VISACA BANK ROBBED AND BREAD SHORTAGE



     In my last postings everyone was informed that the current crises in
The Gambia under mad Yahya cannot be concealed by the GRTS and daily
observer,because it is too much for them.Reporting on the side effects of
Yahya's arms that are flowing within that area,we also told our readers
that many bandits are armed and uncontrollable.This evening the same
observer could not avoid reporting two striking stories.
That a Vissaca bank in Jokadu was robbed by unknown assailants who went
away with D8,800.00.We also saw them report on the acute shortage of bread
because there is no flour in The Gambia.Ofcourse OPTV warned that this is
going to be a very long and bitter road for our poor and helpless people.
Yahya as I said earlier cannot stand an economic war fare from Wade.Even if
Yahya wants to appease with Wade the old man will not allow him because
every member of Wade's government is extremely angry with Yahya's mad way
of doing things.
       Some intelligence has already reported that Yahya has mental
problems.Would Wade want to be seen as someone siding with mad people like
Yahya? That is not even good for Wade's internal politics.
Coming back to the stories on observer,it is very sad that our poor farmers
cannot even be protected.This robbery has also exposed one thing ie that
the vissaca banks are nothing compared to other countries.A whole bank
keeping nothing more than 9000 dalasis? When Yahya and his wife are
spending 60,000 dollars on one single trip to go and buy clothes?!
Goodness! I am really sorry for our unfortunate Republic.The shortage of
basic commodities will continue because the vendors and other petty traders
have been insulted and abused by the very so-called leader who should have
protected them and their interests.This economic war fare will make Yahya
spend long and sleepless nights before he attempts running away.As far as
banditry is being encouraged from Kanilai and his representatives are THE
GREEN BOYS AND THE JUNGLERS ,Yahya will certainly face the flames in and
out of The Gambia.
       I was laughing today when I saw Liberia's interim president on CNN
and he was being received by all those shakers and movers in
Washington,Newyork and other important places in the US.This man is just an
interim leader from a war torn country! Yahya after ten years as a so-
called leader cannot still see an under secretary of state?Why? Because
Yahya is not a real president and he represents a mad institution.There is
no difference between Yahya and those scattered war lords in Somalia.The US
sends ambassadors to the country and it's people but not Yahya,he will
present his credentials and then laughs at our mad man.
Sometimes it is a shame for one to say that he or she is from The Gambia
and then show Yahya as one's leader!
     I came to the satisfactory conclusion beyond reasonable doubt that  he
is not an elected  president,but just an armed  bandit like any war
lord.Now I challenge his cronies to tell me if The Gambia is safe when our
local banks are being robbed and people are being left dead without the
police being able to catch the wrong doers?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are
yet to hear from Pa Ahmady Jallow to tell us who killed Gibba(nia) and
Mendy the youth leader? Fellow Gambians,Jallow cannot talk because those
killers appointed him.
After the shortage of flour we will experience the shortage of
kerosene,petrol,sugar etc etc.Already we know that getting aspirine at any
of the hospitals is luxury,not to think of being admitted and recieiving
good treatment! When Yahya's Myriam Jammeh hops to Washington and then gets
a flu shot.Yahya cannot even understand that he is doing it to himself
because sending for the medicine and the disposable synringes is
cheaper.Myriam could be injected in Banjul with the same thing if shipped
from Washington.But the mad man listens to the naar's excuses and then
leaves her to fly accross the atlantic for a flu shot and other dirty
errends she may want to run.Yahya says AHA to everyhthing she says because
he is scared to death to lose that girl.
Our poor people will drum and dance for this armed bandit and then their
meager resources be robbed at night by the rebels that he arms every day.
