NEWS Taipei Times News Article Exposes Jammeh's Lies against the Gambian Opposition FrontPageAfrica.com-->By Bubacarr Ceesay

November 11, 2005
Barely a week after president Jammeh's fuming on national television over what he claimed as opposition ploys to start a war between the Gambian and Senegal, a major Taiwanese newspaper has revealed and further confirmed allegations made on AllGambian that Yahya Jammeh did in fact dispatch letters to some world leaders during the past UN General Assembly meeting.
In the letter Jammeh accused "Senegal of attempting to launch attacks on Gambia and Guinea-Bissau by stepping up its weaponry purchases from France." the paper noted. "This stunning revelation which the embattled Gambian leader conspicuously failed to make any mention of in his rambling during his Eid Mubarak meeting with the Islamic leaders is further testimony that Yahya Jammeh uses the convenience of his media monopoly to launch baseless and wild attacks against his rivals.", hinted an observer.
Jammeh on the other hand had portrayed himself during the said meeting as the nonviolence guy who handled the whole debacle with maturity and tolerance. Now that the truth is beginning to unfold, one wonders if Jammeh will make public the damaging letter he dispatched to the world leaders, which AllGambian sources confirmed is in possession of the Senegalese authorities.
Meanwhile, opposition figures and AllGambian commentators have widely condemned Jammeh's blanket threats of violence and fabrications against them.
Below is the unedited news article from Taipei Times online
Foreign ministry rejects newspaper's allegationsDIPLOMATIC LINKS: The ministry spokesman said that President Chen had not been tipped off nor given any early warning about Senegal's switching ties to Beijing
By Chang Yun-ping
STAFF REPORTER
Wednesday, Nov 09, 2005,Page 2
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday denied media reports that President Chen Shui-bian (???) had received prior notice from Gambia's president last month over Senegal's intention to defect to China.
Gambian President Yahya Jammeh was reported to have sent messages to Chen during his visit in Taiwan for the Double Ten National Day celebrations last month to be extra careful of the possibility of Senegal switching its ties to China, a Chinese-language newspaper said. Ministry spokesman Michel Lu (???) said that Jammeh did send a letter to Chen on Sept. 15, accusing Senegal of attempting to launch attacks on Gambia and Guinea-Bissau by stepping up its weaponry purchases from France.
Lu said Jammeh made the accusations against Senegal in the UN meeting in September. Lu said that Taiwan's representative office in New York had been asked to forward the letter back to Chen.
The six-page, 22-paragraph letter did not contain any information suggesting any changes to either Senegal-Taiwan or Senegal-China relations, he said.
"The whole letter is about affairs between Gambia and Senegal and there is no mention of Senegal-Taiwan or Senegal-China relations," Lu said.
The ministry denied that Jammeh had personally tipped Chen during his visit to Taipei to be cautious about Senegal's interactions with China, saying the conversations between the two leaders did not touch on anything related to Taiwan-Senegal relations.
The Presidential Office also issued a statement yesterday, sternly refuting the newspaper report.
The Presidential Office's Department of Public Affairs said in a press statement that Jammeh had said nothing last month about Taiwan's relations with Senegal.
Jammeh did not address the issue in the letter sent to Chen in September either, it said. In other diplomatic news, the ministry yesterday dismissed media reports that the government had given the Marshall Islands US$5 million to build a floating dock, which was later discarded after environmentalists protested that it would would damage marine resources. Lu said the dock was funded by private companies, not the government.
"President Chen did not promise to fund the building of the floating dock during his visit to the Marshall Islands in May," he said.
It's entirely the business of Taiwanese companies and the Marshall Islands," the spokesman said.
