>It has come to my attention that a lot of people are
>very interested in knowing the whole story on Korro's
>death. I am constantly being rebuked for not coming
>out earlier to expose the whole story whilst I was in
>Government; but I believed then timing was very
>important and besides it would have been suicidal
>and the whole truth would have been buried with me
>forever...
>
>Now here is the story- I first had the oppurtunity to
>know Korro on a diplomatic mission to the UN. He
>was then an undersecretary at the Ministry of
>Finance, since then we became very close friends. I
>had alot of admiration for him, he was exceptionally
>smart, full of ideas and very enthused about our
>revolutionary cause. Being a young man like myself
>we bonded easily. Immediately after that mission,
>Yaya wanted to reshuffle his Cabinet, and Korro
>became a very favorable candidate. Korro was a star
>in the Council, personally he felt like a brother to me
>and we consulted on issues and I use to admirably
>call him SERRING DARRA. But obviuosly not everyone
>in the Council was happy with him. Edward Singharty
>felt very threatened by the amount of respect and
>admiration that Korro enjoyed from all of us including
>Yaya. Eventually his envy and insecurity turned to
>paranoia, that Korro might eventually be a prime
>candidate for No. 2 after the Elections. Besides
>Singharty never like the idea of us resigning from the
>military but Yaya was his main obstacle and he
>couldn't get my support to derail the process by
>overthrowing Yaya. Unfortunately enough, Koro
>became too overzealous and made some few
>misstakes by sometimes bypassing the whole Council
>in making decisions on his own and later informing
>Yaya. Of course this angered all of us and gave
>Singharty enough ammunition to alienate Koro from
>Yaya and the rest of us. Korro further aggravated his
>relations with Singharty with some petty
>confrontations which Singharty, being the type he is,
>saw as a personal vendetta and vowed to avenge.
>As time went on Korro's circumstances deteriorated
>to a point that Yaya asked the SG then Abou Wadda
>to draft a letter firing Korro. This occurred on a
>Tuesday morning in my presence. I left for Libya on
>Wednesday morning. On Friday that same week,
>Yaya left for Cairo and on that same fateful evening
>Koro was murdered. I first learned about it from
>Gaddafi himself who was utterly disturbed and he
>told me point blank that I should tell Yaya to quit
>this nonsense. I was very confused myself and felt
>really stupid.
>I returned to my hotel room after meeting Gaddafi,
>and called my wife immediately. She told me that she
>couldn't sleep the night before (meaning Friday)
>because all the Guards at Yankuba's House were
>abruptly told to come to my Residence at Fajara
>cause there is some suspicious activity at the
>coastline. She later told me that Aja, Singharty's
>wife urged her and Ma'amie, Yankuba's wife to all go
>immediately to State House No. 2, Singharty's
>Residence for an impromptu house party. They
>stayed there all night until Singharty, his brother
>Peter, and Yankuba all came in with mud and gas all
>over their body, and looking very worried. I was
>confused but maintained my calm until this morning, I
>flew to Geneva enroute back home. At Geneva, I
>joined the same Swiss flight with Jammeh who was
>also returning home from his trip. Jammeh told me
>almost everything that happened but then cut it
>short cause he was quarrelling with his wife then Tuti
>Faal. He told me to meet with him as soon as we got
>back home. At the statehouse Jammeh briefly
>mentioned the Korro's death then said that he was
>very tired and would like to have some rest. I
>insisted to talk him and Lamin Barjo also decided to
>stay. Only three of us and God, I and Barjo told
>Jammeh that we cannot be part of what happened
>and He Jammeh should do something about it. We
>told Jammeh that what happened was outrageous
>and He should distance himself from this savagery if
>he wants to preserve his honor. Jammeh sat there
>looking shocked, dissapointed and helpless. After a
>long silence we decided to leave him alone. The
>same night Singharty invited me over to his house
>with Yankuba, and after a few drinks, he narrated to
>me in fact laughing how they fooled Korro by inviting
>him to Yankuba's house, hit him on the head with a
>baseball bat and shot him in the head at blank range.
