I am very encouraged by the UDP press release condemning the despicable actions of the illegal regime we have back home and making it known to Yaya and his cohorts that the opposition is not going to tolerate a lack of prosecution in this matter. I strongly support calls for Ousman Badgie's prosecution; albeit by a private prosecutor. This case belongs in the courts. If the government is not going to punish these bandits, we should take the law into our own hands. I was also very please to read, on Gambian newspapers, the several condemnations coming from human rights activists like Mr. Emmanuel Joof and Mr. Sillah. Also striking, were views expressed by Hawa Sisay (former AG and sister-in-law of Joseph Joof). Hawa categorically condemned the government's rejection of the findings of the commission of inquiry. I hope Hawa will also ask her brother-in-law to do what is right and ensure that the criminals that perpetrated the heinous massacre on April 10 and 11, are punished for their crimes. Our focus should be on the lack of prosecution. Frankly, I careless about the contents of the commission's report. The bottom-line is, the criminals have to be brought before a court of law where they can be punished. We need concrete steps from Joseph Joof and Yaya. For starters, Ousman Badgie and all those criminals need to be arrested and incarcerated forthwith while they wait for their trials before a regular court of law. If this government (now including Joseph Joof) can justify keeping Dumo et al in jail one extra minute, they should have no problems jailing the murderers of our children while they await trial. As I said before, if Joseph Joof cannot deliver on these issues, he had no businesss accepting the position of AG. People that see Joseph Joof as a devout catholic and a good lawyer, do not know Joof. I know a very different Joseph Joof and I will take this opportunity to warn Joof and his family and friends that this is war and we do not take prisoners. One wrong move Joof makes, he will hear from us loud and clear; and nothing is out of bounce. The opposition should call for civil disobedience against the government until Yaya decides to do what is right. According to reports from The Gambia, a cross-section of the society is appalled by Yaya's decision not to prosecute the vermin that murdered our children. The situation cannot be more ripe. If the public knows that the opposition leaders are ready to go all the way, they will rally behind the leaders. Organize a rally and a march, bus your supporters to banjul and go take over the state house and capture and jail Ousman Badgie. In due course we will post information on the List to show you how ill-equipped our army is. People that really know the army, will expose its weaknesses. Remember how they blew themselves up when they did not heed Ebou Colly's warnings and attempted to use their archaic weapons? They cannot withstand a demonstration of even five hundred adults. If the opposition have five thousand men marching towards the state house, I can guarantee you that the coward (Yaya) would be peeing his pants. We must not let an impotent like Yaya emasculate us. The people surrounding Yaya will not protect him. His closest associates cannot stand him. They are just a bunch of cowards that do not know what to do if Yaya is removed. I respectfully urge the opposition back home to come down hard on Yaya and reject all proposals from Joseph Joof and Yaya if they do not plan to bring the culprits before a court of law and punish those animals for their crimes. I also want to mention here two other stories I came across in Gambian newspapers. The first involves reports of an NRP candidate crossing over to APRC and the despicable comments made by the so-called supporters of the NRP politician and the likes of Buba Baldeh. Buba Baldeh should kiss up to APRC all he can and enjoy what he is doing while it lasts. This is absolutely his last chance. When we get rid of Yaya, if Buba Baldeh is lucky (or should I say unlucky) to get away with his life, let him know that he is going to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail. What a despicable character? When we are done with people like Baldeh, they will wish that they never heard the name Yaya. It is my mission to ensure that all these slime balls (including Pap Cheyassin Secka) are brought before a court of law, convicted of their crimes, and have their brains blown out by a firing squad in order to send a message to other potentially sleazy Gambians. People have to be accountable for their actions. That brings me to the other story that reported the corruption that is going on at NAWEC. Batchi Baldeh should also know that this was his last chance and he already blew it by accepting a job from Yaya. To make matters worst, Batchi is now involved in shenanigans with the likes of Amadou Samba. I have lost what little respect I had for this young man. He has shown that he is incapable of properly utilizing his good education and talents God gave him. He just confirmed to us that he is just another prostitute after all. What a waste? We are documenting all their moves. When the time comes, they will have nowhere to hide. I wonder what people like Batchi, Amadou Samba, Pap Cheyassin Secka et al think about when they see the PPP elite rendered destitute by Yaya and his cohorts. If they have any sense at all, they should know that no luxury in this world is worth mortgaging your soul to the Devil. The corrupt people of the ancien regime saw their luxuries dissipate overnight. Toys they toiled to amass for thirty years, destroyed by the stroke of a pen or the ruling of a judge. What makes Batchi or Samba or the present corrupt elite think that they would not suffer the same fate? What make them think that they also would not be investigated and their properties seized if they were gotten illegally? One would have thought that educated men like Batchi, Famara Jatta, Amadou Samba et al will behave differently from semi-illiterates like Saihou Sabally. Batchi et al at least have the benefit of hindsight. They saw what happened to the PPP elite. Yaya is living on borrowed time. When we get rid of him, the people that greased his treacherous machine, will go down with him. Rest assured of that.
