Mr Ebou colly I really find your ideas informative and educative. I just want to mention that it has been highly rumoured that you are not really ebou colly. If so WHY should you hide your identity? >From: ebou colly <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: YAYA MUST RESIGN (PART TWO) >Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 14:38:13 -0700 > > YAYA MUST >RESIGN (PART-TWO) > > >The news that Yaya went to the hospital to see the >children he had ordered for their killing but were >fortunate to be saved by god was the climax of his >mockery to the bereaved families and the entire >Gambian people.

After the >Farafenni attack for example on the 8th of November >1996, he instructed his former guard commander >Lieutenant Landing Sanneh to carry out one of the most >primitive rituals in the barracks. State guard >personnel were sent to bury several bags of ordinary >salt everywhere in the camp. This could be confirmed >with those soldiers serving at 2Infantry Battalion, >Farafenni barracks. When we asked Yaya why, he said he >was advised by his juju-man to do so which would be >the final guarantee that no army camp would ever be >attacked by surprise again. Eight months after, on the >21st of July 1997, Kartong was attacked in the most >surprising manner ever imagined.

Captain L. T. Tamba was there and >was a live witness to that embarrassing incident. Yaya >trying to mystify himself before us told everybody >including his guards not to follow him under one big >tree where he said he was going to discuss certain >things with his ancestral bees. He even warned us that >if we followed him under the tree, the bees could >sting us and that would mean death to any one stung. >So we stayed away from a reasonable distance watching. >However, shortly after he stated acting as if he was >talking to the bees buzzing around their hives on the >branches, the insects suddenly attacked and almost >killed him while he ran all over the dusty bushes.

Yet the moron >had to later send an old haggard-looking woman from >the village to tell us that the bees attacked Yaya >because they were upset with him for not greeting them >when he first arrived in the village that morning. >This is not a joke Gambians; this is the real >mentality of the president leading our country.
