Again I am sending this e-mail from a source in the Gambia unedited.

>Ebrima,
>I am sure you have heard about the "six-feet deep" statement by Jammeh . I
>told you several weeks ago that Jammeh is unwell, both physically and
>mentally. I also told you that the gambian people have lately come to
>realise that after all, Jammeh is full of hot air. He has an inferiority
>complex despite the fact that he is the most powerful man in The Gambia
>presently and undisputably the richest Gambian. He has to resort to
>intimidation and murder not only to silence his critics and the opposition
>but to regain the upper hand.  But I have news for Jammeh. The people are
>no longer afraid on neither his thugs nor his guns. The people shall never
>cede the spotlight. The center stage will never be relinguished by the
>Gambian people without a fight.  Intimidation, rape, murder and other forms
>of crimes committed by the Jammeh regime will not achieve his primary goal
>of gaining the upper hand.  The people have it and shall not forfeit it
>without a fight. He has promised to sweep Radio Gambia clean of what he
>percieve to be a den of opposition elements simply because, according to
>Jammeh, "the way they (Radio Gambia) edit his speeches." Well, the news
>editors and readers at Radio Gambia are not the target of Jammeh. My
>contacts at Kanilai tell me that your(Ebrima's) response to his 22 July
>statement especially your comments on his pictures that accompanied his
>statement on the QANET site got him REALLY mad. The pictures were truely
>awful but, again, that was Jammeh-that's the way the monster looks these
>days:awful looking. I will give him this one this time around. It is not
>Jammeh's fault to look the way he does. So you cannot blame him. If he
>chooses to blame Radio Gambia for the way he looks then I guess you should
>begin to believe what i have been saying all along: JAMMEH HAS GONE NUTS.
>Ebrima, "Radio Gambia" is not a single legal entity; remember there is the
>television aspect of the operation-Gambia Radio and Television Services
>(GRTS).Radio Gambia is a short hand for radio and television so expect
>Jammeh to go for the jogular. GRTS personnel have been aware of Jammeh's
>intentions all along and so it is no news to them. Consequently, over ten
>staff members have gone on abroad and stayed put in the UK and Germany
>while others are finding their way into the USA. They are fleeing at such
>an alarming rate that the Director of GRTS, acting in desperation,
>contacted the Personnel Management Office (PMO) with instructions not to
>allow any more of his staff to go on study leave with salary and/or be
>endorsed any training request until further notice. IT IS THAT BAD, EBRIMA.
>So I will not be surprised if Jammeh finds no one to sweep when he gets to
>"Radio Gambia". They would have all fled the country to avoid being further
>persecuted by this illegal regime. Tombong also wrote to the US & UK
>Embassies here and asked them not give visas to his staff this year.
