>Ebrima,
>Suspecting a large-scale defection of potential asylum-seekers amongst his
>delegation, Yahya has retrieved ALL passports of members of his entourage
>as reported earlier by the MRDG. The passports are under lock and key in
>Yahya's hotel suite.  They will be distributed at the airport tomorrow,
>moments before boarding their flight back to Banjul. This is yet another
>sign of insecurity and a lack of confidence in the people around Jammeh.
>They have been known to be disloyal and self-centered. We have proof that
>at least two members of his entourage have been in contact with relatives
>in the US with a view to defecting and seeking political asylum. They
>recognise that Yahya is piloting a sinking ship and they would rather jump
>ship now than continue with a Government that has very little respect
>inside and outside Gambia.  The situation is being monitored for any
>defections which is highly likely.
