Again, I am sending this e-mail unedited and in a rush. It came from a
source in the Gambia.

>Well, Jammeh thought that his "100-feet deep speech" will instill fear in

>recall that I made a passing reference to the speech to his thugs at the 22
>July Movement when he was boasting about the money he has acquired for
>himself and his family, which was not in the verbatum report from The
>POINT. however, there is a supplimentary to the POINT report capturing
>Jammeh's bragging about his wealth. The fall-out resulting from the speech
>will be felt in the next few days.  There is a Secretary of State and
>another hig-ranking supporter of the APRC who will resign from the
>Government and the APRC. One of them was so despondent and embarrassed by

>Jammeh cabinet were taken aback by the complete statement which they read
>in the POINT for the first time and in full except for the portion that
>dealt with his personal wealth.
>I attended a meeting and at the end of it, a high ranking member of the
>cabinet was heard talking to a colleague about the speech which he called
>"inappropriate" from the "boss". Another member of the Cabinet was called
>to a family meeting and asked to resign from the Jammeh regime. Some
>resignations will occur soon within the ranks of the APRC Government which
>Yahya will convert into dismissals.
>With the negative effects expected from the speech, maybe we need more of

>soften the under-belly of this demonic regime whose back we will see but
>with violence because of the mental state of Yahya Jammeh.
>PLEASE CIRCULATE THE POINT REPORT, AS SUGGESTED BY SEVERAL MEMBERS, AS
>WIDELY AS POSSIBLE TO THE EU, US GOVERNMENT, INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION.
>JAMMEH HAS DONE US ANOTHER FAVOUR.
