Source reaching us, indicates that, market women, Unqualified Teachers, 
Journalists and students, were planning on peaceful protest against degrading 
standard of living, non payment of salaries, exorbitant prices on household 
commodities, selective and arbitrary arrests and detention of journalist. 
Sources indicated, Jammeh is spending endless and sleepless days and nights, 
hence depends on tranquilizers to keep him functional. In an emergency cabinet 
meeting, Jammeh threatened to arrest all opposition party leader and 
journalist, who in his, Jammeh's PROZAC mind, are trying to destabilize his regime and 
misgovernment. Sources stated, the VP and two others present, vehemently 
stood against such mass arrest, as the Americans/British will be fuming, hence 
each and every favor/support gained during the past months, will go down the 
toilet.  
Jammeh now believe that, the country is at a point of no return and at its 
lowest common denominator. The planned reshuffling of his Cabinet leaked out and 
a whole lot of A[F]PRC die-hards, felt betrayed.
As our source, puts it, majority of Gambians supports the collective efforts 
of Diasporan Gambians organizing a coalition pressure group, Jammeh's biggest 
nightmare. Of late, The State House phone and email lines, were inundated with 
protest mails from as far as Fiji and Bosnia, regarding Baboucar Gaye's Radio 
Station. keep the pressure on as Yahya understands the pressure and 
importance of an organized Gamia-l/Post/Fund. It's funny that, he Jammeh, leaves his PC 
on 24-7 and is alerted to each and every postings.
Gambia would have been blessed, If he had a one way ticket to New York. If 
the people/masses speaks and leads, the Army boys will have no choice, other 
than to follow. 
Stay focused and pay close attention!
