>>>Hello Ebrima:
>>>
>>>You guys on the L, are giving a hell of a time to the
>>>APRC regime, these days. And you have to keep it up!!
>>>
>>>Anyway, three big stories for you today. (1) There is
>>>currently a serious behind-the-scene diplomatic
>>>tension between the Gambia and Nigeria over
>>>allegations that the Gambia and three other unnamed
>>>countries in the Subregion, are actually fuelling the
>>>ethnic/religious tensions in Nigeria. The State House
>>>Imam is in the frame.
>>>
>>>Ebrima, the tension is such that the Gambia High
>>>Commissioner to Abuja was summoned to the Nigeria's
>>>Foriegn Office and told pointedly, Abuja's concerns
>>>over the issue.
>>>
>>>Nigerian intelligence said that the late Sani Abacha's
>>>cronies, including Yaya Jammeh, are still bent on
>>>destablising Nigeria, so that they can continue to lay
>>>their hands on that country's oil wealth.
>>>
>>>So, no wonder for the last two Heads of States Summits
>>>held in Abuja, Nigeria, Yaya Jammeh delibrately
>>>refused to attend, fearing, of course, that Obasanjo
>>>will raise the issue.
>>>
>>>Also, don't forget Jammeh was the first president to
>>>endorse the late Sani Abacha's demand that Nigerian
>>>dissidents, opposed to his (Sani) rule outside
>>>Nigeria, should be arrested whenever they visited any
>>>of the countries in West Africa.
>>>
>>>So, given the fact President Obsanjo was one of those
>>>people who were critical of Abacha at the time, Jammeh
>>>is therefore having a problem in facing him.
>>>
>>>(2) The President (Jammeh) has cancelled his planned
>>>trip to Senegal and Mauritania today Friday, following
>>>reports in Senegal that President Wade was not ready
>>>to receive him but instead a very Junior Minister was
>>>assigned to meet him (Jammeh) to discuss that
>>>country's border crisis with Mauritania.
>>>
>>>Yaya Jammeh, knowing the type he is, a laughable
>>>maron, wants to mediate in this crisis, but Abdoulaye
>>>Wade is treating him like a toddler.
>>>
>>>(3) For your information, it is not only Tamsir Jallow
>>>and Sulayman Massaneh Ceesay who are unhappy in the
>>>Jammeh camp, but even Edward Singhateh and a few
>>>others are also unhappy.
>>>
>>>I will send all their names later. Edward's problem
>>>with Yaya Jammeh is that he ( Edward) is very much
>>>opposed to the idea of the revival of the July 22
>>>movement and turning them into an APRC's youth action
>>>group.
>>>
>>>He, Edward, believes that this will do no good to the
>>>Gambia's alreadly bad image. He is also opposed to the
>>>apparent hijacking of the regime by Baba Jobe and a
>>>few
>>>businessmen in the country.
>>>
>>>Now, Yaya Jammeh, because of the type of man he is,
>>>saw this act by Edward as a betrayal and for four
>>>months now, Edward Singhateh has not been receiving
>>>his usual or full salary.
>>>
>>>Instead, two-third of his salary is directly being
>>>paid to Yaya Jammeh to settle a loan that Edward was
>>>said to have taken from him during the transition
>>>period.
>>>
>>>The story is that there was a kick-back given to
>>>Edward following the recognition of Taiwan by Gambia
>>>as a State. All Council members in then AFPRC were
>>>supposed to be given some kick backs, in addition to
>>>the US$35 million dollars given to them.
>>>
>>>But the whole sum Edward got from Taiwan was never
>>>revealed to Yaya Jammeh and, upon realising this
>>>subsequently, he, Jammeh, urged Singhateh to pay the
>>>balance to him personally (Jammeh) in the form of a
>>>loan.
>>>
>>>And Edward started to pay Jammeh, but when Edward
>>>could not qualify for the vice president post because
>>>of his age at the time, Yaya Jammeh symphathised him
>>>and told him to "forget the repayment of the loan
>>>thing".
>>>
>>>Now, Edward has since been asked once again by Jammeh
>>>to pay him back, and Edward is paying him because Yaya
>>>Jammeh sees him (Edu) as a betrayer. So something is
>>>brewing between these two men, and this is why you
>>>guys on Gambia-L should continue the pressures.
>>>
>>>By the way, I was very angry with you the last time,
>>>in your argument with Edi Sidibeh, because you nearly
>>>revealed your sources.
>>>
>>>Don't mind these jesters! They are only trying to
>>>deviate the real issue. Anyway, I have now forgiven
>>>you because you have upgraded (laugh).
>>>
>>>Thanks!
