Gambia-L:

An open letter that came from one of my sources in the Gambia. I am again
sending it as received: unedited.

Ebrima

PS: My source, for sure, I for one will react to the Letter of Intent in the
third week of August when my home computer would have been connected to the
Internet. It is a shame that I can't spend a longer time on the Net these
days. In fact, I haven't yet read the Letter of Intent.

>
>Ebrima,
>This message is addressed to ALL members of the Gambia-L. Mori Kebba Jammeh
>has provided you with the Letter of Intent of the Jammeh regime to the IMF
>which can be accessed from the IMF web site. Please study the letter
>carefully and discuss it thoroughly for the benefit of the Gambian people
>and the internatonal donor community. The multiple face of Yahya Jammeh and
>his Government is being displayed live for every one to see.  What is
>certain is that even the Vice president of The Gambia is not aware of what
>goes on in this Government much more the lesser cabinet members.  I am
>throwing out a challenge to Hamjatta, Dr. Saine, Dr. Katim S. Touray, Kebba
>Dampha, Ebou Colly, Ebou Jallow, Saul SaidyKhan, Saul Mbenga, Amadou Kabir
>Njie, Comrade Jassey-Conteh, Bamba Laye, Gearge Sarr and your good self
>Ebrima, together with the rest of the membership to disect the letter piece
>by piece to appreciate what Ebrima's sources have been trying to say for
>the last several months.  This Letter is too important to attract side
>comments and full stop. I will contribute to the discussion in the coming
>weeks and months as promised.  As I said, most if not all of members of
>Cabinet are seeing this letter for the first time. It is as much a surprise
>to them as to you and me. So please, I am appealing to all of you to
>carefully study its content and tell me that this Government is truely a
>legitimate one. This Government, in my book, is a rogue Government that
>lies to its people and to the international community about the true state
>of affairs in our beloved country. I only hope that ALL of you do justice
>to the letter. Look at what they say about the agriculture sector, look at
>what they say about the GGC, look at what they say about the domestic debt
>and the arrears to parastatals etc. etc. Let us focus on the issues raised
>in the letter to the IMF, try to reach some form of a consensus and decide
>how to go from there. The Commonwealth Secretariat will certainly hear from
>me through Ebrima. The IMF will also hear from me through someone closer to
>Washingdon DC. Let us get moving on this one as we have done in other
>matters of national concern. LONG LIVE THE GAMBIA.
