Gambia-L; The e-mail below has been sent by one of my sources in the Gambia. Ebrima Ceesay __________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Cheyassin is determined to remand Ousainou >Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 14:27:16 GMT > >Ebrima, >I reported yesterday that Cheyassin called up a meeting of his "green" >laywers to press on the case to have Ousainou Darbo and the leadership of >the UDP remanded in jail. Well, Ousainou and his supporters are in Court >this morning. The size of the crowd and the vehicular traffic deemed it >impossible for me to get close to the Court House. So, I will be patiently >waiting for the end of the Court session to be able to inform the L and the >world of the outcome. >A top security/army officer told me late last night that should Cheyassin >and the Attorney General's Chambers continue to press this case and succeed >in putting Ousainou Darbo and members of the UDP behind bars, then there >will be "action". When I pressed him for elaboration of what he meant by >"action" and from which quarter, his response was "I am not free to say and >I hope you understand." I said to him:I do understand. I am extremely close >to this particular security/army officer. >I will try to get in touch with you once I receive some concrete >information on the outcome of this morning's court appearance by Ousainou >and his supporters. Meanwhile, Ebrima, the Kanilai butcher >Yahya is feeling the heat even in Kanilai. So, please, there should be no >letting up at this point. I just saw Saul's posting regarding the visa >application of Zainab and her entourage to enter the US. He is right; there >is a hitch. What Yahya and his gang of thieves fail to realise is that The >Gambia is being treated as a pariah state/a terrorist state. So, >henceforth, every and all visa application coming from this regime will be >scrutinised and rejected if necessary. The baby shower may have to be put >off because the current information I have is that the Americans will not >issue her a visa since they know she is pregnant and would want to deliver >Paul Sambou's baby in the US. The visa that she may be issued with is a >short-term one to make sure that she gets out of town before she delivers >baby "Sambou" on US soil.But the way things look, she might be denied the >visa afterall. >I continue to remind you that "these people" will have no place to hide. >First the bees, then amongst themselves; and yesterday at the Roots >festival in Kanilai, one of the ritual dancers, I don't know the local >name, knifed or shot himself accidentally. The "TUUL" failed to work. Now >the US visa consellor has joined the fray. They will get it from all sides. >IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND THE CONTINUED RESISTANCE OF THE GAMBIAN >PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY MAY BE. So long for now. I have been promised the list >of the people targeted for "elimination". I'll send it when received. I >also have additional information on Lt Lalo Jaiteh and others which I'll >send later. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
