Gambia-L: Again I am forwarding the unedited opinion to the L, on behalf of an elated source in The Gambia. Take note that I am sending my source's email as received. Ebrima Ceesay _____________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: "If I lose on 18th, I'll put on army uniform on 19th" says JAMMEH >Date: Sat, 13 Oct > >Coach, > >Finally, Yahya has come to realize that he will lose on the 18th October. >He said today and I quote "if I lose the 18th October presidential >elections, I will put on my army uniform on the 19th October." His >desperation is driving this man insane. He has lately resorted to >threatening the electorate who are determined to send him packing on the >18th October. Threats will NOT change voters' determination to elect >Ousainou Darboe. As for Yahya, he can threaten all he wants; the Gambian >electorate will NEVER AGAIN be intimidated by the goons that support this >despotic regime. > >Meanwhile, President ousainou Darboe is busy campaigning to win the heart >and minds of the voters. He was supposed to have held his Soma Rally this >afternoon but because he arrived late, the people of Soma insisted that he >should stay over night so that the Rally could be held tomorrow in the >bright sunshine so that Baabaa Jobe and his cronies will see the size of >Ousainou's support in Soma and the LRD. In fact, Baabaa's thugs were trying >to ambush Ousainou's convoy at Pakaliba but they were repelled by the >Alliance supporters who easily outnumbered the thugs. They chased the >bandits who managed to escape, including the chief thug, Baaba Jobe. He ran >to the nearest police station to report that he was being chased, but was >ignored by the police. I think the police are also fed-up with the >shenanigans of the 22 July thugs. On another development, Ousainou Darboe >has warned civil servants who are blatantly supporting the APRC to the >extent of wearing "Asobis" that he wouldn't work with them should he be >elected President. He specifically mentioned The Gambia Ports Authority >Management, the Management of SSHFC and GPTC. These folks know who they >are; so let them consider this warning as notice to retire gracefully come >19th October 2001. Ousainou's Government will not terminate civil servants' >services willy nilly without due process. > >Ousainou's campaign has confirmed that the Gambian people have given notice >to the APRC that they have had enough of their misrule. Come Thursday, >they will be voted out of office regardless of the number of threats from >Yahya Jammeh and his gang of rogues. He never thought that he could be so >resoundingly repudiated by the electorate despite the financial inducements >showered on them. As if he needed re-confirmation, Yahya went up the Kombos >and found no one there to greet him. Coach, as you have clearly laid out in >your messages to the Gambian people, we have suffered enough under the >despotic rule of Yahya Jammeh and his cohorts. >PS: Seedy Ahmed, myself and many others have started reproducing your 30th >Message to the Gambian people. Distribution will start this evening >ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, COACH. > _________________________________________________________________ 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 <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
