Well folks, that's what you get with a "Town Crier". Be careful what you buy from the swift, for you might just be taken for a long ride. I think it was Musa Jeng that said Hamat will tell you anything you want to hear and here is a perfect example of that. HALIFA ON HAMAT’S COMMENTS IN THE US FOROYAA: HAMAT BAH Claims that negotiation is going on between NADD and the UDP/NRP Alliance and that within a short period of time one Candidate will be selected by the Opposition to contest the forth coming Presidential elections? Halifa: At the moment no arrangement is in place for the two sides to meet. When Hamat left a Consultative process had started between Mr. Darboe and myself to explore whether any basis could be developed to serve as a foundation for any negotiation. Confidentiality was requested and agreed upon. Hamats comments infact derailed the whole process. Chei! Please read below. Foroyaa; Why? Halifa : He created the impression that he had access to information regarding negotiation which had not even commenced and further remarked that NADD was just interested in position which completely misconstrued and trivialised the far reaching analysis and exchanges that I had with Mr. Darboe. The NADD executive gave me the exclusive mandate to discuss with Mr. Darboe without informing them of any details until agreement is reached for initiating negotiations. When Hamat made his remarks curiosity and uncertainty set in and the whole process had to come to a step pending further clarification on what he was propagating in the US. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
