Suntou,
 
I will be very disappointed if the Gunjur Darboes accepted this monetary  
gift from Yahya knowing that Presidents don't gift to citizens or select  
families. I hope if they had accepted this gift, they return it immediately. 
One  thing though I would like to share is that there are some Darboes who are 
Jola.  They generally hail from the Cassamance area. Just to share the 
varied nature of  surnames/last names in Gambia. WHether they are Sarahule, 
Mandingo, jahanke,  Jola, Wolof, Aku, Fula, or Njago, or Tukuleur, they will 
have utterly  disappointed me (sharing the same surname) if they were to have 
accepted and or  not returned this odious gift. I hope JDAM can help clarify 
this matter and if  possible assist in the good return of the money. If they 
cannot return the gift  once accepted due to traditional fancy, then at 
least they can transfer to gift  to other aversed families of Brufut (Taf-Taf 
bereft of Gardens theft of Brufut  land comes to mind... The Manneh and 
Sanneh families of Brufut) and my friend  Roberts promises to help me raise funds 
for the Gunjur Darboes should they need  D300,000.00. It is unconscionable 
in Islam to receive such a gift.
 
Maa Kaana Ibraaheema yahoodiyyan walaa nasraaniyyan walaakin kaana haneefan 
 muslimann wamaa kaana minal mushrikeena.
 
Haruna.

The sudden interest of Yahya Jammeh in the ancient traditional heritage  
site of the Gunjure Darboes have become a major political ball game for  
eccentric Gambian leader. The Gunjure Darboes like many of our ancestor use to  
have places of traditional interest, however, with Islamisation and  
Christianisation, many of those holy places became areas of abandonment.
The Gunjure Darboes have no more interest in that location in terms of  
worship. Yet, Gambia's Sheik Professor, a man who perform Ummrah nearly every  
year want to reignite a place of ancient worship for politics. The story  
emanating from the Gambia is bizarre and crazy. 
The Gunjure Darboes are known for their independent and strong mindedness  
in terms of politics. They are among the first settlers in Gunjure, hence  
their influence. Yahya want to offer them a carrot and stick at the same 
time.  The latest news is that, he give the extended family over D300,000, just 
like  he gave the Brufut people D3million. Where are all these monies coming 
from?  Why is Yahya selectively handing out cash?
The good thing is that, the Gunjure Darboes knows Yahya has no interest  
the so call holy site, his intention is to break the spirits of the family by  
inducement, thereby damaging their will to back a party of thier choice.
Time will tell. The dignity of the Gunjure Darboes remain intact.
