Gambia-L:

I am sending the e-mail below unedited. It came from a source in the Gambia.
Again, just ignore the typographical errors if there are any.

>Ebrima,
>I believe all of us have now agreed on one thing and that is Yahya Jammeh
>is mentally deranged. A so-called Head of State inciting the youth of this
>country to flout the Constitution. Speaking in Mandinka, using inflamatory,
>uncouth and down right uncivilised language, Yahya has once again
>demonstrated his inability to lead The Gambia. A copy of his statement has
>been distributed yesterday to all International agencies represented in The
>Gambia for the record. It also helps them understand the moron that Jammeh
>is and how to deal with him in the future.
>One of Yahya's biggest problems is how to face the Gambian farmers come
>September/October during his meet the people's tour. The man is scared to
>face the farmers to explain to them why he could not buy their groundnuts
>in two consecutive seasons.  This year will be NO different. He has
>destroyed the Gambian economy, the structures have been dismantled by Baba
>Jobe with no viable system in place and Yahya knows it. True to form, he
>lashes out at those he calls Janka***How can the opposition buy the
>farmer's harvests? Is it their responsibility to do so? Of course not. It
>is the Janka***of Kanilai whose responsibility it is to make sure that his
>Government has a system in place to replace GGC, which they confiscated
>from the legitimate owners, to purchase the groundnuts from the farmers. He
>is looking for a scape goat but he will not find one. Because he, the
>Janka.. of Kanilai, is responsible for the mess that The Gambia finds
>itself in.
>An insane person, of course, cannot reason and therefore to try and respond
>to his illogical statements such as his claim that "this government was not
>created by elections, but brought to power by Allah who also wills when it
>will come to an end" would be an exercise in futility. All I can say at
>this point is that the APRC will do everything within its means to stifle

>ITS WAY, THERE WILL BE NO ELECTIONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL BE TROUNCED
