Gambia-L:

I am sending the e-mail below from a source in the Gambia unedited. Take
note that it was sent to me yesterday.

Ebrima Ceesay

>Subject: Outcome of Jammeh's visits to Liberia and Sierra Leone
>Date:

>Ebrima,
>As I write this message, Jammeh is on his way to Banjul after a two-day
>visit to Liberia and Sierra Leone. The communique signed between the
>monster of Kanilai and Kabbah is less than what Jammeh expected. According
>to my sources on the ground in Freetown, Jammeh tried to convince Kabbah to
>make no reference to the Lome Accords which would have provided the window
>of opportunity for him to justify a "solo performance" in the peace
>process. As far-fetched and unrealistic this approach appears to any
>reasonable person, to Jammeh the opposite is just the case which is the
>mark of a deranged man.  He has convinced himself and his Foreign Minister
>that The Gambia can broker the peace in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leoneans have
>told Kabbah that they will have none of that and will not entertain the
>likes of Jammeh and Taylor to be given a lead role in the process. The
>reference to Jammeh's meeting between Alpha Oumar Konare and Eyadema in his
>press conference in Freetown, the Butcher is trying to legitimise and to
>give an atmosphere of respectability to his trip to the region for local
>consumption. Well, we know better, including the Sierra Leonean Government
>particularly Berrewa(Attorney General of SL) and Kabbah himself. As I said
>to you yesterday, the authorities in Freetown have read the Gambia-L to
>suppliment their own intelligence reports.  Jammeh will come home, call a
>press conference to impress the people that he is for peace. Unfortunately,
>with the subsequent spin that Sedat Jobe and Fatoumatta Jahumpa-Ceesay will
>most certainly put to the outcome of the trip, some unenlightened and
>ill-informed people in Banjul will take this as yet another successful trip
>of Yahya Jammeh. Fellow Gambians, please do not be fooled by what this
>illegitimate Government tells you in the next day or two. Yahya is trying
>to inject himself into the Sierra Leone peace process to legitimise his
>ultimate objective of laying his hands on the "blood diamonds" as Charles
>taylor is currently doing. I can assure you that Jammeh's days are indeed
>numbered. Let us continue to be vigilant and focussed. Thank you.
