>30,000 Cassamance Voters In Camp At Brikama?
>It has been alleged that over 30,000 Casamanace residents are currently in
>camp at the Gambia College Campus and Brikama Youth Centre ready to vote in
>the October 18 Presidential polls.
>Our sources disclosed that some of these people have been living with their
>relatives in Marakisa and Dasilami villages in Kombo Central. Upon a
>tip-off, these reporters visited the Gambia College Camp yesterday morning,
>where a security officer was found at the gate. He refused to identify
>himself but maintained that students were having summer classes there. ”It
>is not true that Casmanace residents are residing here, he stated.” Our
>source further indicated that a column of cultural troupes from the
>Cassamance are helping Jammeh in his campaign
>However, a College Senior worker who begged for anonymity claimed that
>there
>was no summer class taking place at the college. “Those staying here are
>people from Foni on tour with the presidential campaign trial.
>A Senior HTC student at the college, Fatoumatta Jallow refuted that there
>was a summer camp there. She said all the students have gone on vacation.
>“Even the lecturers are not there, so it is surprising to hear that summer
>courses is going on at the college.
>Still at the College, a lecturer told The Point that unknown people are
>staying there. He said everybody has left the campus until after the
>elections. The College principal, Jenung Manneh said that hundreds of
>FAWEGAM girls are holding vacational course there. “Nobdoy was allowed to
>see them in because they want to avoid disturbance. So people went
>speculating that Cassamance residents are based there,” he said
