>>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!
