Gambia-L:

The unedited commentary below came from one of my sources in the Gambia.

Ebrima

>Subject: Yahya Jammeh: Give us a break on Taiwan

>Ebrima,
>Yahya slipped unnoticed yesterday into his State House bunker. The
>embarrassing visit to the United Nations is the current topic of
>discussions in Banjul with a lot of appreciation of the efforts of the
>US-based groups from the people who have been following events as they
>unfold.  Thanks to all those who participated in the demonstrations in New
>York. They have clearly demonstrated that together we can drive this mad
>man out of power.  His usual arrogant style is fast becoming a thing of the
>past.  He is slowly recognising the fact that people do not have respect
>for him as a person nor do they have respect for him as President.  His
>corrupt practices have been exposed to the point that it is no longer news
>in The Gambia. He has brought the Gambia to it lowest ebb ever. Yahya MUST
>GO. In the past, after such a trip, he would convene a press conference or
>call on GRTS to inform the people the outcome of his visit.  Not this time
>around.  Instead what we got was an airport "press conference" in which he
>tried to justify the content of his UN speech which was widely critised at
>home and abroad for lack of substance and ill-focused. He justified his
>call for the admission of Taiwan in the UN and gave reasons as to why the
>international community continues to support the People's Republic of
>China. (Sedat should explain to this ignoramus what the One China policy is
>all about).  According to the baffoon, China's membership in the Security
>Council and her continued support by the big powers is mainly driven by
>profit motive because of the billion plus population.  What nonesense.
>Yahya should tell the people that he is a hostage of the Taiwanese
>Government who have bribed him over the years in exchange for his support
>in international fora.  He prefers advancing the interest of Taiwan and
>Cuba than that of The Gambia. Gambians have come to accept that as a fact
>and nothing can change it. Yahya has sold our country to the Taiwanese,
>Cubans and Libyians and has put all the proceeds in his pocket. Gambians
>have had enough of the Taiwanese case and we want no more of it.  There are
>extremely pressing issues facing this country which need addressing;
>problems such as the economy which continues to perform poorly at the
>expense of the ordinary person in the street. The tourism sector which has
>been completely wrecked by the incompetent regime of Yayha Jammeh. Yankuba
>has been appointed to drive the final nail in the coffin by announcing the
>demolision of "unauthorised" beach bars erected mainly by struggling
>Gambian entrepreneurs. To say that these beach bars are dens for drug
>pushers couldn't be further from the truth. The den for drug pushers is
>State House and Kanilai - a well known fact. Yahya Jammeh is the No.1 drug
>pusher in the Gambia.  Ebrima, what is sickening about the likes of Yankuba
>and Yahya Jammeh is their hypocricy.  They both participate in drug
>trafficking, they both use drugs and they both push drugs.  You should have
>seen Yahya cutting sweat yesterday during his television appearance. We
>must liberate the Gambia from these drug dealers and addicts at the next
>elections, if not before.  LONG LIVE THE GAMBIA.
