Ramatoulie,
This guy is very illusive.Last year after the UN meeting, Mr.Jammeh met with
concerned citizens he went to Banjul and temporarily dissolve the infamous
'youth wing of july 24',just to praise them in his sixth feet deep speech at
the state house just months before meeting the united nations this year.
Many of us were dumb found to know that this group is still operational in
the Gambia.Which he vowed to dissolve for good.
I hope that he changes because its very apparent by his initiative or
Gods our land will see better days,when each Gambian life is respected
and Gambian children will not look next door and wish they had the peace
and freedom found in Dakar Senegal.
     More than i hope for Jammehs temporal miraclous change,i hope that
the few Gambians muslims that have what it takes will tie him down and
transport him to mecca in secrete that he may have his 'will' to be close to
Allah. And perhaps pray and fast for a week that he may see that he is not
Rasululie or anyone close to HIM! Most of his miscalculations are fed to him
by deranged dancers and pysdo intelectuals who have lost their power to
compassionate for others.
     Their hearts either numbed by experience or lost in religious
fanatism and imagined rewards will not open to see that it matters what we
do on to each other right here on earth!
     Like the Nazi murderers they site fear and chain of command to blow
their younger brothers out of the face of the only existence
they got.
     Tell you the truth it will take Gambians to change Gambia the only
change Mr Jammeh knows how is to change title and clothing and other peoples
jobs.The only problem with his way of changing titles is he only know to go
up the ladder when it comes to pampering himself.
      My only fear is if one of these days he gets up and call himself
Allah! That Gambians close to him will not believe and start worshiping him
by looking upwards instead of the right way handed down to us!

>>>The chief pathologist at the Royal Victoria Hospital Dr. Thomas Sam has
>>>told
>>>the High Court that the late Ebrima Barry's death was caused by a chronic
>>>hepatitis of about six months old.
>>>
>>>Dr. Sam was giving evidence on the post mortem report made on Ebrima
>>>Barry
>>>after his death in March 2000 by Dr. Raphael of the Cuban medical team.
>>>Dr.
>>>Sam said that when he returned from a trip to South Africa, a report was

>>>and
>>>the final.
>>>
>>>He said the preliminary stage was based on what was observed by the naked

>>>Cuban doctors and himself as the head of the unit. Dr. Sam further told

>>>led to a blockage of the blood flow in the lungs. He said it was due to
>>>the
>>>blockage of the blood flow which led to Barry's death, which he said is
>>>normally caused by serious chronic diseases. He however expressed
>>>surprise
>>>that Ebrima Barry was able to be walking about with such a disease.
>>>
>>>Ebrima Barry died on March 9, 2000 while he was student at Forster's
>>>Technical School in Brikama. He was said to have had some problems with
>>>his
>>>teacher who allegedly reported the matter to the Fire Brigade office in
>>>Brikama where some firemen allegedly subjected him to some beating and
>>>torture, which allegedly resulted in his death.
>>>
>>>His death was one of the reasons that led to a confrontation between the

>>>more than 14 school children and the maiming of several more as well as
>>>heavy destruction to property.

>>>The case was presided over Justice T.A Kabalata while the state was
