Mr. Conteh,
Thank you for hitting directly at the top of the nail again. This is the
conduct of a good leader! I was informed two years ago by a friend, to alarm
the people opposing Yaya Jammeh`s regime to be watchful with Joe Sambou. The
guy mentioned this ceesay surname, but all I can remember is
" Eku Boppa ". If this is the same guy, then my sources were correct.
Sources confirmed that whilst Joe was shouting on the G-L, he was meeting
this " Eku Boppa " at the Embassy very often. He was / is always playing the
roll of distracting oppositions on anything they organise against Yaya,
where he
will pretend as, if he is against Yaya. I, for one, heavily suspected him on
our Radio Tam Tam interview, when he said that he is fully aware of
everything happening on the ground and was stressing that we all should go
on the ground and face armed Yaya with his gang. ( Pls. listen to the Tam
Tam interview )
How can an unarmed person fight with an armed person.? I have been attacking
Yaya Jammeh
as the tribalist with his Jola supporters, but Joe will always reply and
generalise my attack
to all the Jolas. One can see the strategy Joe is playing, when we say the
word Jola. All this is part of his roll to distract the people opposing Yaya
Jammeh. We thank God that he has exposed himself by attacking innocent
people. I have no interest in politics, neither to get any post in Gambia. I
felt it
is very unfair for a small boy from  ZERO INCOME stole power from the
Gambian people, started
killing, torturing, harassing, intimidating, exiling and punishing a whole
nation and
said we should not speak our minds. The most unfortunate part is, he
dominated our selfish
opportunists to keep playing his tribalism card to keep him in power. Pls.
tell me whether
Jammeh has murdered any Jola in his long murder list? We all should open our
eyes to know
whether Jammeh is a tribalist? He covered himself by using other tribes
surrounding him, and giving all
the key security positions to Jolas well armed. Who are these fools fooling?
Thank God, this lunatic sambou
inside us has been uncovered! Keep up the good work!

Mr. Fye.
