>Ebrima,
>As Election 2001 draws near, there are threats and counter threats coming
>from the Yahya Jammeh camp.  It was reported here a month ago that Baba
>Jobe will resist going to Qatar because he feels being sidelined by Yahya
>because of the irreparable damage done by this semi-illeterate Assistant
>Secretary at the Office of the President. His misdeeds are so numerous that
>it would be worthless to catalogue here.  But, as you know Baba was
>involved in the murder of numerous Gambians over the years that the whole
>thing has become unbearable for even the chief Butcher and would therefore
>serve his purpose to send Baba off to the wild yonder of the Arab world.
>Since the announcement of his posting to Qatar, Baba has been sending
>delegation to Yahya to plead on his behalf to stay in Banjul so that he can
>continue to sieze private property, piston-whip guards at the Banjul
>International airport security zones, appoint and dismiss civil servants;
>in short to act as Co-President of The Republic.  Yahya would not have any
>of that according to his close adviser if he has any chance of a decent
>showing at the next elections. One of those who went to plead on Baba's
>behalf revealed to me that Yahya's response to him was "Baba Jobe either
>goes to Qatar or I will send him to jail-let him take his pick."
