>Ebrima,
>Yesterday was a sad day indeed for the entire Gambian people after the
>tragic death of the five UDP supporters, including the two National
>Assembly Members, Abu Kassama and Buba Samura. However, it appears that
>this sadness or pain is not shared by Yayha Jammeh because following the
>decision of the Speaker of the Assembly and members of all the political
>parties, including Tamsir Jallow, as Majority Leader to lay the two fallen
>MPs in Parliament, they were over ruled by Yahya Jammeh at the Airport on
>his way to Taiwan.
>
>The Speaker, together with ALL Members of Parliament are angry, disgusted
>and saddened by Jammeh's continued vindictiveness even in circumstances
>involving the death of Members of Parliament.  So how can someone on
>Gambia-L continue to tell us to forget our political differences when the
>person who should lead the way continue to treat Gambians like dirt?
>
>As a result of Jammeh's decision, the two bodies of the MPs are in Dr. Jack
>Faal's hospital morgue where there is at least some ice to preserve the
>bodies of these Honourable Parliamentarians until tomorrow so that they can
>be buried in dignity. Had it not been for the dictatorial behaviour of
>Yahya Jammeh, Abu Kassama and Buba Samura's bodies would have laid been in
>Parliament on Monday and given the honours due to MPs regardless of party
>affiliation. Since they have been denied this, their bodies are in storage
>for an extra day just to be buried without State honours.  SHAME ON YAHYA
>JAMMEH AND ANYTHING CLOSE TO YAHYA JAMMEH.
>
>On other matters, APRC has now opened a Radio Station under the Management
>of Abdul Aziz Willan to counter Citizen FM and George Christensen's Radio 1
>FM. The station is four days old, so there are many Banjulians who are not
>even aware of its existence yet.News Flash  Secretary General Dolly Joiner
>is to be replaced by Mama Kinsa Jawara. Ebrima, the country has really gone
>to the dogs. So long.
