>Coach,
>The A(F)PRC Government is in real dire straits.  You recall how Yankuba
>Touray used to insult diasporans and other Gambians who chose to seek their
>futune abroad, by accusing them of marrying women twice their age just to
>secure resident status.  Well, he has changed his tune recently.  On a
>recent trip to Switzerland, this corrupt and shameless Yankuba tried to
>peddle the idea of having these hard-working Gambians to part trade their
>foreign currency directly with Government rather than through commercial
>Banks or Western Union.  Previously, he saw these hard-working Gambians as
>opportunists preying on vulnerable old European women.  Now, he sees them
>as a valuable source of foreign exchange which his A(F)PRC Government would
>like to benefit from.  Well, the response he received from the Diasporans
>was a flat NO. Yankuba, Yahya, and the rest of the Gang of Six have
>swandered the healthy reserves they inherited from the PPP Government they
>illegally deposed.  Now they have set their eyes on the foreign currency
>being remitted through non-Governmental channels with the belief that they
>can divert the hard currency into their pockets.
