What kind of ? is this? I am darn proud of whatI am born into. I am just disgusted the culture we have embraced and seem unable or unwilling to change.
It is not that we have not attempted to dislodge Jammeh, we have, five times and they have all failed. That is not stopping us from trying; and we still are. It will happen; believe me; with or without outside help.
Quoting Victor Narwortey <[log in to unmask]>:
Herr ! Mr Jallow,
There are no men in the Gambia? Why do you want Ghana to topple your president for you? Like I said before, you are the problem you are talking about, and the solution you are looking for. It's in between your legs, get some ball and act now!!

Hmmmmm. Nice advice at the end there. That is a good bumper-sticker; isn't it. I will marinate on it for a little while. All said I get your point and aurprise, surprise, I think the message is kind of valid.
Back to Mills and Jammeh. The sole survivor has testified and I have the full story, which I will look up in the archives of The Gambia Echo and post here. And guess what, six months ago, Jammeh dug up eight bodies and shipped them to Ghana. Now they are saying they were only eight murdered by Jammeh's thug soldiers. Personally, I wanted to Ghana to be so mad, really mad and attack The Gambia and help us remove this idiot we have; like Tanzania did to Idi Amin. I have published several stories around this issue in Ghanaian newspaper; dating back to John Kaffur's presidency, and I still do. I wrote an open letter to Mills after his meeting with Jammeh, which was publised in the: modernghana newspaper. So, on this, atleast, I have someone who thinks like I do. Thanks.

I was one of the few people who was not satisfied with the way the Mills administration handled the state sponsored murder of the 44 Ghanaians. And the body language and photo short of the meeting between Jammeh and Mills at the Tripoli meeting has obviously been sending some signals. That being said, I'm not privy to any underhand currupt activities to cover up this heneous crime. These questions still bother me though; (1) why was the bodies buried in haste months before the meeting? And (2) why has the case not been sent to the international court of justice in the Hague? So at least the only survival who is well and alive in Ghana now can come forward and testify on what really occurred on that horrible day.
Mr Jallow, I gotta let you know, any form of stereotypical generalization is just wrong. Your submission on Africa and Africans is just a clear case of you ignoring history. Don't forget " if you have your finger pointing at something or someone, you should know the rest are pointing at you. Please !! Look within your self, you are the problem you are talking about and the solution you are looking for.
Respectfuly
Victor

I am simply making an accusation based on my knowledge of how Yahya Jammeh operates. Secondly, at AU's meeting in Tripoli late last year, Mills and Jammeh met to discuss the massacre. At that meeting Jammeh agreed to compensate the families of the dead, they shook hands and called it a day. If the Commonwealth Secretariat had not intervened, Mills was ready to give a pass. And you think Mills will do that because Jammeh charmed him? Corruption and projecting on an air of importance is our second mature, when in fact we are empty no-bodies. We just suck as a people. And it is not only we Africans; it is blacks in America, in the Caribbean, in South America; everywhere. If the U.S. had a tenth of the natural resources Africa has, they would be building underground cities on the moon by now. I cannot prove it, but I am pretty sure Mills got his palm greased by Jammeh. And I can bet my bottom dollar on this. It is not
a crime to
accuse, is it?

Brother Matthew,
An interesting contribution on the drugs seizure in the Gambia. My concern however is, where is the link between President Jammeh playing host to a Guinea Bissau drug baron and the payment of "bribe" to President Mills of Ghana?. The massacre of Ghanaians in Gambia happened in 2005 when President Mills was not in power. By implication, are you saying President Mills on assuming office put pressure on President Jammeh resulting in the payment of "lots of money" to silence him? You make a valid point alluding to the fact that African leaders have not done a good job of keeping drugs off our shores, but please do not throw mud at leaders for who you may not have facts to support. Unless if you do not mind sharing any facts to back up your accusations of President Mills. My two cents.

This is the new Gambia, but The Gambia is, infact, only a minor player in this West African drug trade. The drug trade, as a matter of fact, extends from Nigeria to Mauritania. This is not the first drug seizure, for The Gambia as a matter of fact. A ship laden with bags of what was marked as "Fertilizer" for Gambia's Department of Agriculture, was apprehened by a US Coast Guard ship, in the high seas off the coast of Mauritania and Senegal. The ship was bound for the port of Banjul. The Gambia has been a center of transhipment of South American drugs bound for Europe and the US for many years now. Guinea Bissau that is developing into the Somalia of West Africa, is the major hub in the triangular drug trade; South America to West africa to Europe; or South America, West Africa and the US. Bissau has not had a stable government in many years now, and the drug baron there, who was also head of the
Bissau navy was
exiled in The
Gambia for
more than a year, as guest Gambia's Yahya Jammeh. By the way, for those who do not know it, Jammeh massacred 44 Ghanaians in The Gambia in 2005,accusing them of mercenary activities with Gambia's overseas dissidents. He probably paid Ghana's Mills lots of money to not proceed with the investigation. So there you have it. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Are we Africans cursed or what? Me think so.
