LETTER TO EDITOR YANKUBA JABANG

Editor Jambang:After reading through your editorial last evening, I came across a piece relating to Sam Sarr’s topic - 'The genesis of tribalism in Gambian politics'. I must say here that, the angle from which you looked at the topic was very interesting and relevant to our history. The references you provided for your readers will be helpful to many Gambians who are interested in the history of our country. Any honest writer willing to delve into the already tense debate must bear in mind that evidences are available at their disposal to use as a measure of accuracy and reliability. Our history is recorded in many books; pretenders and opinion makers must remember that young Gambians aren't falling in for household names in making up their minds. We want accurate accounts of our history - Nothing more and nothing less! The Cambridge University press is world renowned institution of higher education and research, known for its authenticity and reliability. Gambians must now do themselves a great favour and start checking hitherto distorted facts. Thanks Mr. Jambang for starting another dimension to the debate. Good luck. Suntou Touray U.K
