Mr. Sillah:

This is a very serious issue.  We must act now to prevent
party split in the opposition.  I just cannot believe this.

As you may be aware of the UDP leadership, you must understand
that all the elected members of UDP that are in the legislature
were former NCP supporters.  In fact Hon. Kemeseng Jammeh is
still a member of the NCP executive committee.

I will refrain from making any statements on the reason why such
a thing would happen.  I predict that there will be further
division within the opposition.  Some of Dibba's former supporters
will follow him.

While I am still an NCP supporter, I will refrain from making any
further statement on this issue.  Until we hear from the attendees,
it is premature to speculate.

Naphiyo,

Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
Greensboro, NC/Kombo East Constituency

Subject: Breaking News:A Split In The Opposition?


This is late story and since i've seen that nobody
reported it yet, i thought it wise to inform you about
it...there seems to be a split in the opposition ranks
over the issue of who should lead the united front
against Jammeh.
Well it has now been confirmed that S.M. Dibba of the
NCP could not agree with the rest of the parites on
the nomination of Ousainou Darboe to lead the
coalition of opposition parties against president
Jammeh. The parties present at the meeting were
PPP,GPP,NCP and UDP. However S.M Dibba was said to
have walked out of the meeting when it was propsed
that Darboe should lead the coaltion. The other
parties PDOIS and NRP were not present at the meeting.
It is still not clear why PDOIS was not at the meeting
but it has been understood that Hamat Bah of the NRP
is out of the country. This is a rather interesting
moment for the opposition and any split will only go
to strenghten the ruling party. Am off to bed now but
hopefully i will keep you posted about the latest
developments on the this rather important breaking
news.

E Sillah
