Gambia-L:
I have just received a hurriedly written private e-mail from someone
claiming to be from the same family with Simon Talibo Sanneh who has reacted
to the piece below, sent by one of my sources in the Gambia on the
relationship between Cheyassin Secka, Simon Talibou Sanneh and one
"Commander Nasile."
In short, the person who has sent me this private e-mail did assure me that
there was nothing "sinister" going on involving Simon Talibou and Cheyassin
against the Gambia or Jammeh. He said he was aware of some old "enemies" of
Secka at the NIA who were/are trying to "create confusion" between
Cheyassin, Simon Talibou and Yaya Jammeh.
But God, he went on, would protect Simon and Secka. He implied that Simon
Talibou Sanneh's frequent visits to the Sub-region were not for clandestine
purposes, but rather to visit "Marabouts".

>>Ebrima,
>>My intelligence sources are providing me with information which require
>>further analysis. The raw information has to be processed and verified
>>before counter measures are taken. The opposition is aware and the
>>situation is being well monitored. The UDP intelligence network is far
>>superior to that of this regime as it has been demonstrated time and time
>>again. The Basse incident is a good case in point. The UDP got the
>>information that Baba Jobe and his brother were planning to ambush their
>>entourage which was reproted by Femi Peters to the Banjul Police well
>>before the incident took place. Now
>>this piece concerns the alliance between Cheyassin Secka and Simon Talibo
>>Sanneh both of whom, as you know, were involved in both the planning and
>>execution of the ill-fated 1981 coup d'etat against the Jawara regime.
>>Several meetings have been held between Cheyassin, Simon Talibo Sanneh and
>>one "Commander Nasile" in Burkina Faso. And to facilitate Talibo Sanneh's
>>movements within the region, including Guinea-Bissau and Burkina-Faso,
>>Cheyassin has given one of the two vans he took on credit from CFAO (which
>>I reported earlier)to Simon Talibo Sanneh. He is seen driving Cheyassin
>>around at times. Their relationship has become closer since their days at
>>Mile 2 doing life. And now that both of them are "free men" and still with
>>the undiminished desire of Cheyassin to be President of The Republic of
>>The
>>Gambia, something appears to be in the making but, as I said, things are
>>not yet clear. But the alliance between Cheyassin, Simon Talibo Sanneh and
>>the "Commader Nasile" is of concern not only to the Opposition and the
>>diplomats, but also to the Civil Servants. This is all I wish to say on
>>this development for now, except that both Cheyasssin and Simon Talibo
>>Sanneh are very well aware of the fact that there is a complete break down
>>of law and order in the Gambia. Cheyassin would like to further his aims
>>by
>>contributing to the already existing lawlessness and chaos and that is one
>>of the reasons why he is pursuing Ousainou's case in court. If he succeeds
>>in placing Ousainou in remand, the stage would have been set. Mark my
>>word.
