WHAT THE PAPERS SAY-BANJUL/DAKAR COLD WAR STRENGTHENED BY YAHYA!
OPTV revisits what the papers say on the ground and then joins the readers who are interested in analysing Yahya Jammeh's words within the Banjul/Dakar cold war's paradigm.Immediately after landing from his recent trip to Dakar as an invited guest together with other Heads of state during Senegal's 4th of April's national day,Yahya Jammeh once again disgraced Gambians who are yet to know his real intensions!
He has finally shown you his true colours.
Let us quote from the daily observer and then analyse the latest insulting remarks from Yahya towards Dakar.These analyses are going to be compared and contrasted with what we said here before and the latest is what Yahya has unknowingly sealed for us at the airport.
Quote:"The conflict has a subtractive effect on The Gambian economy and it affects the cross border trade as well as the re-export trade with Guinea Bissau.......When the refugees come to The Gambia they don't pay for medical care and we have to cater for it.....
The Gambia can Only actively take part in looking for a possible solution to the conflict in Casamance if given the mandate to do so........The whole world knows the position of The Gambia on the Casamance conflict.If they want us to help them,we should be first given a mandate......"
Issues of bilateral concerns discussed with President Wade...
"Armed robbery and cattle rustling..."
(courtesy of daily observer...).
OPTV'S version...First we thank the reporters from the daily observer for reporting things exactly as they were said.OPTV has no intension whatsoever of burying the good that any citizen does neither are we ready to condone any Jammehnised nonsense in our country.
Hear?!!!!!!! Yahya A "Jail" "Jail" Jammeh?!!! Hear the sad adder again??? It is now that Yahya rediscovers the word "subtractive" as far the border trade between our small country and bellicose regional powers like Senegal are concerned? Poor Gambia!!! How about the pride of a so-called Benjamin of African Heads of state? Benjamin? How about Joseph Kabila sir? Can't people read and see another lesson from the "jahatou economics" research center? Cross border trade...as well as re-export trade to Guinea Bissau? These emphasis are not found in our lexis and structures anywhere.Goodness!!! Re-export trade to Bissau and re-export to Senegal are all the same.Cross border trade affects all borders within ECOWAS.The Gambia is a passage that can actually send a signal and allow re-export and cross border trade to the 300 Million inhabitants of West Africa.This cannot be if we snub Senegal!!! Never!!! Why call for Bissau where Senegal is nearer and better of! f? B
issau was sponsored by Senegal to go CFA!!! Yahay are your economists up to date??? The same Bissau was only two weeks ago dislodging rebels from Casamance within their country in full force.Where or when did Wade give Bissau a MANDATE? What mandate does Yahya want apart from our good neighbouliness? What elses? If Bissau a lusophone country and farther in terms of family geography,politics,history,traditions can come close to Senegal...Why not us the ones who share the same roots from the times of The Damel of Cayor to Bundu? Here we can openly see a sealed hypocrite talking.Mandate my boots!!!!!!!
Yahya we are not snoring bro,try harder and see.
He shamelessly says that when the refugees come Gambia provides medical care? What did we see the Sieraleonnean refugees say on allafrica.com? That was an international disgrace.How about us refusing foreigners commercial vehicle driving licences? Yahya please remember that all intelligence units are reading the news around you every second. Be careful bro.How can Gambia help cure Senegalese or Casamance refugees when Taiwan gave us two weeks ago a meager subvention to pay our mdeical staff and then add more aspirin in those lockers that have long since been covered by cob webs? How? How can we use Doctors from the creeks near Guantanamo bay help refugees when they are yet to help any Gambian? Why did Yahya change his Cuban doctor to an Egyptian then? Are those remnants the ones who will cure the refugees?
Then why could they not help cure lawyer Sillah? Why doesn't Zeinab take Myriam Jammeh's flu shots from there..? Well I forgot these are members of the royal family.Am sorry for mistaking them with refugees.Salute them and bow.Yahya is a king in the ring of insanity.He who saltutes and bows for Yahya is not far from campama either.
The laughable part is when Yahya uses the word "THEY" they who? Why not come out plain and mention names? This is a testimonial that reveals the truth in respect of our postings when Yahya was talking about the "rabb" at the Kerewan bridge!!! Didn't we tell everyone that Yahya was using his transparent "gaarouwaaleh" at Farafeni? He mentioned hospitals at that gathering and here we can see him repeat the same when he was fresh from Dakar.OPTV knows Yahya more than Zeinab and we have always been saying so.(see the dailyobserver's archives for the 5th of April the article is there).These are written facts and nothing personal from us.
Senegal cannot feel at ease with blood diamond smugglers and arms sales men to help stop a war??? Why would Wade opt dealing with Yalla and others who only speak Bissau creole,Portuguese and some broken French over someone who speaks English(at least to be understood by Wade by ignoring the grammar from Yahya),some French snap shots that he learnt from Zeinab over the years and then wolof,likewise Jola?
Yahya should revisit his innerself and see why many are spitting on him.
Yahya also says that the whole world knows The Gambia's position on the Casamance conflict.That is true and that is why those Gambians combined are showing Yahya's own role in the open now.Yahya's closest ally was on a UN travel ban to defend him for two main reasons.1) Because Yahya's name is smeared with the blood of Sieraleonean refugees-lest we forget the blood diamond.OPTV will very soon play an audeo tape of a movie called SAXENA on line to show how Yahya's type were involved in the blood diamond deals from 1994 to date.This production is from renowned Canadian journalists.
Yahya makes me laugh and those who use people like OJ on the ground as examples compared to OPTV also do not know what is really going on.There is big difference between mowing a dirty lawn and scrubbing tiles! OJ is doing a good job and he also respects the roles being played by others.We know why is name is being dragged into this...Yahya's men use infantile tactics.We will never implicate OJ in our cause.He chose the ballot box and we chose the intelligentia that will help many causes.Yahya knows what he is feeling now(that is hotter than the bullets he will receive in his head one day).Yahya cannot escape the over whelming sea.Yahya cannot be an ally on this war against terrorism and he knows why he grew angry immediately after he returned from Dakar.This is really merry-go-round.Ghana to canvass for votes,and then Dakar to reaffirm Wade's readiness.How about when Yahya is all of a sudden summoned by Alpha Oumar Konare and co to spew what he knows before the tide sw! allo
ws him? On that day he will know if Blaise and Njie Saidy can defend his warambas.
The best time is the time determined by God.God is on our side bro.
Hear???!!!!!!!! again Goodness! shame on this soul.
Quote:"issues of bilateral concern discussed with President Wade..." that is what?
Yahya says:ARMED ROBBERY AND CATTLE RUSTLING????????????
God please am on my knees please please save our land!!!
Issues of bilateral importance etc etc security etc etc...Nothing else but armed robbery and cattle rustling? Chei!!!
Wade is an artist A1 he knows what fits our mad man's head.That fits him.
A wrestler and local zoologist discusses cattle rustling.Oh yes!!!
OPTV has what Wade said and we will leave Yahya talk for now till later.Wade rebuked the mad man for being behind the banditry and this was done in the presence of other leaders who were there.Read Yahya's reaction at the aiport!!! Read it please.The anger was plain.Would any sane person dispute that? Why would Yahya start using words like "they" and then crying wolf that he is not given a mandate to play an active role in the Casamance crises? Doing so immediately after coming from Senegal speaks volumes.
For those who think Yahya will be an ally on the war against terrorism in Wset Africa you will see more details during the coming days.Stay tuned OPTV will not even talk on that now.
