparently, Lamin Darboe of the UK did good in his rejoinders. Please share them here as time permits, just for the records for easy access and for the many others not subscribed in the other forums.. Regards,

You are welcome my dearest uncle.
It saddened me of your situation. By that I mean you fought a true war. It shows how selfless you are. I am sure you are not related to Dr. Manneh or Dr.Saho. You could have enjoyed your fulani threads here and avoid being a victim of a devil. But no, you chose to fight for a dead man, and a man whose character is being tarnished.
For all I know, you can relax now, if you want on this debate. You have done your part and it will serve as an eye-opener to the many others. If only we have many like you, ours will be a nice world. Sorry, I don't mean to drive you out of this forum. This is just my feelings at the moment with a very heavy heart after I reviewed the start of the debate and how it escalated in the hand of someone supposedly threading with you and know you to finger-tips but presented you as a pseudo. That is not honesty. My argument that if people can manupulate the little things, then check for the bigger things they produce (handle it with caution)--it cannot be clean. The honest fact is whether they admit to be subcribed here or even the others that make us believe they are not in the forum, I belief they read you more than you read your own threads. Something is choking me in my heart, desire to blaze fuel. Like Dr. King would argue, 'injustice to one is injustice to all.' See something that started with Dr. manneh, creeped to Suntou, then others, then others.....now here is a deal. If people think these things are too little to fight for then just give it a moment till it creeps to their friends or family members....that's when you hear a shout.
Wasalam...
Regards,
Dalton... |
