William Gbing-Gbing O'Bai Konekay Bangura,
Dr. Davidson Nicol did a lot of good during his lifetime. May the Almighty be pleased with him. Here is Stockholm early in 1972 at dinner at the Grand Hotel something terrible happened with me, but he was still in control of the situation - he merely asked me, " Cornelius, how is your mother? " Earlier on I had refused to shake hands with Jerome Holland, the US Ambassador to Sweden when Dr. Nicol presented me to him. I kept my hand in my pocket. My attitude was, " get the hell out of Vietnam!" After that, a lot of bad things happened.
Between September and December 1969, whilst Ibrahim Taqi was Minister of Information, he visited me and Mary Ann Rogers-Wright at Mathura in Magburaka at least ten times.
Speaking more directly, you could have very well said that as a member of the APC, our very learned non-Creole friend Dr. Abdulai Osman Conteh who as the state prosecutor and attorney-general asked for the death penalty at the Treason trial of Dr. Mohamed Forna, Ibrahim Taqi and the 14 other political martyrs, was one of the main instruments of the injustice.
Who were the presiding judges? Who were the lawyers representing the accused?
Since the Temnes are the numerically strongest ethnic portion of Sierra Leone, why don't they take advantage of their numerical superiority? Please tell us why.
And the SLPP, the Sierra Leone opposition and civil society, the Temne Chiefs? The Mende Chiefs? The friendly neighbouring countries such as Ghana, Nigeria, Guinea, Liberia? The Organization of African Unity? The United Nations? The United Kingdom? The Commonwealth? The Church of England? The World Council of Churches? The Vatican?
At least I wrote to Pa Shaki and advised him to not even dream of ever burying nuclear waste in Sierra Leone. He must have received a lot of other behind the scenes advice which got him to drop that very bad idea.
Someone like Wole Soyinka did go on a world tour in his campaign against Abacha, but in Sierra Leone, land of the free, before and after that treason trial, what did the Honourable Temne people do on their own behalf and on behalf of Sierra Leone? Please tell us.
Some more Sierra Leone Creoles of note, trying to uphold a system of JUSTICE:
Sir Henry Josiah Lightfoot Boston ( A first class degree in Law)
Thanks. Your Davidson Nicol was part of the cabal who executed my Themne people. At the U.N. in 1970 he advocated for the rights of the Palestinians. But not for the rights of Ibrahim and M.O. Taqi, and Dr. Mohammed Sorie Forna who were imprisoned for three years by your Siaka Stevens and his APC, because the aforementioned had resigned from his party in September of that year.William Gbing-gbing Konekay😎--On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 4:34 PM Cornelius Hamelberg <corneliushamelberg@gmail.com> wrote:--
