Mr.Dampha,
         Please do not see any party politics in this! i am just making
observations here vis-a-vis Yahya's travels to western(that you were
questioning in response to Fjc's recent package).

In 1998 he Yahya was invited to France on  a state visit.Njogou Bah was the
ambassador of the Gambia to France at the time.During that visit (according
to the programme that was organised in his honour by the French Gvt),Yahya
was received by Ministre Vaillant(the then french minister of interior) at
the Charles de Gaulle airport. The same minister received Abdou Diouf just
few months afterwards-so that was a protocol culture which wasn't the least
aiming at discriminatory approacheS.

Immidiatley after the trip to Paris came to an end,the Gambian delegation
led by Yahya continued to Italy(you can verify with Dr.Christina,the
Gambia's honorary consul in Milan).

The advance party of that delegation was headed by Ex Captain Demba Njie and
Ex DG NIA Daba Marenah.

Yahya did also travel to Scotland(this can be verified at the level of the
Gambian mission in London).Or contact Baba Saho of the NIA 'cause he was
organising the trip under the supervision of Ambassador John P Bojang.

Yahya also went to France on a second round in 1999 to attend a meeting (
sommêt Francophonie).Even whereas The Gambia is not a member of the
francophonie(like many other anglophone countries)the former and the latter
are usually invited by France at such meetings.The French call such
countries "The special Friends of France" or "les Francophils".

Kebba,please do not start raining words like "mental midgets" on me here i
was just rectifying that part.Therefore let maturity lead the way my
brother.

As you do always encourage people to be challenging you with facts,therefore
these are my facts on this issue.

Thank you very much.
