Gambia-L:

The e-mail below is more of a commentary from one of my sources in the
Gambia. I am sending it as received - unedited.

Jabou: Yes, you are right - the rains never stop in England!

Momodou Mboge: Thanks for the support!

>The temporary reprieve enjoyed by Yahya and his illegal government is over.
>As Prince Obrien-Coker prepares Part II of his article, Jammeh's supporters

>Secretary of State for Justice who has been extra-ordinarily quiet recently

>semi-literate imbeciles who lack basic intelligence, they will continue
>with their plan to rig next year's Presidential elections. Well 2001 will

>The role of the Gambia-L in ridding the Gambia of the APRC regime is now
>more important than ever. The campaign for international monitors must
>commence now as suggested by Dr. Saine, Dagmar, Jabou Joh and the German
>contingent.  Every one on the L must actively take part in sensitising the
>international community, including  but not limited to the Carter Center,
>National Democratic Institute, The United Nations Elections Monitoring
>Unit, The British Government, US State Department, to name just a few.  As
>dr. Saine said recently, democracy will not be delivered to us on a silver
>platter.  We must fight for it.  And there is no better starting point than
>to sensitise the above organisations and similar organisations of the need
>to have nest year's elections monitored by impartial international
>monitors.  Should the Jammeh government refuse to allow monitors, then his
>government will face the wrath of the international community and and
>uprising by the gambian people.  The days of the dictator is over in
>Europe, Asia and Africa alike.  For Yahya, who still lives in his fantasy
>world, he still plans to impose himself on the Gambian people, as he has
>been telling his dwindling supporters throughout his Meet the People's Tour
>which was a dismal failure.
>
>Ebrima's sources are appealing to all and sundry to start the agitation
>now.  We have been able to demonstrate adequate and expose the corrupt
>nature of Jammeh and his government over the past months and so we should
>now focus on agitation, canvassing the international community for a free
>and fair election which Yahya is bound to lose.  His unpopularity is at an
>all-time low and will continue to slide downward.  With your help, Yahya's
>government will be voted out of office come next year.  Let us enusre that
>there is a free and fair elections which can only be guaranteed by the
>presence of an international and local team of monitors.  The Carter center
>should be approach immediately by those who are more familiar with the work
>of the center and/or those who have direct connection with it.
>
>Together, we shall soon drive this monster, together with his blood-sucking
>apologists and followers out of our lives.

>As short note to the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy in The
>Gambia. We have commenced documenting the known atrocities and other
>criminal activities of Baba Jobe, Jankuba Touray, the Singhatey brothers,
>Baboucarr Jatta (GNA) and a host of others, including some civil servants
>(particularly at the Central Bank who have been accomplices in the
>siphoning off of our meager resources to foreign bank accounts). the story
>which appeared recently on the L from a gentleman in the UK concerning Rex
>King is highly inaccurate and we are happy that he was given a fitting
>reply from another member of the L.  As regards the order to shoot, the
>opposition has a copy of the tape from the original source which will not
>be devulge at this time. At the appropriate moment, the proof will be
>displayed before a proper court of law. Don't worry, we will get you as
>much information as possible through Ebrima. Thank you
