At the bantaba we try to find if any of our regular colleagues goes missing. Am sure many of you will be familiar with MR AMNA. Well he has been guiet for a long time and I kind of wonder if he is okay.
Brother AMNA if you read this message, please let us know about your current situation. I am particularly concern about your whereabout.
Its your brother - Taalibeh

Below is a master piece from Amna it is as current as the events unfolding.
Dear Bev,
I guess you are beginning to see and understanding the dynamics of the current world economic system we live in. I appreciate your concern and efforts in social justice but when you ask/state things like..why we dont set up the educational facilities to create a middle class...my answer always hacks back to the systems inherited and status quo that has been designed and is maintained by all methods.
There is no doubt that The Gambia and other developing countries are tin pot/banana/peanut/groundnut/monkey nut states that are mostly not viable. The monoculture economies are designed for the service and benefit of the colonial master state and master economy. There has been no history of rule of law and democratic governance.
Independence or so called independence is the biggest scam ever pulled. To have a greater understanding of the dilemna and challenges we third worlders face, just go and research the history of Haiti. When Haitian slaves under Toussaint L'Overture rose and defeated a series of French and British forces against them, Toussaint was captured under the false flag of truce, died in jail in France and to recognize the nascent Black Haitian state, the Western world imposed on Haiti the requirement to pay for the losses of the slave masters, several times the country's GDP and made sure/ensured that Haiti remains the poorest and most desolate place on Earth. The lesson to slaves and slave economies is there for posterity.
Now coming back to The Gambia, obviously there is no rule of law, Yaya is an outlaw and renegade but who cares, but if Yaya in his pretend madness should attack western interests like hotels, maybe abduct one or two westerners like the unfolding Diamond saga, the retribution will be swift and sure like Mugabe. If Mugabe had ignored the obvious over distorted land issue in Zimbabwe as he did from 1980 to 1999, he would have continued to be the West's darling despite the fact that his 5th Brigade trained by North Korea reeked havoc on the Matabeleland peoples.
My point is there is no real 'free world" and no real defenders of freedom, human dignity or justice. Sadly the worst perpetrators are the Judases. Jesus was not betrayed by the priests, pharisees and scribes who opposed him but by one of his chosen according to the Gospels. So our worst tormentors are sadly our own.
Salutations.

Kons, thanks for this great reminder. I have enjoyed his contributions like none before, honestly. This is why I miss him greatly.
I have been waiting since I posted this request for him to contact us, unfortunately it is getting closer to my bed time yet no reply from him. I hope he is well and about but may be just busy with other activities.
I will watch out tomorrow, INSHA ALLAH.
Kons, you know you created a euphoria with this kind of character on bantaba. I should warn you not to do this again. You might not survive the level anger people direct at you next time. BE WARNED!! Laught, good night. |

| I have not seen seen his postings since. I hope he is well and secure. Tragedy knows no boundaries and is always closer than you think. This is why we should be each others keeper. |
