The unedited e-mail below came from a source in the heart of the Gambian
Government last night.

>Subject: Gambia-L, We thank you
>Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001

>Ebrima,
>
>Fatou Mbye's curse is upon us again. The Gambia-L membership is busy paving
>their respective paths to hell with the debris left behind in the wake of
>"Hurrican Yahya". The World Conference of Mayors (WCM) is the latest in a
>long string of devastating acts of deception by Yahya Jammeh.
>
>Even though Miss. Mbye is following developments of this unfolding story, I
>would like the List management, particularly Dr. Janneh, to pass on the
>word to her.
>
>We will not rest until Yahya is removed from office.  Meanwhile, I would
>like to thank ALL of you for a great job.  As Dr. Saine said, what the WCM
>does it's their business, but we too have the right to protest as the
>"Sierra Club" did in their 1997 Annual Meeting in Abuja.  The advantage we
>have over the "Sierra Club" is that we are aware of WCM's plan to hold
>their next Meeting in Banjul at least four clear months in advance.  We
>also have a fairly good idea as to those US Representatives, Mayors,
>Councilmen/women etc who may attend this year's junket.
>
>Jabou, thanks for your brilliant idea on how to handle the matter given the
>problems the Sierra Club faced two years ago. George Sarr, I have no doubt
>that you will deliver as you have done on so many other occasions. Ebrima,
>thanks for shifting through the numerous e-mail messages and drafting the
>petition which was an excellent piece; and Bamba Laye for providing so
>expeditiously Colin Powell's e-mail address. To the Gambian-Alabamans, I
>say urge your State Legislature to provide e-mail facilities for your
>representatives so that you can contact them whenever the need arises;
>after all, that's what's they have been elected to do - to serve the best
>interest of the electorate: no amount of mail is annoying for an American
>politician. As someone said, that's the American Way.
>
>It may be of interest to Members that Fatou Jahumpa is, in a way, 100
>percent behind us on this one, because she has been saying since Johnny
>Ford landed at the Airport, that this is yet another ploy by Mayor Samba
>Faal to secure the nomination of the APRC for Major of Banjul, if Yahya
>should decide to hold municipal elections. As you are all aware, she has
>been fighting to wrestle the nomination from Samba Faal. More power to her
>and Have a great week ahead.
>
