YAYA’ FINAL DAYS




I will first and foremost say a big congratulation to
Lawyer Ousainou Darbo and all members of his dynamic
party particularly the intended victims of the Devil’s
orchestrated assault on his entourage last Saturday.
With the divine intervention of God this time, evil
was trampled and defeated in a decisive and very
satisfactory manner. Whether Mr. Darbo knows it or
not, he has finally assumed the edge that should make
him walk, talk, and act as the president of the Gambia
because he is almost come to the end of the struggle
that should make him one. Yaya has finally lost it,
although he might still again try another stupid move
that will put the final nail on his coffin. Stopping
those 22nd July Movement cowards, nonentities known to
have been given special training in Libya on how to
terrorize, intimidate or even kill the opponents of
Yaya, has dealt the final fatal blow to the despot’s
last reserved power.

Just about the time the Libyans were delivering the
archaic Katusha rockets early last year, there was
this troubling scheme of clandestinely airlifting
elements of the 22nd July Movement to Libya for a
training that was kept secret to even the members of
the national security council. Had it not been the
defiant stand taken by some of the airport-
immigration personnel for the failure of the
passengers to go through regular immigration
procedures at the airport, the secret program may
never have come to the attention of the national
Security Council. But some professional workers both
at the airport security wing and the immigrations unit
blew the whistle loud and clear until some of them
were threatened with dismissal from their jobs.
Anyhow, by the time everybody was silenced, many
people in the country including the diplomatic
community knew the fact. Some immigration officials
informally documented some of the names of the first
batch of about eighty. I saw that list but could not
match them with any Gambians I knew then. That had
left me with the cynical thought at that time that
Cassamance rebels may even be among the trainees under
the guise of the Movement’ members. This I must
emphasize was never confirmed anyway.

It was however part of Yaya’s master plan, which he
thought he had long ago achieved, to build and
consolidate a solid defense structure for both his
internal political security and for his external
hegemonic dream on Cassamance. He had therefore
wrongly thought that with the training of the 22nd
July bandits his internal “by-force rule” over the
Gambian people was eternally guaranteed. Likewise in
his shallow imagination he had foolishly convinced
himself that the rockets were all he needed to deal
with Senegal militarily. After the arrival of the
rockets in the Gambia, Yaya had been heard often
boasting about what he would do to Senegal if former
President Joof was not too careful about the
Cassamance problem. It was also after the graduation
of his Libyan-trained thugs that he started
threatening the Gambians in his political rallies of
his plans to arrest, torture, cut into pieces and
pound the fleshes of all his defiant opponents.
Anyway now that he has tested these two reserved
powers he had so much depended upon, and in both
schemes, encountered the worst failures imaginable the
moron must by now be out of hope completely.
By releasing his wild dogs last Saturday on the civil
UDP campaign trail in which the animals proved nothing
but cowardice and absolute uselessness, Yaya has
helped in exposing himself on two self-destructive
consequences. One, it has helped in mobilizing all the
genuine and sane Gambians into a common front
determined to confront Yaya’s bull shit at anytime and
any place now. It was like the final push of the
people to the wall where only his vampires would take
it from him any more. Two, it has also helped in
drawing the attention of the entire international
world to the activities of a government that is now
viewed as placeless in modern human society. The whole
world has now been alerted to the presence of a ruling
monster in the Gambia called Yaya Jammeh, whose people
have been misruled, in an insane and very bloody
political atmosphere. I must therefore commend Mr.
Darbo and his gallant UDP party for the consistency
and persistency they have sustained over the years in
battling their course to the end. Certainly this is
the end and I cannot explain that reality better than
these hardened politicians in the UDP have already
perceived.  Anyway the tiger might still choose to
jump around, raise some dust here and there when in
actual fact he has neither teeth no claws left on him.
No one should be fooled, the international community
is watching like a hawk.

This is also the right time for all the other
opposition parties in the Gambia to rally behind the
banner of getting this pariah government out of our
beloved nation. The vast majority of the Gambian
people are fed up with it: pushing them against the
wall have turned them very volcanic; and it’s only
fire  that is smoldering at their hearts.  The
situation has virtually turned into a jungle
atmosphere where one must attack or be attacked, kill
or be killed and survive by any means necessary.
Yaya has swallowed too much of Gambian blood and the
guy knows no limit, so he must go by all means
necessary.
Bravo those great voices in the struggle: KB and Saul
Khan, you two combatants always touch my heart. Keep
up the great job.

Ebou Colly
