Gambia-L: Another e-mail from one of my sources in Banjul. Saul Khan: I am glad that you guys are encouraging my sister Fatou Jaw Manneh to start writing; just keep the pressure on her until she does something.

The raw information has to be processed and verified >before counter measures are taken. The opposition is aware and the >situation is being well monitored. The UDP intelligence network is far >superior to that of this regime as it has been demonstrated time and time >again. The Basse incident is a good case in point. The UDP got the >information that Baba Jobe and his brother were planning to ambush their >entourage which was reproted by Femi Peters to the Banjul Police well >before the incident took place. Now >this piece concerns the alliance between Cheyassin Secka and Simon Talibo >Sanneh both of whom, as you know, were involved in both the planning and >execution of the ill-fated 1981 coup d'etat against the Jawara regime. >Several meetings have been held between Cheyassin, Simon Talibo Sanneh and >one "Commander Nasile" in Burkina Faso. And to facilitate Talibo Sanneh's >movements within the region, including Guinea-Bissau and Burkina-Faso, >Cheyassin has given one of the two vans he took on credit from CFAO (which >I reported earlier)to Simon Talibo Sanneh. He is seen driving Cheyassin >around at times. Their relationship has become closer since their days at >Mile 2 doing life. And now that both of them are "free men" and still with >the undiminished desire of Cheyassin to be President of The Republic of The >Gambia, something appears to be in the making but, as I said, things are >not yet clear. But the alliance between Cheyassin, Simon Talibo Sanneh and >the "Commader Nasile" is of concern not only to the Opposition and the >diplomats, but also to the Civil Servants. This is all I wish to say on >this development for now, except that both Cheyasssin and Simon Talibo >Sanneh are very well aware of the fact that there is a complete break down >of law and order in the Gambia. Cheyassin would like to further his aims by >contributing to the already existing lawlessness and chaos and that is one >of the reasons why he is pursuing Ousainou's case in court. If he succeeds >in placing Ousainou in remand, the stage would have been set.
