Please, forward these few comments of mine to Mr, Camara, he who said that, Baba K Jobe was arm dealer. Please let us stop black mailing each other and focus on how to change the Gambia in to a better society (one nation one people) It has been one year now since Baba Jobe went to prison till then, people got arrested or killed, was that Baba Jobe, who forced those killers to go and kill? the answer to that is no!!no!!!! Point your finger to your leader not Baba Jobe, infact, Libya could not able to train anyone to be come a good soldier simply because they don,t have good soldiers themselves. I spent three years in Libya, from 1980/ 1983 befor i left for Israel.
Let us speak one voice and bring a new system in the Gambia, which will allow them to change their leader every 10 years, that will gualify Gambia to become democratic state.
Happy new year to you all. May God bless the Gambia and the Gambians
Thanks..
Yankuba Jobe
Mr.Jobe, below is a story published by the Point Newspaper, some years ago, on the atrocities committed by Baba Jobe. He uses these young Gambians, to the deteriment of the nation. These youths narrated how Jobe and the government uses them to possibly kill political opponents and silenced dissent. We are not here to write for the sake of writing. We publish facts and nothing but facts. Please read on...
Shattering Revelations against July 22nd Movement at Kiang UDP Rally
(culled from the The Point (Banjul) - March 24, 2001)
The most dramatic revelations were made during the UDP campaign tour of Kiang East in the villages of Generie and Kaiaf when two senior members of 22nd July movement defectors, Fabakary Kolior Camara and Lamin "Sierra Leone" Sanneh spoke of their activities whilst they were members of the movement.
At the UDP rally in Generie on Tuesday March 20, 2001 Lamin Sanneh alleged that during the last presidential elections, Baba Jobe mobilised over hundred 22 July movement members with a fleet of vehicles throughout Kiang to pull down the flags of UDP and photographs of the UDP presidential candidate, Ousainou Darboe and to further intimidate the population so as to force them to stay away from polling stations in order not to vote for the UDP presidential candidate.
Mr. Lamin Sanneh further disclosed that the movement members intercepted a UDP vehicle on the campaign trial from Kwinella going eastwards at Bumarie He said they destroyed the drums and forced the UDP campaign team to disembark and they commandeered their vehicle at gun point to join their convoy on their journey towards Kalagi Bridge.
The most interesting highlight of the Generie rally on Tuesday was when Lamin Waa Juwara, the UDP national organising secretary gave an account of his ordeal at the fateful Mansakonko Good Governance workshop.
The step mother of Fabakary Kolior Camara, Madam Nyokono Samura of Kiang Kolior village broke in tears and demanded for forgiveness from Mr.Juwara for Mr. Fabakary Kolior Camara.
The entire crowd including the UDP party leader Ousainou Darboe, chanted that they have forgiven those who have tried to mislead these young people for their own personal schemes.
Fabakary Camara who was in tears and the entire crowd shouted "Down with the APRC."
The meeting continued when Fabakary Kolior Camara took the podium and gave an account on how they were recruited into the 22 July movement He disclosed that they had their first formal training session in Janjanbureh at the Armitage Senior Secondary School in September 1995, when they had their first contact with some Libyans who were sent to indoctrinate them and screen them for graduation from the ordinary 22 July movement membership to the Action group membership.
He revealed that the Libyans withdrew a subvention for allowance and training when they discovered that more than half of those sent to Libya were not trainable because they were indisciplined and lacked commitment to the revolution.
According to Fabakary Kolior Camara, the July 22 movement was dissolved but the Action Group was maintained and renamed the APRC youth wing.
Fabakary K. Camara who was in tears also disclosed that they were ordered by Baba Jobe and Soma Jobe to go to Sibeto village in Kiang central to intercept Lamin Waa Juwara on his way to the good governance workshop when he was coming from Banjul to Mansakonko.
He categorically stated that they were given orders to assassinate Mr. Lamin Waa Juwara.
According to Mr. Fabakary Camara, the assassination team of the July 22 movement members that went to Sibeto spent the whole night in Sibeto but returned in the early hours of the morning to their headquarters in Soma, Lower River Division after they could not trace Mr. Juwara's whereabouts.
He said they had fresh instructions to disrupt the good governance workshop and to expell Mr. Juwara out of the Lower River Division (LRD).
Mr. Camara claimed that Lamin Kaba Bayo the then Secretary of State for local government, who was supposed to deliver the opening address at the workshop was privy to all the plans for the disruption of the workshop.
Mr. Fabakary Kolior Camara who was subbing further claimed that he was the first person that assaulted Mr. Juwara at the Good Governance workshop in Mansakonko.
At the end of the rally in Generie and Kaiaf, several reporters spoke to Mr. Lamin Waa Juwara who expressed concern for "the safety of these two young people who were misguided and have decided to break ranks with the July 22 movement".
Mr. Juwara further said that "Fabakary Kolior Camara and Lamin 'Sierra Leone' Sanneh are not ordinary defectors but people who knew everything that transpired in an earlier close door meetings".
Mr. Juwara however warned them not to disclose anything related to the Basse UDP ambush since the matter was before the court of law.
Mr. Juwara finally warned that "if anything happens to these young people either in the forms of assassination or disappearances, president Jammeh would be responsible."
