>Hello Coach,
>After the reaction of Saiks Samateh to Ousman Bojang's questions, the
>arrest of "Dumo" Saho and the targeting of Moja-G members is now beginning
>to make a bit of sense to me. I mentioned Sajo Jallow as a potential victim
>because he is or was a member of Moja-G. Well, immediately following his
>appointment as spokesperson of the Jammeh regime, a Secretary of State was
>over heard by a colleague of mine complaining about Yahya bringing in
>"these ex-revolutionaries" into their midst. Some of the SoSs and the APRC
>members see these ex-MOJA members, particularly those who have set up NGOs
>in The Gambia, as nothing but "fronts to recruit members at the grassroots
>level to undermine the APRC". May be that is the reason why Sajo has not
>been heard to speak, as government's spokesperson, since his first press
>conference after the 10-11 April Massacre. I am aware of the good job "Boka
>Loho" and "Gamsem" are doing in trying to help alleviate poverty in the
>rural areas. They are amongst the most successful grassroots NGOs in the
>Gambia. They practise what they preach. The welfare wing of PDOIS is doing
>similar work and they should have been applauded on the L, as recently as
>yesterday when Halifa posted the accounts of the Wuli Fund. Anyway, why
>target Ex-Moja-G? The only answer one could give at this point is that
>Moja-G constitutes more of a threat than the other welfare organisations.
>Interpretation of this selective persecution abound. I thank Saiks Samateh
>and Ousman Bojang for enlightening those of us who may have missed this
>very important point.
