Gambia-L: The e-mail below came from a source in the Gambia. I am sending it unedited. Ebrima Ceesay ______________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: "Samba Boye" on Ousman Jammeh: A case in point >Date: Ebrima, >The most recent posting on the issue on whether Ousman Jammeh will be the >next AG or not is a perfect illustration of what you and I exchanged >messages on at least two occasions. I try to provide the bear minimum of >information because I cannot afford at this stage to give full details for >obvious reasons. What I said about Ousman was the bear minimum because as I >said then, I know him very well. He is a Jammeh sympathiser and he will >accept the post of AG, if offered. This came as a surprise to some on the L >for understandable reasons. The transformation of Gambian society under >Jammeh is phenominal which most, on the List, have not witnessed the >process. Sychophancy and corruption under Jammeh has never been seen >before in the annals of Gambian history. So, please members, do not be >surprised if you are told that Mr.X is the closest adviser to Jammeh or >that Mrs.Y offers sexual favours to Jammeh and/or his army boys. Do what >"Samba Boye" has just done: get some one else on the ground to suppliment >what ever is being said by Ebrima's "sources". In short, do a follow-up of >your own for the purposes of either confirming or refuting the information. > Ebrima, the lady who questioned the motive of one of your sources >provoked a response from a source which you Ebrima, acting as arbitrator, >decided that it was not worth responding to. The matter was dropped until >Ousainou Ngum came to our defence which drew the feeble reply "I just >wanted to get it right" or something to that effect;whatever that means. We >will continue to stay focussed and keep our exchanges and follow-up to a >bear minimum, again for obvious reasons but I would like to plead with all >of you to please follow up on these issues being raised in this forum so >that all of us can better appreciate the situation on the ground which is >deteriorating by the hour in our beloved country. On behalf of your other >sources, we say thank you to Mr. Ousainou Ngum for reacting to the question >of the lady which was designed to discredit your sources, advertently or >inadvertently. >As you know, Ebrima, I draft these messages on the run and so I do not go >back on them or run them through a spell check but I hope that you will >post this message for potential would-be distractor amongst you. For us, >this is a crusade, as Ousainou pointed out, and not child's play. We have >very little time to engage in frivilous matters. Until my next message,we >continue to say keep it up Abdul Kabir Njie, Kebba Dampha, Ebou Colly, >Jabou Joh, Hamjatta, Bamba Laye, Comrade Jassey-Conteh the man from East >Kombo Constituency, Dr Mansour Ceesay, Saul Saidykhan, Elhajj Mustapha Fye >and the rest of the crew. As for you Ebrima, what else can we say; sorry, I >am lost for words. THE TRUTH SHALL ULTIMATELY TRIUMPH. > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
