Gambia-L: The unedited commentary below came from a source in the Gambia. George Sarr: Great to hear from you. My warmest regards to the family. Seedy Ahmed: From now on, I intend to be sending daily messages to the L until after the presidential election. In fact, later this evening, I'll send one. My source: On the way forward, I can address that in one of my subsequent postings. By the way, let's not also forget the brilliant Gambia-L position paper written by Dr Saine some time ago. It should be somewhere in the Gambia-L archives.

It was brilliantly written which will definitely prick the >conscience of even the most brutal dictator and his sycophants. Keep it >coming and as Seedy Ahmed said, the print outs are already in circulation >through Banjul and the provinces. Yahya MUST GO. He senses it, Fatoumatta >Jahumpa Ceesay senses it, Baba Jobe senses it and the APRC stalwarts sense >it. You should see them on television last night, both FJC and SOS >Interior spoke incoherently and appear to be in a daze. In fact, >Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay said on national television that Jammeh did not >go to Basse to campaign but rather to thank the URD for re-electing him >President. Could you believe it? While the Opposition is busy carrying >their message to the people by criss-crossing the country, albeit with a >degree of difficulty and frustration, with constant attempt by a desperate >band of thugs to disrupt and broken ferries, the APRC is in Banjul driving >around with a band of kids of school-going age handing out T-shirts. Let >it be known that these elections will be won on issues and the singular >desire of the Gambian people to rid themselves of the Jammeh regime. Come >October 18, this will happen. There is no second round. People are >talking of the Alliance winning resoundingly in Round One. I think that >they sense what's in store for them. In fact some of them already packing >and making arrangements to have their families moved safely to Dakar. Most >of them can only go as far as Dakar because no other country in Western >Europe will issue them visas. Yahya is heading for Cuba with a handful of >his family and relatives, including the infamous Kujabis leaving Fatoumatta >Jahumpa, Yankuba Touray, Kebba Ceesay and Sambou (Ex NIA) and the rest of >his Cabinet to face the music. Meanwhile, I urge you Coach, to keep the >messages coming between now and election day. We all know how busy you are >but you have always put Gambia first despite your heavy schedule. We thank >you, the Gambia-L, Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (both US and >UK branches), individuals who have been working tirelessly over the last >two years to unseat Yahya Jammeh. Your success in achieving this objective >is just a matter of time; in a few days that success would be a reality. >Your next message should also address the Way Forward for the new >Government which will be facing a daunting task of nation building. > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
