Who are they kidding?  Jammeh a man of peace and all what not.  Let the
truth be told, both Yaya and the MFDC are using each other for their own
ends.  The former is after the timber and other natural resources and a
chance to an upper hand against Dakar, and the later is using Yaya for
protection and bailout whenever they are cornered.  If they can shower
praises on Yaya to bail Djiba out of Bissau, then why not hoodwink the fool.
  They will only succeed depending on what Wade does.  Both Wade and the
MFDC claim that Yaya is a man of peace, while Gambians are being slaughtered
at our boarders and Dakar accusing Gambia of harboring terrorists.  However,
Wade knows that Yaya is in bed with the MFDC and Dakar is very aware of Yaya
and his greater Jola aspirations.  Well, let's keep sleeping at the switch
while trouble is brewing in our backyard.  We may rip the seeds of deceit we
are sowing and it may not be pretty.



MFDC Urges Jammeh To Mediate

The MFDC has urged President Jammeh to initiate negotiations aimed at
finding a peaceful and lasting solution to the two -decade long crisis in
the southern province of Casamance, Radio Gambia reported yesterday. In a
letter signed on behalf of the MFDC, the Interior General Secretary of the
movement responsible for military affairs, Mr. Sidi Badjie described
President Jammeh as a real man of peace whom they encouraged and thanked for
all what he has been doing to bring the people of Casamance out of this
crisis.

The MFDC also says President Jammeh’s action have had a positive impact as
the MFDC and Senegalese Government resumed negotiations on March 25th his
year. The MFDC also appealed to President Jammeh to do everything he can to
secure the unconditional release of their spokesman and chief negotiator
Alexander Djiba whom they claimed has been arrested by President Kumba Yala

will create a good climate for negotiation.”
