Jobe, thanks for the forward. Now a lot of things are beginning to make
sense to me. The past few days I was wondering to myself why on earth Sedat
Jobe will be so stupid to put himself on the firing line by siding with the
Wade Government at the expense of the Casamance rebels. Little did I knew
that the vermin was acting on the basis of a piece of paper (letter from
Wade to Yaya). So, in order to have a letter APRC can plant on the Observer,
Sedat Jobe is willing to stand before the whole world and ask the Casamance
rebels to stop their fight with the Senegalese Government?

Sedat does NOT realize still that he is dining with the Devil. He does NOT
know that the Senegalese got them figured out a long time ago. The
Senegalese know better than any Gambian the support Yaya gives to the
rebels. The Senegalese know that what Yaya says when a Senegalese minister
is present and what he says to the rebels alone, is like day and night.
Besides what the vermin is saying, the Senegalese also know what the vermin
is doing. The movements of the Casamance rebels in The Gambia (calling press
conferences, getting medical treatment, getting Gambian identity documents,
getting weapons from Baabaa Jobe, getting their drugs transported in Yaya's
plane etc.) … all these are known by the Senegalese Government. Let me be
magnanimous and even inform you that the Senegalese got the blue-print of
Yaya's bunker in Kanilai.

It is nothing to the Senegalese Government to send Yaya a letter like this
if they can have the moron and his side-kick (Sedat Jobe) stand before the
whole world and demoralize the rebels. It is laughable for Sedat Jobe to
pretend to be a seasoned diplomat, yet he cannot see through what is going
on here. Clearly Wade has no respect whatsoever for the uncouth and
semi-illerate moron leading us. Were these vermin not the same people that
were unceremoniously kicked out of the 'peace talks' by the Wade Government?
Was it not the same Sedat Jobe that came out then to whine about the way
Wade unmasked their shenanigans? Sure Wade can get some junior writer at the
'Palais' to pen some few nice words for our moron if the moron and his
side-kick promise to condemn the rebels and throw them out of Gambia. I
sincerely hope that Senegal's tactic works. I hope Yaya is very happy with
these words and stop sponsoring the rebels. That way, we will bring back
peace to our neighbors. But knowing the vermin and his genocidal tendencies
and his tribalistic rhetoric (believing that the Jola should lead Gambia and
Casamance), I doubt whether Wade's words will convince him to stop
sponsoring the rebels. Yes, Wade's words will make him talk tough to the
rebels in front of a Senegalese minister. Yes, Wade's words will make a
moron like Sedat Jobe go out in the public and condemn the rebels. But I
doubt whether Wade's words will convince Yaya to withdraw the support he
gives to the rebels in the form of sanctuary in The Gambia. Yaya had barely
spoken to the Senegalese ministers and Sedat Jobe had barely spoken to the
press condemning the rebels, when you had the rebels giving their own press
conference in The Gambia (NOT Casamance) debunking what Sedat Jobe had to
say.

Jobe, nice letter. But what did Yaya and Sedat Jobe give to the Senegalese
in return? Is your boss prepared to stop sponsoring the rebels and
encouraging the fighting in the Sub-region? Or is he going to go down like
his mentor (Ansumana Mane) in order for peace to return to Casamance?
