Ebrima,
I must commend your sources for all these powerful information it keeps
supplying to the L through you.
However, I can assure your informant that the US government is well aware of
what Jammeh is up to. He is being well monitored. Some of us here on the
ground have been well informed of his lobbying. Sine the time of Tombong at
the Embassy, we have revealed and got information from their lobbyist who
revealed to us that he was paid by Gamtel and the check was delivered by
Tombong Saidy. He tried by all means for years to get Jammeh visit and meet
with high ranking US officials, but to no avail. His services have been
terminated since Jammeh's only visit to the US for he failed them so
seriously, they thought.
And to those who might not understand the political system here, the lobbying
group first hired was very active in Gay rights activities and lobbying, so
the Republicans did not open their doors to them very well. They control both
houses at the moment.
On this new strategy which Mr. Ambassador Bojang and the New York office is
embarking on, the chances are more slimmer. The US government is well aware
of the fact that Gambia government took a lot of money from Taiwan and Libya
to furnish their Permanent Representative status in the United Nations. My
advise to the jammeh government is that he has to respect his own people
first. threatening to bury opponents six feet deep, killing our own kids, and
butchering every opponent he could lay his hand on is not going to make him
any more than he is, a Killer. The best lobbyist are the Gambians themselves.
I would want to tell all those in the United States that they could be very
instrumental by calling their local congress men and women and Senators to
tell them how they feel. One might not be able to talk to them directly, but
every single call is considered. One could send Emails too.
Once again Ebrima, tell your sources to keep the struggle on. jammeh will
exit soon.

Ousman Bojang.
