OPINION
CRITICAL THINKING: Banjul Cuffs!
BY TIMBUKTU



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


November 16, 2005
Jimmy Cliff once sang us a song. These were the days of the black
panthers! These were the days of appartheid.These were the days of rising
stars like Steve Biko.Who were we fighting with? Domination! Who were the
conductors? Colonialism and Neo Colonialism. What was the springboard?
Fascism.

Gambia today we are facing Kilimanjaro Chimpanzees with hand cuffs! They
beat, they kick, they bite,they gnash their teeth,they drag their victims
and then sit back eating wild fruits.This makes me feel like calling
Gambia.. The Wild, Wild,Savannah!

Our "Salibo" has started dripping from the Jack Fruit. Hello Bra
Songula,we do not want thorny fruits we want sweet papayas.We heard the
angry of Yaya Jammeh a disgrace Seigneur "Peresidente" from Rufisque.
Yaya! Kocc Barma is here once again with a piece of chalk and a black
board. Are you ready? Start taking notes my good old friend and new rival.

Kocc said:"Jinneh Boe giss,Kayaafa Moi Maamam"-Means any strong spirit we
see "Kayaafa" is his or her grand father.Yaya do you know "Kayaafa"? He is
an old powerful Jinn or Spirit that can stand against any evil especially
during wars or turmoils. "Kayaafa" has been around from the time of Mama
Jankeh Waalih of Kaabu Kansala. He has been here during the time of
Kelepha Sanneh of Kaabu and Jokadu Baariya. Yaya please go to Jokadu and
ask about two villages. ONE:Toro Alassan. TWO: Baariya.

Do not take this lightly ask about the reason why you are being refered to
old dwellings of "Kayaafa". Yaya are you really sure you have not angered
"Kayaafa"? In 2000 you swore that you handled the "Jinn" at Kerewan
bridge.Today Yaya I swear by the Holy Book, you have angered "Kayaafa".

The more you beat those spiritual "Junkurangs" of yours under the Kapok
tree that you worship, the more you anger "Kayaafa". Yaya the old king of
Mali that you have taken as your mentor...Sumawuru Konteh... Is not your
match.Is that why you offered the "Balafong" as a national symbol when you
visited Taipei a month ago? Yaya believe me and believe the noble sons and
daughters of Africa, you have really scraped the old scars! Yaya Jammeh
and the forty shields, Sir Jemus my writings do always have a real
meaning. A very deep meaning for that matter.

Sir Jemus please revisit the meaning of "Jinneh Kayaafa" with those
marabouts you have locked in those rooms near yours at night.One of your
present Marabouts in "Halwah" took permission from my ancestors before
coming to read the sacred verses for you Yaya. Go ahead and ask, you will
discover where Timbuktu is emerging from again this evening. Those who
conduct the "Halwah" for you were taught by lengthy geneology all the way
from Banjagara. They cannot perform anymore Yaya.Do not waste your time.
Their dreams will be intercepted at night. Ask them...they will tell you
with frankness. Yaya this is so deep and unusual a message that, it may
appear like a mad man's sermon to some but you know what I am talking
about Yaya.

Did you know that these "halwahs" are being intercepted Yaya? That is why
Sadness is replacing Sadness in your office. Observe Yaya! Observe! You
will see what I mean. Did you not say you are spiritually strong? That was
a log time ago. Timbuktu is still challenging you on that Yaya. God
willing we will WIN!

Time has come Yaya for these Innocent "Talibes" to shatter the Yoke. Just
watch my brother, Just wait. Do not step back. You are brave, so bravery
will welcome you. You are angry, Indeed "Kayaafa's" anger will welcome
you. You have promised to export to terror to Pulloh Jeyri. "Wollahi" Yaya
Pulloh is ready and you will ever remember this "Gainaako" even if he
departs one day before you follow suit. Yaya not all stars can be sent
down to the ocean! Your star maybe famous for a while but there is a big
difference between fame and strength.

I AM APPEALING TO THE NIA TO SEND THIS PIECE TO YAYA JAMMEH HE NEEDS TO
READ THIS PIECE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE HE HAS TESTED "Kayaafa" once
again. Yaya the dream of a calabash full of sour milk seen right in the
middle of State House has been exposed. Are you scared by that? Yaya the
powerful King of Egypt Imprisoned Yusufa The Great Prophet basing
everything on lies.

Yaya Yusufa Interpreted dreams for the King from his dark cell.Who
replaced the King? "Wollahi!" It was Yusufa the handsome King. Yaya do you
know who will replace you? Ask those marabouts that are locked up in
Kanilai these days. Challenge us Yaya then we will write the names of all
your marabouts on line. Just talk! Yaya today we have the same minds like
the King of Egypt or Pharaons ruling. Remember we do also have the same
angels guarding some of those you are whipping. Yaya one prayer bead says:
"Qaw luhu haq wa lahul Mulk" -After YOU the Omnipotent,there is nothing
else but TRUTH and YOU are the ONLY RULER.

Yaya do you know who this is? This is the ONE who controls the universe.
My piece is no "barren" philosophy, it is not stoicism, IT IS REALISM.
Caesar's arrogance made him call the poet a dreamer! Indeed Kocc Barma is
here again to caution those who are carried away by this Caesarian manner.
Kocc says: "Soi dorr dara teh du fayu, Su Yaggey Sa lohoyi neywi"-Means
when one keeps on beating something that never sends the blows back, your
hands may remain swollen at the end" Truth and disadvantage can never
match. They are Incompartible. Banjul Cuffs, are ruining hopes, while
shattering aspirations. Harsh remarks and angry tones cannot win minds.

Yaya here we are once again sending you deep thought and stirred feelings.
Yaya consent is better than dissent.Sleeping cannot be where hearts are
weeping. Niceties cannot be where sanity is being shaded.Unity cannot be
where Impunity is stalking.

I am saddened by your failure Yaya because thats not what we wish for
Gambia.Sure that is what we expected from 1994. Failure is certainly
welcome where Incompetence is a manager. Yaya there is one more word from
Kocc Barma before I coil on my pillow case then start brooding till day
break! Kocc says: "Garrab gee donn pencha, Lawbeh duko giss mook"- Means
-A tree that is destined to serve as the village 'bantaba' or meeting
place will never be seen by a wood carver.

Yaya keep on arresting and releasing God willing your time is up.You will
go! Yaya God listens to prisoners much more than Kings. You know why?
Because it is from the dark cell He God can show us His powers. When he
destines things He uses such challenges to teach humanity. Abacha had
Obasanjo Jailed, He had Mashood Abiyola Jailed. "Sinna Tun Walaa Nawmun
Lahoo!" -He does NOT know what slumber is.He does not sleep, neither does
He yawn. He ordained that Obasanjo was to replace Abacha your late mentor!
Your replacement has been named Yaya. The High Office is ready. Please do
not disturb our brothers you know where to go and send your anger. Why
avoid that place? Why arrest these Innocent people? Why make this much
noise well before the dark clouds start raining on your kapok tree? Why?
To all those you arrested I extend my sincere prayers to them.

Good legacies are never too late! Dictators help good men and good women
reap the fruits of a genuine struggle!

Today I recall Patrice Lumumba! I recall! I recall! all those who received
the evil claws of Vampires In Power!

Yaya your parrots are so wild these days, we were ready because we know
what the 'ataya' session was brewing this past saturday. You whispered a
lot and then fumed a lot.Thats the outcome.

YAYA BEFORE I COME BACK PLEASE TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AT KOTU POWER
STATION....HAS SOMEONE COMMITTED SUICIDE THERE?

WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBERS WHEN YOU HAD GIVEN AN
APPOINTMENT TO THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO END HIS LIFE AFTER BEING DUPED?

Yaya get ready because when one faces death or massacre there is no need
to retreat. We will handle you and when we handle you, you will know that
you have been handled. OJ and others do not even know why you are
paranoid. You know why. Stop pretending Yaya. Release these people for
goodness sake.Stop stalking behind shadows follow the real objects!

See you in Hague!
