Gambia-L:

The e-mail below came from a source in the Gambia. I am sending it unedited.

>Subject: "Samba Boye" on Ousman Jammeh: A case in point
>Date: Ebrima,
>The most recent posting on the issue on whether Ousman Jammeh will be the
>next AG or not is a perfect illustration of what you and I exchanged
>messages on at least two occasions. I try to provide the bear minimum of
>information because I cannot afford at this stage to give full details for
>obvious reasons. What I said about Ousman was the bear minimum because as I
>said then, I know him very well. He is a Jammeh sympathiser and he will
>accept the post of AG, if offered. This came as a surprise to some on the L
>for understandable reasons. The transformation of Gambian society under
>Jammeh is phenominal which most, on the List, have not witnessed the
>process.  Sychophancy and corruption under Jammeh has never been seen
>before in the annals of Gambian history. So, please members, do not be
>surprised if you are told that Mr.X is the closest adviser to Jammeh or
>that Mrs.Y offers sexual favours to Jammeh and/or his army boys. Do what
>"Samba Boye" has just done: get some one else on the ground to suppliment
>what ever is being said by Ebrima's "sources". In short, do a follow-up of
>your own for the purposes of either confirming or refuting the information.
>  Ebrima, the lady who questioned the motive of one of your sources
>provoked a response from a source which you Ebrima, acting as arbitrator,
>decided that it was not worth responding to. The matter was dropped until
>Ousainou Ngum came to our defence which drew the feeble reply "I just
>wanted to get it right" or something to that effect;whatever that means. We
>will continue to stay focussed and keep our exchanges and follow-up to a
>bear minimum, again for obvious reasons but I would like to plead with all
>of you to please follow up on these issues being raised in this forum so
>that all of us can better appreciate the situation on the ground which is
>deteriorating by the hour in our beloved country. On behalf of your other
>sources, we say thank you to Mr. Ousainou Ngum for reacting to the question
>of the lady which was designed to discredit your sources, advertently or
>inadvertently.
>As you know, Ebrima, I draft these messages on the run and so I do not go
>back on them or run them through a spell check but I hope that you will
>post this message for potential would-be distractor amongst you.  For us,
>this is a crusade, as Ousainou pointed out, and not child's play. We have
>very little time to engage in frivilous matters.  Until my next message,we
>continue to say keep it up Abdul Kabir Njie, Kebba Dampha, Ebou Colly,
>Jabou Joh, Hamjatta, Bamba Laye, Comrade Jassey-Conteh the man from East
>Kombo Constituency, Dr Mansour Ceesay, Saul Saidykhan, Elhajj Mustapha Fye
>and the rest of the crew. As for you Ebrima, what else can we say; sorry, I
>am lost for words. THE TRUTH SHALL ULTIMATELY TRIUMPH.
