Camp "100": Alarming Revelations made

Reports from Kerewan of the North Bank Division has alleged that Seventeen
youths are currently undergoing some form of training in order to disrupt
the forth coming presidential and parliamentary elections. The seventeen
youths the reports stated, are been trained by a citizen of Jarra. The
accused trainer, one Alhagie Bah, is said to have personally received his
distruptive training in Libya. The current set of trainees the claim said,
will in turn train other youths across the country.

Our sources further revealed that the trained boys normally go round the
villages singing songs like: "Saying Nyolo Tai Bayilaa," meaning, "Clashes
will not be averted." Our sources expressed their concern over such
terrorising situation in their area. They therefore called on the Human
Rights activists, Ambassadors and the International Community to take
immediate action before it is too late. In a similar incident, one Alhajie
Jawo Singhateh, the UDP area chairman has been alledged to have been
threatened by Seyfoo Fafanding Kinteh that they have trained non Gambians
who will be used to unleash mayhem adding that if he was not careful, he
could be killed. In his reaction, Assistant Commissioner Modou Soma Jobe
described such allegations as baseless.

Mr. Jobe did made it clear that there has been mobilisation of some youth
which is their normal routine work. Such allegations are made by radio Kanka
and the opposition in order to destroy their name, he said. Below are the
names of the supposed Seventeen youths being trained: Mbemba Jawara, Babung
Suwareh, Nyori Saidykhan, Mustapha Fatty, Masanneh Fatty, Yaya Drammeh,
Lamin Kassama, Lamin Barrow (alias Konteh KD), Abdou Jawara Lamin Ceesay,
Malamin Jawara, Ousainou Jawara, Buba Cessay, Nuha Fatty, Badembo Gitteh,
Masanneh Dobo Jawara and Lamin Fatty. Our sources indicated the fathers and
mothers name of each of the Youths mentioned above.
