Demba The interview itself came out fantastically, but Suntou's take on the two critical issues of Yaya Jallow and a front-line leadership role in the UDP, as well as on the visa saga, are quite compelling. A few years ago, a fellow-Gunjurian asked me to complete a US non-immigrant visa application for him here in London. Years earlier, he was issued a US visa in a combined application with his daughter, but he decided not to attend his relative's graduation. Daughter went and never returned. The application questionnaire revealed that issue and he was refused a visa on the grounds he got a US visa for a daughter who never returned. His application was refused on this ground alone. Question therefore is whether Yaya Jallow could have been involved in a similar issue, and was therefore refused exclusively on this basis. In a situation such as this, it is immaterial what others said because that alone sufficient to be denied a visa. Can you see Yaya Jallow publicly answering a question on such a scenario? I thanked you for grilling Suntou and in the process forcing him to open up LJDarbo On , Lamin Darbo <[log in to unmask]> wrote: What "clearance" and what "source" Farang? Based on my empirical understanding of visa and privacy issues, I am in no doubt the real answers are with Yaya Jallow himself. Although I have no private insight on this matter, the continuation of this conversation cannot be in his interest. He will therefore never be available to publicly clear the air on the matter if only because he has a reputation to protect. LJDarbo On Monday, 27 January 2014, 19:24, Edrissa S.

I would rather before coming Public with it Deal with it Internally ( as some suggested on one of my earlier commentaries) and let the chips fall where they may. Lamin I know you have sources in the UDP; Please refer to them on my position on the matter. For now I keep my Peace But this I would say I am deeply Disappointed on the Progress of the UDP since 1999. If Only the direction of the party was geared towards the development of Party and the Country the APRC would not be such a manifest state of Dominance in Gambian Politics. Some did speak to my purported membership; well such and similar happenings was not my Reason for joining the UDP. I am still a member of the UDP mark you. I will only continue on this discuss when you get clearance and sent it to my private email from your source. Much obliged. Farang. -----Original Message----- From: Lamin Darbo <[log in to unmask]> To: GAMBIA-L <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Mon, Jan 27, 2014 1:56 pm Subject: Re: DEMBA BALDEH AND SUNTOU TOURAY INTERVIEW ON THE UDP What are you waiting for then Farang? When this story first hit the rumour mills, it was some two or more years ago. So when are you telling us your conclusive version of events? LJDarbo On Monday, 27 January 2014, 18:52, Edrissa S.

It is not critical at all, and an informed decision can indeed be made on the available information as elaborated between Demba and Suntou. I think Suntou's position is more objectively defensible.

On balance though, Suntou acquitted himself rather remarkably. His answers on Yaya Jallow, whether on his subdued role as Deputy Leader of the UDP, or the US visa saga, are quite compelling. On both issues, Yaya Jallow, assuming he is part of the rumour mill implicating UDP bad faith, has no leg to stand on. I urge Demba to objectively revisit his position especially given his rather impressive understanding of how the US system operates. I doubt Yaya Jallow will agree to an on-air interview on the US-visa issue You are my star political interviewer Demba, but this one with Suntou, and Abou, is too needlessly quarrelsome.
