>>>sending you this urgent mail is because Yahya, having regard to the fact
>>>that the APRC are in majority in the House, did ask the Attorney General
>>>this week about the possibilities of enacting a new law which will ban
>>>anybody charged with murder from contesting in the forthcoming elections.
>>>Yahya also enquired whether such a law could be made retroactive or
>>>backdated so that it will exempt Ousainou Darbo and those UDP members
>>>charged with the alleged murder of Alieu Njie from participating in the
>>>next elections. Ebrima, you see, Yahya has made abundantly clear to the
>>>AG
>>>that a way must be found, given the murder charge hanging on Ousainou
>>>Darbo, to ban him (Darbo) from participating in the forthcoming
>>>elections.
>>>Jammeh now knows that he cannot win any election in the Gambia and,
>>>seeing
>>>Darbo as a threat, he is now finding a way to ban him just as he did with
>>>Sheriff Dibba, Hassan Musa Camara and others during the last general
>>>elections. Ebrima, anyway we are waiting to hear what Cheyassin Secka
>>>would
>>>advice him with regard to this proposed new law that he, Jammeh, is
>>>suggesting. But one thing is clear: if he tries to ban Darbo from
>>>participating in the forthcoming elections because of a pending murder
>>>charge, then civil unrest of an unimaginable proportion will be seen in
>>>the
>>>country. I only hope that his Attorney General, for the sake of the peace
>>>and stability of the Gambia, will tell him in no uncertain terms that
>>>such
>>>a proposed law cannot be promulgated. Ebrima, I now believe that these
>>>people led by the butcher want war in the country judging by their
>>>actions
>>>and pronouncement. But we are ready for them. This is a noble struggle
>>>for
>>>us and we are ready to to re-capture our beloved motherland from these
>>>bandits.
