Events unfolding in the Gambia indicate that the end is nigh, Baba Jobe and Yankuba Touray were the most vocal and conveniently positioned in the hiearchy of the APRC, the aprc as a movement have never existed peresay but with the organisational schemes oy Yankuba and Baba they had a semblence of a party now that these two party stalwarts are removed and disgraced nothing remains but a hollowed concept. The APRC is no more the pretence is unravelling, now more than ever the opportunity exist for the opposition parties to dictate the direction of events, with little understanding and sincererity Jammeh could be pushed, this may not be easy but it is much more probable than ever before. What we are wittnessing is manifestation of desperation, but to capitalise will require a modicum of organisation. All the opposition parties should develop an approach that would facilitate a common strategy, after all things are falling apart and the centre cannot any longer hold, instead of allowing events to just roll by a concious effort should be taken to push Jammeh even further to the edge. Clearly Jammeh have demonstrated that he have no friends any body that appear to be gaining a momentum of popularity would sooner or later be a sacrificial lamb. In such a precarious position all those who had assumed that they are insulated from the reach of Jammeh are feeling exposed and vulnerable. Of all people Yankuba was the most vocal of his griots he wou7ld always run to the defence of the master, now that the master do'nt want him any more he is feeling the brunt, of course no tears or sympathy must be extended, after all, these people should have seen the oscillating tendencies of Jammeh and now they the authors of their own folly. I hope instead of condeming and explaining all the opposition parties would evolve a common approach to capitalising after all the dead knell of the APRC is sounding loud and clear, without friends and mates Jammeh is left very vulnerable >From: Amadu Kabir Njie <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Fw: Yankuba REACTS TO SACKING >Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 06:50:37 -0500 > >What's up Jammeh?
