Subject: [G_L] The Gambian National Assembly Refuses to Ratify US
Maritime Drug Trafficking Agreement
To: [log in to unmask]
www.gambiadaily.co.ukNewsThe Gambian National Assembly Refuses to Ratify
US Maritime Drug Trafficking AgreementGambias rubberstamp lawmakers sent
the bill for amendment citing the reasons that the agreement has already
been in force before they are asked to ratify it. The majority leader,
Fabakary TombongJatta, on Wednesday June 27, 2013, during the second
sitting of the national assembly this legislative year, led the refusal
which was seconded by Lamin Jammeh, National Assembly member for Illiasa
and even the minority leader agreed. It is believed by commentators that
this refusal was staged and supported by Yaya Jammeh, the iron fist
ruler of The Gambia who has been accused by independent media and
commentators of being complicit in drug trafficking. Another reason
given for the tearing of the agreement was national sovereignity,as the
agreement was only enforceable in the Gambian waters, stated the
majority leader. It should be recalled that Class 1 drugs worth over
$1bn in street value were confiscated by Gambia Police in June 2010 with
the help of UK's Serious Crime Unit. The region has been targetted by
South African drup cartels because of poverty and corrupt government
officers and bad governance. The maritime agreement relating to the the
control of Illicit Transnational Maritime Activity, was first agreed
between the the governments in 2011 on 12 October, with the then
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Tangara and US embassador, Pamela
White. The bill was introduced by the the Secretary of State for Works,
Construction and Infrastructure, Francis Liti Mboge, who explained to
the house the importance of such lateral agreements citing reasons such
as the the ability to detect, control illegal activities at sea,
including illicit fishing, drug trafficking and piracy, as well as
fostering close ties between the two countries.

Subject: [G_L] The meaning of Yinkering
To: [log in to unmask]
"I would be grateful if you could tell us the meaning of yinkering. I'm
afraid my Mandinka is not that deep..." Baba Galleh
Dr Jallow as a word's smith yourself, the meanings of statements and
words depends on the context. The word here infer to the 'academic work
you do'.. Yinker (deeply analytical and meditative). This word is
usually reserves for the grand marabouts, who would take time of normal
socialising to concentrate and provide answers to a task.... WIth my
limited knowledge of American academic calender, I am assuming the term
end is nigh and thus marking and tiding...Hence 'Ibe Yinker kan'.
Abarakah.
