Gambia-L:

The e-mail below came from a source in the Gambia. I have tried as much as I
can, to remove sensitive lines dealing with Mama Kinsa Jawara because she is
somebody's wife and also for the sake of her kids. I also removed another
line on Bishop Clearly.

My source, I am not censoring you (laugh)

Ebrima Ceesay

>Ebrima, I sent you a posting some time ago telling you that Yahya intended

>expressed serious concerned over the repression in the Gambia under Jammeh
>but you witheld it. Yahya only stopped the expulsion of the Bishop after

>Yahya is also looking for replacements for Sarjo Jallow, Musa Sillah and
>Edward Singhateh, yes Edward Singhateh, I say. Yahya doesn't like Edward
>anymore because he thinks that Edward and Mama Kinsa Jawara are having

>relationship with Yahya. Yahya never travels overseas without Mama Kinsa
>Jawara. He even planned to make Mama Kinsa the next Secertary General and
>Head of the Civil Service which I disclosed in an earlier mail. And Guess
>what, Sam Sarr, who was involved in the Crude Oil saga, has also gone
>"missing". After he was refused entry to Dakar because of his involvement
>in the killing of Lawyer Babacar Saye, he gave an interview over the radio
>when he got back to the Gambia and he was not seen after the interview. One

>because of certain remarks he made on his radio interview. Dr Abass Bundu,
