Well, the smartest of the mental midgets (one eye among the blind) has
finally smelled the coffee and decided to jump ship before the total wreck
drowns. Whether Sedat Jobe resigned voluntarily or he was ‘pushed out’, the
bottom-line is, the man was NOT kicking and screaming when he was leaving.
There is at least some element of volunteerism coming from his part. To some
extent, the man no longer wants to be part and parcel of the Yaya insanity.

Let no one for one moment think that Sedat Jobe’s ‘resignation’ was a
principled stance spurred by his recognition that it was a stupid act to
expel a high-ranking British diplomat from the country. Many have raised
numerous issues (including the cold-blooded slaughter of our defenseless
children in broad daylight) that should have made Sedat Jobe to resign ages
ago and he never did. I would even go further than that and say that the
moron should NOT even have accepted the position in the first place. He
should NOT have lobbied hard for the position in the first place. He knew
when he was getting into this that he was going in there to serve uncouth,
childish and callous morons. But the temptation to use this government in
order to hold a high profile job in the country and build some houses for
his family, was too much for him to pass on it.

This is no principled man we are dealing with. Remember, this is the same
vermin few weeks ago who was penning that ridiculous letter to the United
Nations defending an internationally proscribed criminal (Baabaa Jobe). So,
even if we forget about expecting the man to protest against the actions of
Yaya and his thugs, what about Sedat Jobe’s own actions? The vermin was
accusing the British and the Americans with the same childish garbage Yaya
and his cohorts are now trying to use against the British Deputy High
Commissioner. Sedat Jobe is only slightly better than Yaya. They are both
morons. Next you know, the coward will run to Senegal and be on self-imposed
exile. He knows the party is over. He is cutting his losses. Yaya himself is
readying to hit the road. The vermin knows that they have lost it. They are
all busy calculating the amounts in their Swiss Bank accounts. Some are
sending their families out of the country. Only fools like Buba Baldeh do
NOT see what is coming to them. The vermin want to flee the country and
Sedat Jobe is leading the exodus.

Blaise Jagne will be the biggest loser in the country if he is to leave his
cozy existence in New York and return to Gambia. The vermin is now put in
between a rock and a hard place. If he accepts and returns home, he will be
there when the ship finally sink in October. If he turns down the offer and
stay in New York, he is dead meat to Yaya. Jagne CANNOT point to any
important function (like Security Council membership) that he is doing in
New York. Being the coward he is, he has no option but to go back and accept
Yaya’s offer (as reported by Buba Baldeh in the Observer). I hope Jagne
accepts and goes to Banjul. That way, he will be held accountable during
this campaign season for the despicable utterances he made during the
previous campaign in 1996. APRC is in DISARRAY. On the other hand, the
Opposition Alliance is holding rallies in Serrekunda, Bakau and Brikama
attracting hundreds of thousands of Gambians. Yaya is finished. Now, all the
moron is thinking about, is running away.

Gambian ‘diplomacy’ has now moved from the frying pan to the fire. The
morons have attracted sanctions to the country AGAIN. Now, the British and
their allies are going to stop the little aid they have been giving our
people. Remember, a staggering 90% of our development budget is financed
through grants and loans from countries like Britain. If we allow the vermin
to stay in power and continue in this insane path, our people will grow
poorer than the destitution they are currently under. Just recently the EU
gave our government $12 million in order to alleviate some of the problems
in the groundnut industry. If these morons remain in power and alienate the
British, our people will soon start eating grass. This is no exaggeration.
Currently, farmers will work all year round and CANNOT guarantee their
families two solid meals a day. When they complain to the vermin, they
(AFPRC/APRC) start talking about Jawara and the roads they built in the
country. Now, our people are going to be poorer. Instead of two meals a day,
people will be struggling to eat one solid meal a day. We do NOT need these
vermin to drag our people into the ground. We are tired of these visionless
morons that do NOT even know how to run a household let alone a country.

Can we now trust these loose canons with our country’s foreign affairs? The
ineptitude of these morons can plunge our country into deeper misery. The
Alliance should carry the momentum and explain to our allies (including
Senegal) that our government will NOT be led by morons and cowards like
Sedat Jobe and Blaise Jagne. Our government will NOT take these erratic and
extremist actions against important allies like Britain. I respectfully urge
people like Ebou Colly familiar with regional diplomacy and conflicts in
troubled regions like Casamance to express their views about the
repercussions Sedat Jobe’s absence might have vis-à-vis the Casamance
conflict. Our allies have to understand that ours will be a friendly
government that will NOT be making these erratic decisions or fanning war in
the subregion and employing or defending thugs involved in ‘Blood Diamond’.
