Dear Jasseh Conteh,

Thanks for the response. I do understand and appreciate the information that
sources in the Gambia are providing us, and the vital work they are doing,
and i would not jeopadize that for anything. I also do appreciate your clear
head, Conteh, you never let emotions lead you to rant and rave in an
irrational manner.

 I just thought that we might do a bit of investigating  regarding this
particular accusation. At any rate, it is best to concentrate on the more
important things, and more than ever, it is imperative that we stay alert and
not be diverted from our taks of exposing this regime no matter what
circumstance may arise.

I guess I am learning my lesson of not reading through every post on an issue
before making comments. I have made comments regarding the use of proper
languange on the forum because I was of the impression that this Baba Keita
used bad language and was therefore reprimanded for that reason. Who he used
it against is irrelevant.

 My comments are not meant to support Yaya Jammeh in any way, and I think
anyone who believes that of me must be deaf dumb and blind. I know Yaya knows
I am not his defender in any way, and I know Fatou Jahumpa knows the same. If
 she or "Keita"used bad language on this forum, my comments applied equally
to all of them. Despite any arguments, we must make sure that we maintain our
dignity and respectability by not using bad language, with special care being
undertaken  not to let others behaviours inspire us to do anything that
taints our character and renders this forum into a place where insults are
hurled. That is good common sense by anyone's standard, so let us not throw
away the baby with the bath water.

Simple message, anyone using bad language is not enhancing the respectability
of this forum, whoever they may be, and yes, the same standard should apply
to all. Simple standard, simple common sense.

 Sister Jabou:

 I know the person very well, and I do not think he would send me false
 information.  I deserve the right to not reveal the person's name.  This
 will cause some problems and the individual will never trust me.

 Also, there are a lot of Gambian civil servants who are providing us with
 valuable information about the trend of things in the Gambia.  Do you know
 that some anti-jammeh organizations within the US know when the dictator
 transfers money to international banks?  Jammeh's movements are watched by
 even his most trusted allies.  They are very useful to our plight.  They
 actually are fooling the dictator.

 Please let us not think that all of jammeh's cabinet members are trying to
 diffuse the opposition.  Some of them are secretly helping us.  I hope we do
 not overreact when the dictator is defeated.

 If you read today's Observer you will notice that Fatou Jahumpa is not
 pleased with the information we are providing the opposition.  I think this
 Alieu Keita might be Fatou.  There are similarities in Alieu's sentence
 structure and Jahumpa's.  If Yushupha Jow would reflect on the heated
 debates we had with Fatou on the Forum, he would realize that Alieu uses the
 same tactics.  Fatou Jahumpa has returned to the L and she is causing
 disunity within the opposition.  She knows what she is doing.  Please let us
 be careful in dealing with her.  She will try everything to bribe a list
 manager.

 I sincerely believe the story from my source.

 Naphiyo,

 Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
