>1996 "elections" which transformed Yahya into a civilian president.
>Gambians being the ever forgiving people they are, were prepared to give

>He was convinced that by terrorising the population, he could get away with

>Those surrounding him are very well aware of the nonentity and the

>and her peoples. Well, they have under-estimated the tolerance level of the

>their campaign tour of URD that they were finished. That's the reason why
>Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay spent the entire night posting messages on the
>Gambia-L. You cannot blame her; she is a desperate woman who needs help
>psychologically, emotionally and physically. She knows that the game is up.
>Gambians are ready to march to State House on Thursday to install their new
>President: President Ousainou N. Darboe.  The military came out clean
>today. We hope that the police will do like wise.  The burning down of the
>Local Government Department should be investigated thoroughly and
>professionally, devoid of politics. The Opposition will do nothing to
>jeopardise their insurmountable lead in the polls. Coach, take it from me,
>YAHYA JAMMEH IS FINISHED.
