Dear L-ers
I have followed with great interest for some time now your recent dicussion
on the above subject.
As a follow up on the matter at hand, I did some research on it and found
out an interesting article in the August 22 1993 Issue of the Awake
magazine on this subject under the heading "Why is race such an issue".
I thought it might also be of interest to some of the List's member, to
that end I have attached pages 5 to 8 of the article (as a Windows Write
3.0 document) for any who might be interested.
Thanks for the time and space on the List

*** g93 8/22 5-8 Why is Race Such an Issue? ***Why is Race Such an =
Issue?
EVER since the beginning of recorded history, the idea of =93them=94 and =
=93us=94 has dominated people=92s thinking. Many have convinced =
themselves that they are the only normal people with the right ways of =
doing everything. This is what scientists call ethnocentrism, the idea =
that one=92s own people and ways are the only ones that count.
The ancient Greeks, for example, did not think much of the =
=93barbarians,=94 a term they applied to anyone not Greek. The word =
=93barbarian=94 developed from the way that the foreign tongues sounded =
to Greek ears, like a lot of unintelligible =93bar-bar.=94 The Egyptians =
before and the Romans after also felt superior to peoples other than =
themselves.
For centuries the Chinese called their country Zhong Guo, or the Middle =
Kingdom, because they were convinced that China was the center of the =
world if not of the universe. Later, when European missionaries with red =
hair, green eyes, and ruddy complexion came to China, the Chinese =
branded them =93foreign devils.=94 Likewise, when Orientals first showed =
up in Europe and North America, their slanted eyes and what were =
considered strange customs made them easy targets for ridicule and =
suspicion.
Yet, there is a significant fact to consider, as the book The Kinds of =
Mankind says: =93To believe in one=92s [racial] superiority is one =
thing; to attempt to prove it, by using the findings of science, is =
something else.=94 Efforts to prove that one race is superior to another =
are relatively new. Anthropologist Ashley Montagu wrote that =93the =
conception that there are natural or biological races of mankind which =
differ from one another mentally as well as physically is an idea which =
was not developed until the latter part of the eighteenth century.=94
Why did the issue of racial superiority become so prominent during the =
18th and 19th centuries?
Slave Trade and Race
A major reason is that the profitable slave trade had by then reached =
its apex, and hundreds of thousands of Africans were being taken by =
force and pressed into slavery in Europe and the Americas. Often =
families were broken up, with men, women, and children being sent to =
different parts of the world, never to see one another again. How could =
slave traders and slave owners, most of whom claimed to be Christian, =
defend such inhuman acts?
By propagating the view that black Africans were naturally inferior. =
=93I am apt to suspect all negroes, and in general all other species of =
men to be naturally inferior to the white,=94 wrote 18th-century =
Scottish philosopher David Hume. In fact, Hume claimed that one could =
find =93no ingenious manufactures amongst [Negroes], no arts, no =
sciences.=94
However, such claims were wrong. The World Book Encyclopedia (1973) =
noted: =93Highly developed Negro kingdoms existed in various parts of =
Africa hundreds of years ago. . . . Between 1200 and 1600, a =
Negro-Arabic university flourished at Timbuktu in West Africa and became =
famous throughout Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East.=94 =
Nevertheless, those involved in the slave trade were quick to adopt the =
view of philosophers such as Hume that blacks were a race inferior to =
whites, indeed, even subhuman.
Religion and Race
Slave traders got considerable support for their racist views from =
religious leaders. As early as the 1450=92s, the edicts of Roman =
Catholic popes sanctioned the subjugation and enslavement of =
=93pagans=94 and =93infidels=94 so that their =93souls=94 might be saved =
for =93God=92s Kingdom.=94 Having received the blessing of the church, =
early European explorers and slave traders felt no qualms about their =
brutal treatment of native peoples.
=93In the 1760s, as for many decades to come, black slavery was =
sanctioned by Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Reformed =
churchmen and theologians,=94 says the book Slavery and Human Progress. =
=93No modern church or sect had sought to discourage its members from =
owning or even trafficking in black slaves.=94
Although some of the churches talked about universal Christian =
brotherhood, they also promoted teachings that intensified the racial =
controversy. For example, Encyclopaedia Judaica states that =93it was =
only after lengthy struggles and theological discussions that the =
Spaniards recognized the native races they found in America as men =
endowed with souls.=94
The implication was that so long as the =93souls=94 of the people of =
such native races were =93saved=94 by being converted to Christianity, =
it was unimportant how they were treated physically. And when it came to =
the situation of blacks, many religious leaders argued that they were =
cursed by God anyway. Scriptures were misapplied to try to prove this. =
Clergymen Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, and David Brown, in their =
Bible commentary, assert: =93Cursed be Canaan [Genesis 9:25]=97this doom =
has been fulfilled in the destruction of the Canaanites=97in the =
degradation of Egypt, and the slavery of the Africans, the descendants =
of Ham.=94=97Commentary, Critical and Explanatory, on the Whole Bible.
The teaching that the forefather of the black race was cursed is simply =
not taught in the Bible. The truth is, the black race descended from =
Cush, not Canaan. In the 18th century, John Woolman argued that using =
this Biblical curse to justify the enslaving of blacks, depriving them =
of their natural rights, =93is a supposition too gross to be admitted =
into the mind of any person who sincerely desires to be governed by =
solid principles.=94
Pseudoscience and Race
Pseudoscience also added its voice in an effort to support the theory =
that blacks are an inferior race. The book Essay on the Inequality of =
Races, by the 19th-century French writer Joseph de Gobineau, laid the =
groundwork for many such works to follow. In it, Gobineau divided =
mankind into three separate races in descending order of excellence: =
white, yellow, and black. He claimed that the unique qualities of each =
race were carried in the blood and that thus any mixing through =
intermarriage would result in degradation and loss of the superior =
qualities.
Gobineau argued that once there existed a pure race of white, tall, =
blond-haired, blue-eyed people whom he called Aryans. It was the Aryans, =
he argued, who introduced civilization and Sanskrit to India, and it was =
the Aryans who established the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. =
But through intermarriage with the inferior local people, these =
once-glorious civilizations were lost, along with the genius and fine =
qualities of the Aryan race. The nearest people to pure Aryan still =
remaining, asserted Gobineau, were to be found in northern Europe, =
namely, among the Nordic and, by extension, the Germanic peoples.
Gobineau=92s basic ideas=97the three-race division, the blood lineage, =
the Aryan race=97had no scientific foundation whatsoever, and they are =
completely discredited by today=92s scientific community. Nonetheless, =
they were quickly picked up by others. Among them was an Englishman, =
Houston Stewart Chamberlain, who was so enamored with Gobineau=92s ideas =
that he took up residence in Germany and championed the cause that only =
through the Germans was there hope of preserving the purity of the Aryan =
race. Needless to say, Chamberlain=92s writings became widely read in =
Germany, and the outcome was ugly.
Ugly Outcome of Racism
In his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Adolf Hitler asserted that the =
German race was the Aryan superrace that was destined to rule the world. =
Hitler felt that the Jews, who he said were responsible for sabotaging =
the German economy, were an obstacle to this glorious destiny. Thus =
followed the extermination of Jews and other minorities of Europe, which =
was indisputably one of the darkest chapters of human history. This was =
the disastrous outcome of racist ideas, including those of Gobineau and =
Chamberlain.
Such ugliness was not limited to Europe, however. Across the ocean in =
the so-called new world, the same sort of unfounded ideas brought untold =
suffering to generations of innocent people. Although African slaves =
were finally freed in the United States after the Civil War, laws were =
passed in many states prohibiting blacks from having many of the =
privileges that other citizens enjoyed. Why? White citizens thought that =
the black race did not have the intellectual capacity to participate in =
civic duties and government.
Just how deeply such racial feelings were entrenched is illustrated by a =
case involving an antimiscegenation law. This law prohibited marriages =
between blacks and whites. In convicting a couple who broke this law, a =
judge said: =93Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, =
Malay and red, and He placed them on separate continents, and but for =
the interference with His arrangement there would be no cause for such =
marriages.=94
The judge said this, not in the 19th century and not in a backward area, =
but in 1958=97and not more than 60 miles [100 km] from the U.S. Capitol! =
Indeed, it was not until 1967 that the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated =
all laws against interracial marriages.
Such discriminatory laws=97as well as segregation in schools, churches, =
and other public institutions and discrimination in employment and =
housing=97led to the civil unrest, protests, and violence that have =
become the realities of life in the United States and many other places. =
Destruction of life and property aside, the anguish, hatred, and =
personal indignities and sufferings that have resulted can only be =
regarded as the shame and disgrace of a so-called civilized society.
Thus, racism has become one of the most divisive forces afflicting human =
society. Surely, it behooves all of us to search our own hearts, asking =
ourselves: Do I reject any teachings that proclaim one race to be =
superior to another? Have I sought to rid myself of any possible =
residual feelings of racial superiority?
It is also appropriate that we ask: What hope is there that racial bias =
and tension, so rampant today, can ever be eradicated? Can people of =
different nationalities, languages, and customs live together in peace

Gambia-l,
I am happy and proud to announce the return of Dr Sulayman Nyang, fellow
St Augustine's alumnus and distinguish professor to The Bantaba. As many
of you remembered, Dr Nyang used to provide us with educational and
insightful contributions.
He was away at The University of Hartford where he served as The
Henry Luce Forum Visiting Professor of Abrahamic Religions. This chair was
created to foster interfaith dialogue between Jews, Christians and Muslims
where he was the first occupant of this postion. This is something that
Gambians/friends of The Gambia should be proud of to have one of its sons
rise to such a level of academic prominence in The United States.
Dr Nyang, congratulations and welcome aboard once again.
Thanks
Tony Loum

Dear Jai,
I believe that no one can provoke me. I very well respect people to speak
their mind, I do not care what people think about me. There is only one
person that can provoke me, THAT IS ME, MYSELF AND I.
There are Jewish Arabs ( a small minority in the middle east), Christian
Arabs ( I have a personal friend from this class, we went to school together
in Cambridge) and finally there are Muslim Arabs.
All Eygptians are not Arabs.
The only way I or you for that matter can know what is the reason behind such
acts of terror is to talk to the people who are behind such acts. Or those
who participated in such acts.
Another way of knowing the reason is to take the subjective view of the
media.
Peace to you

Jorn,
I can only venture some few reasons why the Dalasi has remained stable..you
realise that 80-90% imports to The Gambia are essentials and foodstuff and
as times get harder, the purchasing power of the average Gambian drops, as
does the demand for forex..foreign exchange, lower demand and adequate
supply due mainly to Tourism and a very limited extent remittances from
Gambians abroad, be they professionals or boys in Germany and Swiss, this
is why despite trade sanctions and lower exports ..agriculture wise, the
dalasi has remained quite relatively stable..
just a perspective

Good day Mr. Torstein and all other Gambia-lers,
It is difficult returning to the Bantaba in order to respond to lengthy issues, after dealing all day
with the heavy workload provided by two jobs, and family life. I think that sometimes the energy of
discussion often generates more heat than light. In such a context, it is often pointless to carry a
debate on certain issues beyond some specific point, because the debate tends to offer less and less in
terms of information, and substantive arguments, while providing the fodder for more and more
unnecessary, sometimes entertaining, (almost always hurtful) incendiary remarks. Since it is not my
intention to respond in the latter fashion, I offer this response and promise to offer few if any more
responses on this issue (in spite of the very real threat by my brother Mr. Amadou Kabir Njie, to
withhold from me his forgiveness - in this lifetime!!!), as the responses may be less productive than
hoped.
In this light, I think we may agree to disagree on the issue at hand, however we have, hopefully,
gained a clearer understanding of each other's position. By the way, who has gone for the ataya?

Yes, there are good and bad in numerous categories of people. I think we are on the same page with
that statement. However, your lack of stats to support your claim, is precisely my point. What was
the basis of your allegation? If you had no statistics, were there any anecdotal material you could
cite? In the absence of either statistics or anecdotes, then how could you make your question/emphatic
statements (as characterized by your question mark/exclamation point) or "claim" (your term). This is
a point I will briefly touch upon later.

No, it certainly is not racist to ask such questions, however your "question" appeared rhetorical,
moreover the question was undeniably loaded with innuendo, insinuation, and implication, although I can
imagine a denial is being formulated as you read this. As quiered above what was the basis of your
allegation/question? It is this type of innuendo for which the originator denies any responsibility
for its implication, that pepper the literature and mass media and give strength to racist positions.
This is what I am pointing out, as I have seen this type of insinuation over and over again across the
past few decades in "respectable media". It is effective, especially when left unchallenged.

All things being equal, I would say that you are absolutely correct. Philosophically, in an idyllic,
sanitized world, I believe your stance is correct! However, I live in the world that is, rather than
in a utopia. The issue of color gives further context to achievement and is not coincidental or
insignificant as you imply. Your attempt to bleach history of its color context is untenable, simply
because color has been significant in numerous historical circumstances.

I will not argue about your essentializing power; everyone has a perspective concerning the
underpinnings of society - I choose to see these perspectives as neither right nor wrong, just as
other perspectives, based upon your own experiences, intellect, and philosophical bent. However, in
order to negotiate life itself, as a sentient being, social categories have to be constructed to make
sense out of our experiences. All of these categories are imperfect, simply because they are all
conceptual frames, however they are still useful. Thus, all grouping, which you talk about has its
limitations, but nonetheless is useful and even essential.

Yes, I have made reference to the sixties (the thirties, the forties, the fifties, and the seventies -
i.e., the PAST, a.k.a. HISTORY) and things are undeniably better on some fronts, because of the
struggle waged by Black people (and yes, as you suggest by others in concert with Black people).
However, some of these changes, may be more cosmetic than substantive in nature, while many of the
underlying sympathies and sentiments which undergird racism remain the same. Rodney King is not a
phenomenon of the sixties, nor is color insignificant to that situation. The American C.I.A.'s
connection to drugs and the Black community of California, is not of the sixties; race is not
incidental to this situation either. There are far too many circumstances which one could relate,
which demonstrate time without number that race (or color, as you prefer) is not incidental to
historical process and social forces. As mentioned previously, there is a historical context to
everything. There is a conjunction between the past and the present, and although we are not slaves to
history, it certainly does have a heavy impact upon the present and the future.

Mr Torstein, doesn't categorization by: nationality; gender; region; age; religion; or a host of other
characteristics "create polarizations and divide humans into us' and them' "? Yet, you have not
registered your disapproval of these categories for some unknown reason. In fact, throughout your
writings, I am hard pressed to discern a reason for your reluctance to accept color as a category of
human existence while simultaneously being content with solidarity based on nationality, religion, or
whatever. If you would be so kind as to explain the differences in these categories, so that I might
have a greater understanding on your position relative to these points, it would go a long way in my
education of that position.

I am not clear what the last sentence, you wrote, means but I think I understand the thrust of your
overall statement. The color struggle, whether or not you approve, is a reality. It will not go away
by ignoring it or wishing it away. This is not to say that every White person in the world is seeking
to oppress every Black person, however there are enough people who have this on their agenda. And this
struggle occurs in significant number on many fronts. This describes the machinations of institutional
racism which operates structurally behind the scenes, rather than on the conscious individual, level.
In this context, a Black identity is very, very necessary.

"The devil is in the details," Mr Torstein. People have the ability to reshape themselves indeed,
however we cannot completely escape our individual or collective history. In fact, history is one of
the tools used to reshape that future. The Spanish born philosopher, George Santayana once said,
"Those who do not remember the past, are condemned to relive it." Mr. Torstein, there are far too many
of us who have little or no memory of the past, while there are some aspects of the past which I loathe
to relive.
A Black solidarity, with an accurate sense of history and a viable strategy to address current
realities, would preclude us from reliving the most painful and destructive periods of our past. As
the Jewish community states day-in, day-out "Never again!" (Do you criticize Jewish solidarity on the
basis of their experiences?)

Sure, and why not?? This is an interesting turn of events (actually I find it incredible), as I have
been reading the numerous posts generated by this list. Curiously, one of the posts is a response you
made to Chakys concerning the reference to color in your own land. The exchange went as follows:
>>This man who comes from a country where black people are still referred
>>to as "neger" and in whose language everything bad is black (svart)
>>should either put up or shut up.

In this response you wasted no time in defending the use of a color term as being a "polite word" How
do you reconcile your statement to Chakys, and the above rhetorical question directed to me? Is it
that a reference to color can be muted or polite in your language, but cannot be in any other
language? This is not to mention that there is a difference between the connotation of "negro" or
"black" in Spanish, and another derivative of the same word, the infamous "n - - - - r" word. "Negro"
in Spanish is value neutral, as far as I know, although the other derivative is not. "Negrita" is a
term of endearment in Spanish, "n - - - - r" in context is not! Is this an issue of trying to have it
both ways?

Mr. Torstein, thank you for the reminder (or tip as you put it) on e-mail etiquette (or ethics as you
put it). Caps can be used as emphasis to indicate where one would either underline, italics, or bold a
selection of text, as there are a few of the older mail readers which cannot handle this underline,
italics or bold in the formatting. Whatever the case, if you could point out in my message to you
where I SHOUTED (either a sentence, a phrase, or a word) which would warrant this "tip," I would be
most grateful. Thank you again.
Have a good and prosperous day.

Ms. Munzel, I have no problem with the idea that economics is an
integral part of this equation. However, I am curious to find out if
you are saying that a Black person (male or female) with money (or
economic status), is in an equal position to influence events as a White
male with money? Are there equal institutional supports for both sets
of individuals? Furthermore, I see no reason to use the type of racial
epithets that you do, Ms. Munzel. To essentialize economic status, I
think leads us to the make the same mistakes that Marx made in his often
brilliant analysis, when he ignored both gender and race.

This is well put, but to deny that idea that power exists on a global
basis is, more than the word, interesting. In viewing recent events in
the Asian stock market and its repercussions on the west would give us
some indication that there are some global economic forces at work
here. Moreover, I find it interesting that in an institution such as
Columbia, which gave rise to a school of anthropologists during the
fifties and sixties, who talk about the new international division of
labor, and who could point to multi-national corporations, which have an
impact upon people across geo-political boundaries, could produce a
question like "Is there such a thing of being in power on a global
basis?" The answer to that question, depending upon your theoretical
orientation and breadth of understanding of such issues, in my
estimation, has to be "Yes!"
Do the managers of Shell Oil and similar corporations have power which
extend beyond national boundaries? Ask the widow of Ken Saro-Wiwa.

Ms. Munzel, do not think for a moment, that I am limiting race (or color
as Mr. Torstein would have it) as the single factor in a political
struggle (although, I do give it primacy as a "significant" factor).
Nor does this position preclude alliances based on anything else. What
I would say first and foremost, however, is that the basic platform
should revolve around the issue which formed the basis of the original
attack, and then coalitions should be formed with other groups only
AFTER having formed that initial primary solidarity.
That is my position Ms. Munzel.
Thank you and have a pleasant day.

With all due respects, I think the sister was just trying to make a valid
point not provoking you. We have to look at both angles and your answer

Brother Nyang,
What a pleasure to hear from you again!
After almost a year of silence, I guessed that you may have abandoned us
for good. It is indeed a pleasure to know that you are still around and
doing wonderfully well. I was so happy to read your email today.
I hope that once you finally settle down, you will briefly update us on
the assignments that you have been busily working on. For the benefit of
the new members of the list, I also think it would be wonderful if you
could reintroduce yourself, as many of them may have heard about you from
one source or the other. It's really nice to have you back, Doc!
Regards,
Moe S. Jallow

Hope you all have a nice and enjoyable turkey day
Does it not remind you of Harri -Tobaski or Easter Nan Buru celebration
of families and friends.
I suggest we get a Halal killed turkey (or you go to the farm and do it
yourself) and invite your closest Gambian neighbour or friend.
Let us join the celebration if we can afford it. Why not??
Dr Nyang any thoughts or opinion on this
Should we be part of it of not ?

Please say no more. Sister 'J' seems very angry and negative, and hopes she
realizes that a lot of us have been offended. I have always wondered why she
always has something negative to say regarding most of the postings she
replies to. A word of advice: please always try to be positive and nice to
people especially in this bantaba, for we will have to deal with each other
sooner or later. What people think of you now might hold for a long time, and
it's not too late to start getting along with the crowd.
Thanks

>>
>>While Mukula was announcing the good news to his grateful constituents,
>Sir
>>John Woodward, an ex-colonial administrator, was returning to Uganda,

>>
>>As he flew over Lake Victoria, Sir John's mind filled with great

>>of glorious exploits in the old protectorate, where he had made a
>career of
>>christianizing the natives and ridding them of pagan names like
>Muniini,
>>Onyango and Gidudu.
>>
>>He began to wonder what might have become of the civilized names his
>>predecessors had so lovingly given to Uganda's lakes, mountains, water
>>falls and national parks.
>>
>>Turning to the African passenger next to him, Sir John asked: "What do
>you
>>call this lake these days?"
>>
>>Looking somewhat surprised, the Mukiga man replied: "Lake Victoria, of
>>course!"
>>
>>"Didn't the natives call it Nnalubaale, or something like that?", the
>>Englishman continued.
>>
>>The Mukiga thought for a moment, wondering what was wrong with this
>muzungu.
>>
>>"Only the Luganda newsreader on Radio and TV refers to it by that name,
>>when he is talking about the weather. Otherwise everybody uses its
>proper
>>name of Lake Victoria."
>>
>>"Really?", Sir John said, as he sank back into his seat.
>>
>>After clearing immigration, the Englishman was driven to Lake Victoria
>>Windsor Hotel for refreshments and some rest, in preparation for a
>guided
>>tour of the country.
>>
>>At the hotel, Sir John was offered a breakfast menu which featured
>various
>>items with French and English names.
>>
>>Spying an item called "Continental Breakfast", he asked the waiter

>>
>>"I don't quite sure but let me check, sir" the young man replied,

>>

>>
>>"Ah! But do you have an African continental breakfast?", the old man
>asked,
>>beginning to sound more proud of Africa than his hosts.
>>
>>"Not really. But sir, we have other foods you can choose from."
>>
>>After a hearty meal of a nameless breakfast of fresh fruit and juice,
>Sir
>>John hired a taxi to take him on a guided tour of Kampala, the city

>>he had spent four decades earlier.
>>
>>The driver, who introduced himself as Nehemiah, was very delighted to
>be
>>asked to drive a European, and he indicated his pleasure with a wink
>and a
>>thumbs-up sign to his envious colleagues.
>>
>>"Do you have an African name?" Sir John inquired, as the car made its

>>past the Botanical Gardens.
>>
>>"Yes sir. They call me Wagumbuluzi Kyaba Naky'Omusajja Kyawa Munne, but

>>prefer Nehemiah. It says in the Bible that Nehemiah, son of Hachaliah,
>was
>>a great man."
>>
>>The Englishman made a grunting noise, obviously unimpressed by
>Nehemiah's
>>Biblical scholarship.
>>
>>As they entered Kampala, Sir John noted, that the Queen's Way and the
>>Queen's Clock Tower had survived the various battles for Kampala.
>>
>>They soon came upon Siad Barre Avenue, next to Parliament Buildings.
>>
>>Wasn't Siad Barre a nasty dictator somewhere in Africa?" Sir John

>>
>>Nehemiah remained silent. Turning onto De Winton Road, he pointed to

>Avenue.
>>
>>Sensing the irony, Sir John informed his driver that an independent
>>newspaper like The Monitor would never have lasted twenty four hours in
>>Siad Barre's Somalia.
>>
>>As they drove through Kampala and the tree-lined boulevards of
>Nakasero,
>>Kololo and Bugolobi, the conversation turned to politics.
>>
>>Nehemiah, a Muganda, proudly informed the visitor that President
>Museveni
>>had restored the dignity of the Baganda by giving them their king.
>>
>>The Kabaka, Sir John learned , was the repository of Buganda's culture
>and
>>traditions. Indeed he was officially known as a "Cultural Institution".
>>
>>"What are your Kabaka's names?", Sir John asked, confessing that he had
>not
>>kept up with developments in the colonies.
>>
>>"Our beloved Kabaka is Ronald Edward Frederick Muwenda Mutebi II, son
>of
>>Sir Edward Frederick Walugembe Mutesa II, grandson of Daudi Chwa, great

>>
>>There was a long silence. Sir John began to smile, realising the irony

>>African "cultural institutions" carrying English names.
>>
>>"I never realised what we were doing to their minds," he whispered.
>>
>>When Nehemiah asked him what he meant by that, Sir John pretended not

>>
>>Sir John asked to be driven to Makerere University. The place was as

>>
>>The students and teachers preferred to be called by their civilized

>>
>>However, one middle-aged gentleman, who introduced himself as Professor
>>Engineer Dr. Alai Mokili, seemed to be one of the few who had rejected
>>European names, which he called slave names.
>>
>>"You see sir," the engineer explained, "one of the few sensible things

>>Sese Seko Koko Ngbendu Wa Zabanga, which, meant 'The Cock That Leaves
>No
>>Hen Unturned.'"
>>
>>"And did the Zaireans follow the cock's example?", Sir John asked.
>>
>>"Oh yes, they did," Mokili declared. "We began to hear of names like

>>
>>Sir John's face lit up with excitement. Finally, here was an African

>>
>>"I will be very happy to take you anywhere, Sir. I want you to call me
>>Wagumbuluzi, and not Nehemiah any more sir."
>>
>>Sir John smiled, already feeling that the trip was bearing fruit.
>>
>>They set off before dawn, and arrived at Kasese's Hotel Margheritta in

>>
>>"Good Lord," Sir John moaned, "you have never changed the name of this

>>
>>"Oh, we should not change that name," Mokili replied. "You see, I do

>>think we should change the names which you folks gave to buildings and

>>
>>Sir John and Wagumbuluzi looked puzzled.
>>
>>"But Professor," Wagumbuluzi started, "I thought you wanted African

>>
>>The professor was smiling, just like he usually did whenever he had a

I'm sorry that my contributions are mostly questions, but at the moment
I find it very difficult to get more involved in the discussions that I

Hey folks,
You might be interested in reading a short CNN article to be found
at the following URL:
http://cnn.com/WORLD/africa/9711/15/AP001063.ap.html
The article for example says: "
The German report renewed speculation as to where
Jammeh
found the money to make several generous donations
recently. The
31-year-old leader who came to power in a 1994
coup recently
bought 22 new pickup trucks for his army and in
June gave
$10,000 to the Organization of African Unity. "
It is increasingly looks like Jammeh is in fact a more astute
manager of his meagre salary than Jawara ever was with his. A rich
African President is always cause for pause.
Abdou.

Hi,
Per getting postings from the archives, our archive covers from January
31st, 1996 to
October 19th, 1997 . The discussions are divided into 90 parts.
Getting any piece of correspondence involves two steps:
(i) Send a command on line by itself to listproc@u.washington.edu to
retrieve a list of the files. The command is: index gambia-l -all
In return you will get output that looks like:
gambia-l.log9601e (1 part, 3956 bytes) -- We did it !
gambia-l.log9602a (1 part, 60055 bytes) -- Re: We did it !
gambia-l.log9602b (1 part, 7037 bytes) -- GAMBIA-L digest 1
:
:
gambia-l.log9710c (1 part, 183620 bytes) -- GAMBIA-L digest 89
gambia-l.log9710d (1 part, 299771 bytes) -- GAMBIA-L digest 90
These files are in chronological order; gambia-l.log9710d contains
the latest discussions in October of 1997.
(ii)Send a command on a line by itself to retrieve the file of
discussions that you want. The command is: get gambia-l FILENAME where
FILENAME is the name of the file such as gambia-l.log9710c.
Retrieving a file will take a long time as the archives are stored
on tape drives. Additionally be careful that you do do not swamp your
own mailbox as these files are very huge. For example, we have
generated close to 30 Megabytes of discussions which is about 40, 000
pages of hard copy [Disclaimer: these are all rough estimates] !

Hello Gambia-L,
The message below was fowarded to me by a friend. Despite my busy schedule
lately, I would like to hear your comments on this while I reserve mine
for later. However, I have a few questions to ask:
1. Would Nelson Mandela have survived and be president today if it wasn't
for Winnie's role in the liberation srtuggle?
2. During the apartheid struggle, wasn't Winnie the one who scarified
her life and happiness to so as to keep the struggle and the
Mandela name alive?
3. Doesn't she deserve respect, when we think about the fact that she
was the one who consistently traveled (to Washington) to lobby
sanctions against the white regime of South Africa?
4. Finally, is Winnie Mandela the enemy... or is it the whites?
Do you still remember when blacks were treated like dogs? Brtutalized,
maimed, beaten, burned, shot...you name. And now here we are proclaiming
her a bad person. What a "sell-out"!!!!
Regards,
Moe S. Jallow
---------------------- forwarded message ------------------------
THE PRESENT:
Today, November 24, l997 Winnie Madikizela-Mandela faces a week long
testimony before The Truth and Reconciliation Committee in Johannesburg.
Headed by Desmond Tutu, this committee is charged with inquiring into
human rights violations during the long history of apartheid in South Africa.
Based on these testimonies, people who confess to have violated human rights
could be granted amnesty, and others awarded limited compensation. Why
is Winnie before this commission? Being falsely accused, tried and convicted
in l991, why would she need amnesty for anything she allegedly may have done
during apartheid? Having being sentenced and fined, why amnesty?
Focus of the testimony are allegations that Winnie kidnaped, beat and
killed some of the youths that were part of the Mandela Football Club, and
more specifically the death of Stompie Stepei. The youths of the football
club were bodyguards for Winnie, whose life was constantly in danger due
to the South Africa Security Police. Often, Winnie's bodyguard were
infiltrated by spies of the Security Police. Winnie has denied all the
above charges, and I whole heartedly believe her. Whatever she did, she
did for the Struggle. If she killed or ordered someone killed, she
probably did it for her own safety.
This testimony is not about truth or reconciliation. It is about power
within the ANC. Despite her so called conviction, her alleged
embezzlement and firing from her position as deputy minister, Winnie still
remains strong and popular to large numbers of South Africans. Why is
Winnie subpoena to appear before this committee? Because she has angered
the leadership of the ANC by challenging the preferred candidate for
Deputy President. Winnie's bid for the deputy presidency has rattled
senior party officials, who fear she may come out as a favorite. This
position would open the way to the highest position in the land after
Nelson Mandela retires in l999. This therefore, is ply to weaken Winnie
politically.
THE PAST:
Winnie was born in small village called Bizana, in the Transkei region.
She recieved a diploma in Social work for Jan Hofmeyer School, and a B.A
in Political Science, with major in International Relations from the
University of Witwatersrand, Johannnesburg. She was introduced to Nelson
Mandela in 1956 by Oliver Tambo's girlfriend who happen to be Winnie's
friend. Two years later, the two got married. Nelson Mandela was tried
for treason and sentenced to life in prison. While in prison, Winnie was
the life, the breath and the mouthpiece of Nelson Mandela. Except for her
bravery, Nelson would have languished and died unforgotten in prison.
Winnie 's bravery and no-nonsense character not only earned her
international respect, but brought the struggles of South Africa to the
forefront. Winnie Mandela can be single- handedly credited with keeping
her husband's name alive during the 27 years of imprisonment. The world
would never forget the day Nelson Mandela walked out of prison with Winnie
by her side.
What did Winnie get for 27 years of struggle in keeping Nelson Mandela's
and the South African dream alive? Divorce papers and a position as
junior deputy minister, from which she was fired shortly. Oh, how soon
the world forgets! Winnie was constantly watched, spied on by the
Security Police, harrassed, raided, banned from Soweto, and put in
solitary confinement for 18 months, most of which was spent in total
darkness. Oh, how soon Nelson forget that he owns his very life to God
and Winnie. Infidelty? Winnie was not open or disrespectful about it.
Her alleged accomplice also devoted all his efforts to the struggle and
getting Nelson out of prison. Winnie is human, and humans make mistake.
Could Nelson not find it in his heart to forgive Winnie?
On this matter she said:
I do not understand how a man who speaks of forgiveness and
reconciliation, a man who forgave a system that imprisoned
him for 27 years, could not do the same in his own house.
THE FUTURE:
Ted Koppel, on an interview last week, ask Winnie what the future holds.
She simply replied:
I do not know. I never planned everything that has happened
so far. I did not choose to be in the center of the South African
struggle, God put me there.
I have watched in painful silence my character being butchered in the
media. I have witnessed my contribution to this democracy being
villified and ridiculed. I have agonised over the deafenning silence of
friends who stand and watch with sadistic pleasure over this. I have
watched state serial killers recieve state pardons and treated better
by the highest authority. I intend to testify before the The Truth
Commission.
I intend to bare my soul to the scrutiny of my country. I beg that it
be done in public. I beg that these issues be tested by the
vigilance of the public. Let me claim decent treatment once and for
all.
For all she has done for her country and our continent, is this what she
deserves? Winnie will live through this week, and will emerge stronger
than ever, she will remain: Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, The Great.
SOME FAMOUS QUOTES:
-------------------
I AM SADDEN BY ALL THIS. I AM VERY FOND OF HER.
SHE IS THE ICON OF THE STRUGGLE. WE MUST NOT
FORGET THAT.
Bishop Desmond Tutu on Winnie
November 25, l997
I STAND BEFORE YOU ALL WOMEN, FULLY AWARE OF
THE ACCUSTIONS HURLED AT ME. BUT I STAND DEFIANT,
TALL AND STRONG BECAUSE THE STRUGGLE IS STILL
GOING ON AND I'M STILL IN IT.

Questions for anyone:
1. When was the last time the SCORPIONS won the cup?
2. What is the hottest first division team in the Gambia? I used to be a
HAWKS fan ... is the team still in existence?
3. Who is the best soccer player in the country at this point in time?
4. Will the professionals abroad be participating in ZONE II tournament?
5. Is basketball still a big game in the Gambia (Banjul)? If so, who is
the Michael Jordan of the Gambia basketball clubs?
Thanks for any reponses?

Moe, I think that Winnie and many of South Africa's leaders did a lot during the Apartheid days to be admired for. However, when it comes to what is going on now and what the former husband can do, it should be clear that he or everyone else in the Truth Committee took up their jobs to carry out their responsibilities WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR! It is all part of the PRICE South African must pay for equallity under the the law.

HERMENEUTICS (=the study of the meaning of scripture) IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Suppose you're traveling to work and you see a stop sign. What do
you do? That depends on how you exegete (=interpret) the stop
sign.
1. A postmodernist deconstructs the sign (knocks it over with his
car), ending forever the tyranny of the north-south traffic over
the east-west traffic.
2. Similarly, a Marxist refuses to stop because he sees the stop
sign as an instrument of class conflict. He concludes that the
bourgeois use the north-south road and obstruct the progress of
the workers in the east-west road.
3. A serious and educated Catholic rolls through the intersection
because he believes he cannot understand the stop sign apart from
its interpretive community and tradition. Observing that the
interpretive community doesn't take it too seriously, he doesn't
feel obligated to take it too seriously either.
4. An average Catholic (or Orthodox or Coptic or Anglican or
Methodist or Presbyterian or whatever) doesn't bother to read the
sign but he'll stop if the car in front of him does.
5. A fundamentalist, taking the text very literally, stops at the
stop sign and waits for it to tell him to go.
6. A seminary-educated evangelical preacher might look up "STOP"
in his lexicons of English and discover that it can mean: 1)
something which prevents motion, such as a plug for a drain, or a
block of wood that prevents a door from closing; 2) a location
where a train or bus lets off passengers. The main point of his
sermon the following Sunday on this text is: when you see a stop
sign, it is a place where traffic is naturally clogged, so it is
a good place to let off passengers from your car.
7. An orthodox Jew does one of two things: a) Take another route
to work that doesn't have a stop sign so that he doesn't run the
risk of disobeying the Law; b) Stop at the sign, say "Blessed art
thou, O Lord our God, king of the universe, who hast given us thy
commandment to stop," wait 3 seconds according to his watch, and
then proceed. Incidently, the Talmud has the following comments
on this passage: R[abbi] Meir says: He who does not stop shall
not live long. R. Hillel says: Cursed is he who does not count to
three before proceeding. R. Simon ben Yudah says: Why three?
Because the Holy One, blessed be He, gave us the Law, the
Prophets, and the Writings. R. ben Issac says: Because of the
three patriarchs. R. Yehuda says: Why bless the Lord at a stop
sign? Because it says, "Be still and know that I am God"....
8. A scholar from the Jesus Seminar concludes that the passage
"STOP" undoubtably was never uttered by Jesus himself because
being the progressive Jew that He was, He would never have wanted
to stifle peoples' progress. Therefore, STOP must be a textual
insertion belonging entirely to stage III of the gospel
tradition, when the church was first confronted by traffic in its
parking lot.
9. A NT scholar notices that there is no stop sign on Mark street
but there is one on Matthew and Luke streets, and concludes that
the ones on Luke and Matthew streets are both copied from a sign
on a street no one has ever seen called "Q" Street. There is an
excellent 300 page doctoral dissertation on the origin of these
stop signs and the differences between stop signs on Matthew and
Luke street in the scholar's commentary on the passage. There is
an unfortunate omission in the dissertation, however; it doesn't
explain the meaning of the text!
10. An OT scholar points out that there are a number of stylistic
differences between the first and second half of the passage
"STOP." For example, "ST" contains no enclosed areas and 5 line
endings, whereas "OP" contains two enclosed areas and only one
line termination. He concludes that the author for the second part
is different from the author of the first part and probably lived
hundreds of years later. Later scholars determine that the second
half is itself actually written by two separate authors beause of
similar stylistic differences between the "O" and the "P".
11. Another prominent OT scholar notes in his commentary that the
stop sign would fit better into the context three streets back.
Unfortunately, he neglected to explain why in his commentary.)
Clearly it was moved to its present location by a later redactor.
He thus exegetes the intersection as though the sign were not
there.
12. Because of the difficulties in interpretation, another OT
scholar amends the text, changing the "T" to "H". "SHOP" is much
easier to understand in context than "STOP" because of the
multiplicity of stores in the area. The textual corruption
probably occurred because "SHOP" is so similar to "STOP" on the
sign several streets back, that it is a natural mistake for a
scribe to make. Thus the sign should be interpreted to announce
the existence of a shopping area. If this is true, it could
indicate that both meanings are valid, thus making the thrust of
the message "STOP (AND) SHOP."
13. A "prophetic" preacher notices that the square root of the
sum of the numeric representations of the letters S-T-O-P
(sigma-tau-omicron-pi in the Greek alphabet), multiplied by 40
(the number of testing), and divided by four (the number of the
world--north, south, east, and west), equals 666. Therefore, he
concludes that stop signs are the dreaded "mark of the beast," a
harbinger of divine judgment upon the world, and must be avoided
at all costs.

....
I have high regards for Mrs. Winnie Mandella and her courage for the
struggle which eventually lead to the freedom of President Mandella.
Secondly, how many freedom fighters get praise from the western media??
I do not expect her to get a fair trial but if she did what is alledged
a simple apology to me would suffice.
( Israel's prime minister - the late Menahem Began - did worst things
like bombing the King David Hotel and killed many jews and Arabs in his
fight for his country but after an apology he was forgiven and became
the Prime minister . Winnie has not done similar killings but why are
forgeting all her positive contributions to the African continent

8 month back when I had to plan my tour to The Gambia I planned to go
when The Gambia should host the Cabral Cup zone II in october.
Unfortunately they later postponed from october as planned till
november-december. But I manage to see interviews given from the
Scorpions training camp in Ghana. And I was really disappointed. The
players interviewed had allready started to think negative, and prepare
all the excuses WHEN they failed. "The preparations started too late"
"shirts were missing" etc, etc. Instead of positive thinking: "We
started late, BUT we will be ready in time" "Even lack of shirts we
train with great confidence and the play is better every day" or
something like that. I ended my tour contributing to the Scorpions, and
I did send them a small note, wishing good luck, but allso that they
should "bite like scorpions" and not fear the senegalese. Some of my
gambia friends have promissed to tape the matches and post them to
Denmark. I do hope that I will come to see positive attitudes and great
performance from the SCORPIONS. A big new scoreboard was build at the
Bakau stadium. Like the national danish team means a lot to the danish,
I do hope that the SCORPIONS will bring glamour to the Gambia. =

FELLOWSHIP:
African Development Dissertation Workshop
at University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana
May 7-10, 1998
THEME: The Arts and Humanities in Africa's Economic and Political
Transitions
The wave of political and economic reforms that have swept over Africa
in the last decade and the continent's earlier post-colonial experience
affected not only people's relationship with markets and governments,
but also their modes and content of self-expression, concepts of
identity, and value systems. The forces behind these social,
political, and economic movements are both internal and external and
have expressed themselves in the popular culture as well as formal
statements of recognized authorities.
Hence theatre, music, film, literature, and the visual arts have both
reflected and shaped economic and political developments in the
continent.
The dissertation workshop on the arts and humanities in Africa's
economic and political transitions will provide a venue for intensive
discussion of research proposals relating to the arts in any
manifestation to African development. The intent is to help students
develop methodologically and theoretically rigorous research designs for
doctoral work that is relevant to African development. While
methodology will vary with subject matter and discipline, all proposals
should include at least nine months of field work in Africa.
ELIGIBILITY: African students enrolled in doctoral programs in the
behavioral and social sciences, fine and applied arts, and humanities
are eligible. Students need not have advanced to candidacy, but must
have a written dissertation research proposal. Applicants should submit
a research proposal of 10 to 15 pages, a curriculum vitae, a list of
graduate courses completed, and a letter of reference form their
academic advisor or research supervisor.

FYI, former Malawian president Kamuzu Banda has died in a Johannesburg
clinic. He was believed to be 99 years old.
VOA's correspondent Alex Belida reports from South Africa:
" Mr. Banda was flown to Johannesburg from his home in
Malawi earlier this month after contracting pneumonia and falling
into a coma. A spokeswoman at the clinic where he had been
treated says he died Tuesday night of respiratory failure.
Mr. Banda led malawi from its independence in 1964 until the
country's first democratic elections in 1994 -- three decades in
which he single-handedly controlled virtually every aspect of the
nation's life, ruthlessly suppressing any opposition. after his
ouster, he was charged with murder but acquitted.
The South African government Wednesday expressed regret at Mr.
Banda's death. president Nelson Mandela paid tribute to the
former Malawian leader, telling reporters that despite his public
image and his links with the former apartheid government, Mr.
Banda did many positive things people did not know about,
including aiding the black liberation movement in Zimbabwe and
providing the African National Congress with financial
assistance. " (signed)

Thanks for the URL. Yeah, it really makes one wonder if there is any truth
in this. Do you not smell a rat?
The German Public television reported:
"... it had secretly filmed the gold in a Gambian warehouse and
claimed that Mobutu associates were selling it on the

This is incredible!!
Who amongst you remember when you were 5 years old? :-)))))))).
PANA news agency reports:
" ... a five-year-old Nigerian boy is preparing to take the
British General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examination
in maths, following his excellent mastery of the subject in spite of
his tender age.
But while the British media are hailing Joshua Bright as a prodigy, his
parents say they are just nurturing a gift which all children have.
Every child has a gift, and it is up to the parents and the teachers to
identify the gift and encourage it, said Gbola Bright, Joshua's father,
a chemistry graduate of the University of Lagos, one of Nigeria's major
institutions of higher learning.
Joshua began displaying his mathematical ability at the tender age of
two after listening to times tables recorded on musical tapes which his
father was using to teach older children maths.
As soon as Joshua's father recognised his son's gift, the parents began
giving him extra lessons in computer skills and basic maths.
His school in the East London Borough of Hackney, home to many
Africans, noted: Joshua is always keen to contribute to class dicussion
and displays a good memory for previous learning. However, he finds it
difficult to wait his turn, usually knowing the correct answer, and
will often answer for other children.
Ironically, Hackney is one of the boroughs in the UK that government
inspectors have identitified as several failing schools and
institutions where educational standards are low.

Asbjorn,
Thank you for the quick run down. I see that, when it comes to soccer,
SENEGAL is still our biggest enemy :-))). Sounds very natural!
When will this rivalry end, if ever? Is SENEGAL still the dominant team?

Mr. Jaiteh, I think you brought up a very interesting argument:
rather, somewhat convincing. However, I think the problem in Winnie's case
has something to do with what is referred to as "divide and rule". I
think Winnie is one of the few icons of our time that we all could emulate
(male and female alike). Instead, she is been made the scapegoat for South
Africa's past.
Nelson Mandela has been and will remain to be my hero, but I think
he made a mistake that hum... guess it. I think Winnie deserves a lot not
only from him but also from post apartheid south Africa in general. It is
mind boggling how he (Mr. Mandela) and few of the elicits in ANC could
distant themselves from Winnie after all she went through to free him and
south Africa or perhaps I don't know any better. Either way, I think the
sad plight of their relation certainly will remain to mark a watershed in
south Africa's history or so I envisioned.
Thanx,
Dawdab Singhateh.

Dear Folks,
Regarding Mrs Winnie Madikezela-Mandela: On BBC Focus on Africa, 25/11/97;
It was reported that "Baroness"Emma Nicholson was taking private
prosecution on murder charges against Winnie on behalf of Stompie ??'s
mother;
now this Emma Nicholson if I recall was a short-lived Minsiter or junior
minister under Margaret Thatcher..the latter and her cabinet was very
famous in affording apartheid much needed breathing space in its latter
years and also holding the ANC and Mandala as communist-terrorists;
I think Nicholson should just simply be deported as an undesirable and
unwanted element in Africa..
I don't care whether Winnie is guilty or innocent; Emma does not have a
voice or vote in our affairs; it is like having the KKK decide on black on
black crime
folks, I have used the utmost restraint in not calling the b******* the
names she deserves in my opinion.

Assalamu Alaikum,
I thnk you very much for accepting into the Gambia list. In this regard,
I would like to give a brief introduction of myself as require.
I was born at Sukuta village, Jarra East District, Lower River Division
in 1971. I attended Sukuta Primary School from 1980 to 1986. I then
joined Nusrat High School from 1986 to 1991 for my Ordinary Level. From
there I joined Sait Augustine's High School from 1991 to 1993 for my
Advanced Level. After finishing my Advanced Level in 1993, I was
fortunate to get admission into International Islamic
University(Malaysia) in Jully 1994. I am now a final year student in
Bachelor of Business Administration program with Finance as my
concentration area.
I do hope that my membership of Gambia list would be of great benefit to
all of us. I wish everyone great success in all our engagements.

Mr.Jallow,
I don't think I could say it better myself!The Third Force,as Winnie calls
them,with their racist friends around the world,esp.those of them in
Britain, want to do everything that could help puncture Winnie's chances of
becoming the future president of South Africa.
Thabo Nbeki may or may not be the next president of South Africa, but sadly
for her enemies,the Mother of the Nation would sooner or later become the
president of South Africa;and when that happens, she would do exactly what
the white establishment and its friends are so scared of,namely,the real
dismantlement of all the white power structures without which the real
enpowerment of Shaka's children would never materialise.
Could the South African diamond giant,De Beers,for instance,ever imagine the
day when 80 or 90% of its board members would be black men and women?! And
what about the gold industry and the banks and how would most white families
manage to clean up and feed themselves in a world in which they could no
longer afford to pay black nannies and domestic helps to do that for
them.These are the real stuffs that is scaring them to death,and who else
could deliver that last blow to the remnants of apartheid than the very
woman who has kept the liberation candle burning for twenty-seven eternal
years.
Winnie,we are waiting! Come and rule over us,its your turn now.
Reagrds Basss!

Dear Fafanding,
Greetings from NARI! How are you getting on with your studies? I hope life
is treating you nicely in Malaysia.
Well, when I sighted your brief introduction on the screen, I decided to
get in touch with you so that you will know that we also on the line. This
means that you can now communicate with us very easily. Let me inform you
that my position has changed hands from a socioeconomics supervisor to a
Documentalist and, of course, with a higher grade. I am therefore
responsible for the management of the NARI library and I have two Library
Assistants who are currently undertaking 45 days on-the-job training in
documentation in Niamey, Niger.
The Director General is very much concerned about my long-term training in
the field of information managment and he is interested in placing me in an
institution to pursue a Diploma in Library and Information Studies. But so
far, we have not been successful in our efforts. So having seen your e-mail
address, I thought it a good idea to find out from you whether there is any
possibility for me to pursue the above area in colleges/universities in
Malaysia? If possible, could you please let me have the details as soon as
possible, so that I could send in an enquiry, on behalf of the DG, for
information and an application form for the 1998/99 academic year.
With greetings to your fellow-Gambian students,
Yours sincerely,
Falankoi Janneh

Hi Mr. Jallow (Modou),
regarding the rivalry between Gambia and Senegal; it is like the one
between Nigeria and Ghana, it is a Big Bro-Small Bro kinda thingy.you
know..incidentally Sierra Leone is the defending Champs and despite their
current political problems and the fact that the Gambia Govt. decide to
extend an invitation to the national team and sport minister of the exiled
Tejn Kabba govt. as opposed to the illegal govt. of Koroma; the Sierra
Leone team or Leone Stars arrived in Banjul with such a fanfare and
carnival including a person masquerading Pres. Jammeh with boubous and
prayers beads included..that I for one will NOT rule them OUT..so watch out
for armchair coaching and commentary from this end
ciao
pmj
ps for your general info. and knowledge: did you know that Amilcar Cabral
was the nom de guerre of Abel Djassi..I picked that from the Zone 2
preparations..

Kamuzu Banda destroyed Malawi and put that country economy in total
ruins. Although I do not wish any bad on another human being but I
compare him to Mobutu. Let us put their wounds behind us and try to heal
as fast as we can for there is no time to waste for the future of our
children.
Allah will be the best judge and each leader will be personally
accountable for his evil deeds to his subjects.
May his soul rest in peace

Hi Pa Musa!
I completely agree with you regarding Emma Nicholson. A documentary
was shown on Swedish television about a month or two ago about the
bodyguard she was "helping" and how she was "concerned" about his civil
rights. I was rather pissed after I saw the documentary because I could
see the hypocritical tactics she used with the intention of assasinating
Winnie=B4s character. I pitied the bodyguard more because he typified the=
most ignorant among us letting himself be used for propaganda against a
woman of Winnie=B4s stature by a woman who might have called him a ******=
had she not found any use for him.
Regarding Nelson Mandela=B4s treatment of Winnie as posted by others, I
must say that I was rather disappointed that Nelson Mandela could be so
forgiving of the Apartheid establishment and not find it in his heart to
forgive the woman who kept him and the struggle alive. Like the saying
goes, "charity begins at home". I for one would have been convinced of
Nelson=B4s forgiving nature if he had forgiven Winnie for the things she
did during his time in prison. After all, she is only human and over
twenty years is a long time. If she was the one imprisoned for such a
long time, he probably would have married another woman or had many
lovers without such a big fuss.
Here are a few things Nelson said and wrote about Winnie which he now
seems to have forgotten:
SOURCE: Benson, M. (1986) Nelson Mandela, Penguin Books.
"Had it not been for your visits, wonderful letters and your love, I
would have fallen apart many years ago". (page 199)
"...I am solidly behind you and know too well that you suffer because of
your love of and loyalty to the children and me, as well as to our large
family." (page 195)
"Darling, just pack some of my clothes in a suitcase with my toiletries.
I will be going away for a long time. You=B4re not to worry, my friends
here will look after you. They=B4ll give you news of me from time to time=
=2E
Look well after the children. I know you=B4ll have the strength and
courage to do so without me, I now know you are capable of that." (page
95)
"Your love and support...the charming children you have given the
family, the many friends you have won, the hope of enjoying that love
and warmth again, is what life and happiness mean to me....Yet there
were moments...when I have wondered whether any kind of commitment can
ever be sufficient excuse for abandoning a young and inexperienced woman
in a pitiless desert, literally throwing her into the hands of
highwaymen; a wonderful woman without her pillar and support at times of
need. (page 238)
Here are some quotes from Winnie:
"...but the trip back is awful. I feel so empty....But I can=B4t help
thinking of all these years of our lives that have gone down the drain,
our best years. Nelson is sixty-three now, and I am like a young girl,
still looking for the experience of married life." (page 211)
"...In fact during my visit he took off his shoes and showed it through
the window. I saw his foot for the first time in twenty-one years".
(page 221)
"That Margareth Thatcher should have the audacity to tell us, the
oppressed people of South Africa, that we are wrong in calling for
sanctions! I am appalled that a woman Prime Minister should be so
insensitive to mothers spending their time collecting their children=B4s
bodies from the streets" (page 249) Is Emma Nicholson still angry about
Winnie=B4s uncompromising attitude towards that hypocritical Margaret
Thatcher and wants to revenge through character assassination?
"We know what we want. Our aspirations are dear to us. We are not asking
for majority rule; it is our right, we shall have it at any cost. We are
aware that the road before us is uphill, but we shall fight to the
bitter end for justice." (page 189)
"I was never there to hold my little girls=B4 hands, take them to school
and intoduce them to their teachers....I have never met any of my
children=B4s teachers. I couldn=B4t do that because it would have meant
violating the terms of my banning order." (page 171)
"All I had was a plastic bottle with about five glasses of water, a
sanitary bucket, three blankets and a sisal mat. About a week later I
was transferred to a 'condemned' cell: a cell which usually holds
prisoners who are going to be executed....Three white stewardesses
brouht the food. They would then take the sanitary bucket, turn the lid
upside down and put your plate of food on that. So I never ate." (page
177)
The quotes can go on and on. I sent these few quotes to serve as
reminders of what Winnie went through and the role she played in both
Nelson Mandela=B4s and the struggle=B4s lives. In these days when everyth=
ing
said about her is negative, I beg to differ and say that I personally
stand behind her 100 percent. She is human and has committed some
mistakes but if Nelson Mandela and South Africa can forgive the
propagators of one of the world=B4s most brutal dictatorships, people who=
have committed murders uncountable, who have condemned generations of
African people to destitution, then they can definitely forgive a woman
who sacrificed what most of us would not even dream of sacrificing. She
is a fighter and she will fight on, believe me. She has the support of
grassroots South Africa and even though my support does not count in
South Africa, she has my support as an African. Thanks.
Buharry.
BTW, are you Ousainou and Assan Jallow=B4s brother?

Dear Buharry,
Thanks for taking the time to send this very apt reminder..I am 29 years
old and I still cannot comprehend nor do I think I ever will what it must
have been or felt...the LADY is GREAT..and like all GREAT PEOPLE, other
humans will try to PULL YOU DOWN; in her struggle and OUR struggle, when
MANDELA had the luxury of conscience and she had to make LIFE and DEATH
choices, her mistakes are understandable and acceptable..compared with the
cold-blooded and calculated killing of Chris Hani or the calculated murders
of Steve Biko and other heroes of the Struggle..
ps..I am not underestimating Mandela's struggle and the choice he made or
had to make but i think and I know how it feels (in a little way) when
your conscience is imprisoned and you live with the fact that you have to
make choices to live, during the period of military rule in The Gambia, a
very good and close friend and brother was a security detainee; for his
sake and my own conscience, I never felt free during the 2 + years
in closing, Mr Buharry, yes I am Ouse and Assan's younger brother and I do
remember you from Serre Kunda School and thanks again for reminding us and
keeping things in their proper perspective..
pss: is there an e-mail address we can send our feelings and show our
support..a little token of solidarity with the other but EQUALLY if not
GREATER MANDELA ( WINNIE MADIKEZELA)

Folks,
It is my pleasure to indulge in this ..feel free to chip in ..The Gambia
Scorpions thrashed Cape Verde 3-1 with goals in the 6th, 51st and 57th
minutes by Ebou Silla, Jatto and Ebrima Sonko, all international players; I
really can't remember who scored Cape verde's goal but it seems The Gambia
is of with an excellent start..it could have easily been more.
Senegal and Mauretania played to 1-1 draw with Mauretania playing superior
tactical game and Senegal always failing to convert their chances into
goals, including missing 2 penalties..(nb..I saw 1 penalty missed but have
been told that a second was missed)..anyway Mauretania led through the
first half with a single goal and Senegal only equalised in 4 minutes of
injury time. I am still holding that for The Gambia to finally lift the
Trophy..we must watch out for our traditional opponents..Senegal and
defending champs, Sierra Leone.
Tomorrow (Saturday) Sierra Leone plays Guinea Bissau; Mali versus Guinea
Conakry..
ciao from Banjul

Thanx for the up-to-the-minute updates. CONGRATULATIONS to The Gambian
SCORPIONS for an awesome start!!!! Good luck all the way!!! Gentlemen, I
hope it would not be asking for too much to ask that you guys continue to
feed us with the details as the games progress. Nice start, by the way.
Pa Musa, you mentioned a few names from The Gambian side that are
currently playing on international soil. Can you please tell us where they
are playing, what team(s) they played for while they were in The Gambia, and
how long they have been gone. This may help some of us to identify who these
fellows are. I know Jatto, but the other two names are very unfamiliar.
Maybe i have been gone too long. Anyway nostalgia is beginning to set in, so
i better be going. Nice weekend everybody.
It's Tamsir.

Hi Pa Musa!
Yes, I thought it was you. It=B4s great that Gambia-l can bring us al=
l
together regardless of the distance between us. Regarding an e-mail
address where we can send our support to Winnie Mandela, I am not aware
of any. Maybe someone else can help. Maybe Moe can ask his South African
friend who wrote the original thread. Have a nice weekend.
Buharry.
P.S.
Say hi to Ousainou and Assan who were my classmates. I have not seen
Ousainou in over 14 years. I met Assan in London around 1991 when we
both visited Alieu Secka when he was studying there. Once again, it is
really nice to be able to get in touch despite the distance.
D.S.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Police investigating two murders
allegedly linked to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela found insufficient
evidence to prosecute her, a police commissioner testified Friday. .
George Fivaz told the commission looking into apartheid-era crimes
that police responded to tips and pleas from relatives of the victims
on several occasions, but did not find enough evidence to file
charges. He described a key witness against President Nelson Mandela's ex-wife
-- her former bodyguard Katiza Cebekhulu -- as unreliable because he
kept changing his story.
I am sending the full story to the bush.
Greetings

HAD DIED IN THE WORLD'S WORST HUMAN HOLOCAUST? THIS IS THE CLAIM OF
74 YEAR OLD BLACK ATTORNEY DR. ROBERT L. BROCK, EX-GARVEYITE, ATTORNEY
FOR A BLACK CLASS ACTION TAX CASE THAT EXHAUSTED LEGAL REMEDIES
THROUGH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT THIS YEAR AND IS NOW IN THE UNITED
NATIONS COURT, A VICTORY FOR AFRICAN SLAVE DESCENDANTS BY U.S. & IRS
DEFAULT IN THE CASE (Leonard Ashton et al versus The United States
Government and the Internal Revenue Service). PLEASE CONTACT DR. BROCK
FOR ALL THE REAL CONCEPTS AND DETAILS, BUT SEE THE ATTACHED EXCERPT
FROM BROCK'S BOOK. (Dr. Robert L. Brock, President, Self-Determination
Committee, P.O. Box 15288, Washington, D.C. 20003, telephone number
(202) 544-5366.
Excerpt from "Black Tax Rebellion in the U.S.A.: A Study" by Ida
Hakim Article
(from PASSPORT TO FREEDOM: WITH REPARATIONS AND SELF-DETERMINATION, by
Dr. Robert L. Brock, President, The Self Determination Committee,
Washington, D.C.) "PROTECTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW": Because of its
past and present criminal acts, the United States of America has
refused to ratify a number of different International Human Rights
Treaties and Conventions. By doing this, it protects itself from an
obligation of having to report to the United Nations. Evidence of this
reluctance can be found in the arguments when Congress was deciding
upon ratifying the Genocide Convention in 1970. This statement was
directed toward Senators Church, Javits, Cooper, Symington and Pell of
the Foreign Relations Sub-Committee: "At that time (referring to the
1950's) there was great alarm over the words, 'mental harm' but this
committee slew that dragon by defining the words to mean 'permanent
physical injury to mental faculties' and they set other guidelines
which are available to you. Rather than ratification encroaching on
our Constitutional law and authority, the very opposite can happen if
we do not ratify as you will see by reading Article 8....Any
Contracting Party may call upon the competent organs of the United
Nations to take such action under the Charter of the United Nations as
they consider appropriate for the prevention and Suppression of acts
of genocide or any other acts enumerated in this article
111....Gentlemen, do not take this cause lightly. I hold in my hand a
letter to me dated February 8, 1970 from Thomas Drake, president of
the United Alliance of African Organizations in which he states: "I
sure would like to be there to discuss with you in particular the
Genocide Covenant. It can be proven without a doubt that the act of
genocide is being used at this present time against my people here in
America." Please let me repeat that phrasing, 'against my people here
in America.' You know that the Black Nations in the U.N. far
outnumber us in their vote and actually numerically. What is to
prevent any one of these Nations from bringing an action against those
here in the United States who have committed Genocide, and they could
well bring charges against every school board member who has voted for
forced integration of our schools, federal judges who have issued
decrees and the United States Supreme Court. I doubt if there is much
you could do to stop the United Nations from bringing any of these
guilty parties before an International Court of Justice. Certainly
this argument makes clear the fear of retaliation and the knowledge of
the criminality of forced assimilation. This fear is based on reality.
When the rebellion of Blacks becomes a world issue, we will more than
likely see help coming from Member States of the United Nations. If
there is validity in Dr. Brock's arguments about a war of enslavement,
1st and 2nd class status based upon race and ethnicity, and one
continuous act of force against Blacks to this day, then there are
International Laws upon which the descendants of slaves can rely to
protect themselves which the United States Government has ratified
(perhaps believing that it would be able to escape charges on these
issues). The following quotes are arguments of dr. Brock which point
out the violations of Plaintiff's international rights: 1) "The
taking of Ashton's property and the force of arms approach on Ashton
to submit to the United States Jurisdiction violated International Law
rights of Ashton under the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights. Leonard Ashton is an international person with
International Common Law Domicile in Africa. The acceptance of Human
Rights Treaties by the aggressor United States, accused of Genocide,
Slavery and denial of self-determination, Ashton takes, and has as
beneficiary of all Treaties, and here charges the Judges and the
United States with violation of his rights under International Law."
2) "The present system of taxing Plaintiff by a two tier system and
citizenship by a two tier system is in violation of both the Genocide
Convention against Plaintiff as a group, and the International
Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and
Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery." 3) "The two
citizenship denies Plaintiff the equal use of the Bill of Rights or
First Ten Amendments due to Racial Discrimination distinction based
upon color and slave descent. As to the First Ten Amendments being
denied to Plaintiff in violation of the Treaties and Human Rights the
following is stated: The Fourteenth Amendment citizen has no inherent
constitutional right to any of the following: (a) peaceful assembly,
(b) exemption from compulsory self-incrimination, (c) trial by jury in
both civil and criminal cases, (d) right to bear arms, (e) prosecution
by indictment of a grand jury, and (f) right to be confronted with
witnesses, among others. The distinction between National and State
citizenship and their respective privileges there drawn has come to be
firmly established." 4) "Sovereign Immunity cannot be used for
individual persons to defeat slavery and genocide as both of them are
crimes by International Law, which is Public Law, whereas, the 13th
Amendment is Private Law set to correct a local condition of ending
slavery, caused and supported by the same government that allowed and
participated in it, therefore Plaintiff seeks the International Law on
slavery. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, ARTICLE 4: No one
shall be held in slavery or servitude and slavery and the slave trade
shall be prohibited in all their forms. For the purposes of the
present Convention: a) Slavery means, as defined in the Slavery
Convention of 1926, the status or condition of a person over whom any
and all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are
exercised, and "slave" means a person in such condition or status.
Plaintiff charges Defendant with slavery by taxation and for all other
actions amounting to slavery. The following acts constitute captivity
and slavery in violation of the Convention: Unilateral enactment of
the 14th Article of Amendment legislation as legislative citizens with
a grant periodically of civil rights and special privileges and
immunities, one of them being the burden of taxation, to which
Plaintiff objects, for the additional grounds touching no
jurisdiction." 5) "Genocide is a crime under International Law, like
piracy, torture, the Defendants by their failure to answer can, if
apprehended, be tried in foreign States as in Filariga versus
Pena-Irala, 630 F2d 876." 6) "That the Charter of the United Nations,
upon ratification by the U.S. Senate, became the supreme law of the
land, within constitutional provision, Article VI, Section 2, and once
ratified, failure of an organ of government to pass measures or to do
an act that is necessary to give effect to the ratified treaty cannot
be offered as an excuse for avoiding the responsibility incurred or
defeat Plaintiff's "rights", and that Defendant, United States, cannot
'adduce' its own constitution, laws, codes with a view to evading
obligations incumbent on Defendant, United States, under International
Law and under the Charter of the United Nations." 7) "Plaintiff
maintains that according to his alien status that the charges alleged
in this complaint fall within the 'core' of human rights violation on
slavery, genocide, self-determination, crimes against humanity,
requiring answer to disclaimer." 8) "In support of 'direct action
struggle' to achieve liberties, freedom and self-determination, having
disclaimed Defendants laws, the Black People will continue to use
International Laws, such as: The U.N. General Assembly Resolution
2625: EVERY STATE HAS A DUTY TO REFRAIN FROM FORCIBLE ACTION WHICH
DEPRIVES PEOPLE...OF THEIR RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION AND FREEDOM AND
INDEPENDENCE. Finally, the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights indicates a place of primacy for self-determination."
9) "Petitioner has as one of its challenges against the IRS that of a
disclaimer. The Petitioner uses only Treaties and Conventions and
Covenants one of which is the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights Part II, Article 2, and under which Petitioner Ashton
sues for the violations of his rights:Article 2: 3. Each State Party
to the present Covenant undertakes: (a) To ensure that any person
whose rights or freedoms as herein recognized are violated shall have
an effective remedy, notwithstanding that the violation has been
committed by persons acting in an official capacity; (b) To ensure
that any person claiming such a remedy shall have his right thereto
determined by competent judicial, administrative or legislative
authorities, or by any other competent authority provided for by the
legal system of the State, and to develop the possibilities of
judicial remedy; (c) To ensure that the competent authorities shall
enforce such remedies when granted." In the United States of America,
due to the efforts of Dr. Robert L. brock and Congressman John
Conyers, both the Judicial and the Legislative remedies have
apparently been exhausted. The Legislature has refused to take the
first step toward considering a remedy (HR 40 tabled since its
introduction in 1991), and as we have read, the judicial remedy is
exhausted. The references listed in this study, plus many other
references to International Laws, Covenants and Treaties in the legal
briefs of Dr. Brock, seem to be thorough enough to verify that slave
descendants have legal grounds and the United Nations has an
obligation. As we know, the Lost Found Nation under the guidance of
the Honorable Silis Muhammad, has already petitioned the United
Nations for intervention and reparations, using the Human Rights laws
which protect National Minorities. The Black Tax Rebellion gives
further validity to the arguments of the Lost Found Nation, and those
organizations (National Commission for Reparations and
C.U.R.E./A.F.R.E.) that are assisting the international effort. The
Honorable Silis Muhammad's plea must be heard now that rebellion
against tyranny and oppression has begun to take place in earnest.
Finally, we will provide an answer from the international community
itself, to the question put forward in the beginning of this study:
"Can the Black Tax Rebellion be defended, before Nations of the world,
as rebellion against tyranny? Dr. Y.N. Kly, international legal
scholar offers thee general types of claims available to (so-called)
African Americans on pages 70-72 of his book, A POPULAR GUIDE TO
MINORITY RIGHTS. Option one would be based on an agreement between the
National Minority and their Government. (The exhaustion of domestic
remedies means that this option has failed.) The second option would
involve a claim under the International Convention on Civil and
Political Rights with references made to 'recourse...to rebellion
against tyranny and oppression' set forth in the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights and the language in the Declaration of International
Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation Among States.
(Although Dr. Kly reminds the reader that he presumes it would be a
democratic assembly of the Minority that would bring these claims,
history tells us that rebellions are not begun by taking a vote.) Dr.
Kly's third option is quoted herein: "The third option would probably
be the most disruptive to positive relations between groups in the
United States. African-Americans could claim they have a right to
self-determination as a revolt against oppression and the violation of
their human rights. This would call attention to the long history of
gross violations of their human rights and the continuation of this
pattern into the present." Dr. Kly's options in International Law for
the slaves' descendants and their rebellion, seem to indicate that
Blacks are correct in taking legal, non-violent actions, and they
deserve the assistance of the world community. We in C.U.R.E./A.F.R.E.
urge the Nations of the world to respond.Black Tax Rebellion in the
U.S.A. is published by Ida Hakim for C.U.R.E./A.F.R.E., P.O. Box 6103,

Hi all on the list
Another day with the tournament has successfully ended.
The 1st match turned out to be a victory for the Leone Stars of Sierra
Leone, with a 2 - 1 victory over Guinea Bissau after discounting 2 of the
goals shoots of the Leone Stars disallowed by the referee.
The Leone Stars team, currently the Trophy's champions, is said to have
been reinforced bearly 24 hours ago when some of the players successfully
made their way through the borders of crisis striven Sierra Leone with the
aid of the ECOMOG forces. Anyway despite their troubles back home they
are apparently a formidable force that the Scorpions need not under rate.
Their coordination during the match despite virtually no preparatory team
workings leaves doubts in me of excuses made by some African international
players that they would not perform well locally as they do on the
international scene because it would take a while to get into the local
team's rhythm.
The 2nd match between Guinea Conakry and Mali ended up in a deadlock with a
goal-less draw.
If I were to opt for a replay of any of the matches played to date, I
would not hesitate to request for this 2nd match of today between Guinea
Conakry and Mali. The ball play was fast, the passes were accurate, and the
technical formation satisfactory on both sides. It is also noteworthy that
Guinea Conakry is the only team represented in the tournament that is
qualified for the next continental Africa Cup 1998 in Burkina Faso.
This appearance of theirs in the tournament would surely add to their
experience build up for the Cup of Nations.
So far, Gambia is leading in Group A with 3 points followed by Senegal and
Mauritania with 1 point each, whereas in Group B Sierra Leone leads with 3
points followed also by Guinea and Mali with 1 point each.
Tomorrow Gambia plays with Mauritania in the 1st match while Cape Verde
takes on Senegal in the 2nd.
Nice weekend.
