Subject: ANOTHER FIRE SET BY THE UDP/PPP

The Email below also came from my source on the grounds. As always, I
promised him/her not to publish the name.

Ousman Jallow Bojang.

Thanks for that forward, and I must tell you that I am glad that you were
able to do it without my name. That was a sigh of relieve. I have read some
of the postings against what I sent you. I will try to reply to them one by
one. I am very busy now, but I am sure come THURSDAY, they will answer
themselves. As the saying goes, "time is the best Prophet."
As I am writing, there is another arson. I am unable to go to the scene yet,
but I have just confirmed that the Compound of an APRC MP of Serrekunda is on
fire. I can hear the Fire Service sirens as I write.

Ous, yesterday I had a deep chat with someone who is right inside the
UDP/PPP/GPP camp.I posed as a staunch supporter, therefore the fellow went on
pouring out all their cheap strategies. We met at Albasha restaurant right at
the corner adjacent to kairaba hotel. You would not believe what he said they
intend to do now against November or so. In fact, he was trying to recruit me
to join them.
Ous I was made to understand by this guy that all these negative headings
being displayed by some of the News Papers are being copied and kept by these
people.
These are the articles that people like Dr.Manneh would be using to refresh
their asylum documents. That can be the only possible way they can justify to
the
Londoners and the Americans that they deserve being received once again. It
may however be very difficult for them to convince those people.  In the first
place, how could they have come back to campaign if they were genuine asylum
seekers?

Another interesting development is that I learnt from another source that
Saikou Sabally,Saara Janha,BB Darboe and Jawara are believed to be trying to
engage
some Gambian dissidents for a fatal come back.These dissidents are composed
of some ex-army officers particularly those who were behind the November 11
attack. Some are also believed to be those currently in Liberia or even
ex-Gambian-Liberian mercenaries who sometimes shuttle between the Gambia and
Monrovia.
These are really desperate attempts by Saihou Sabally. Its widely believed
that Sabally and Alhaji Kanteh the former commissioner of NBD are working very
closely along those lines in Dakar.

Please do not be panicked because those that they intend to use against the
current regime are the ones who reveal all their secret plans to the
intelligence service. That is the reason why Darbo jumped on what he called
false rumors of a coup. Ous count on me because these are not rumors they are
true stories. These
people with all the threats and insults know that Jammeh's gvt. is very
strong security wise. They are also aware that they won't succeed that's why
they are calling for the next step i.e.: to publicize the issue in order to
be able to escape being arrested. The
Jammeh regime will never react to that at this 11th. hour! These people have
bought machetes and other small arms ready to disturb the peace if they lose
and they will lose. Without doubt the APRC gvt. will counter any challenge
that's geared towards inciting civil disorder with drastic measures. Make no
mistake about that.

In fact these people will be surprised to know that Jammeh's people are more
sophisticated than they estimate. Some keep on rambling on the L- that these
guys are morons and so on but that's different from how these boys operate.
Of late we have heard that Chongan has become a moderator on the L-, but do
not mind them they are all behind the scenes. A strong network under the
control of another
person (nationality withheld because he is a westerner based in London
itself) is monitoring these people. They will be surprised one day; just
wait. They do not have any external backing as they pretend they do. The only
way they are ready to operate is by sending in some rotten elements in the
Gambia to start a small riot and the rest will be burning houses and so on.
From there they will start mobilizing their people on the phone to boil more
problems. These people are so desperate to come back to the state house that
they can no longer listen to any reason whether plausible or not.

I will give you more on their movements as time goes on. However, Jammeh's
people are so ready that they will shoot at anything suspicious around them.
Let no one think that he or she can politicize the army by quoting archaic
constitutions for us please.
The army is under one command and they will see if they try. The state guard
is one of the most heavily armed in this sub region so make no mistake
brother we are
ready for anything and when we win we will celebrate till day break.
I will wait for THURSDAY before replying to any of those or subsequent
counters.
