KB,

Is it me, or is there something amiss in this whole
"coup plot" business? Looks like Alagi Kanteh was
supposed to be the leader. The guy was a Captain in
the army, so one would assume he knows a few things
about security. Yet, from the US Embassy Guard -Ablie
Sanyang's "Cautionary Statement," rtd Capt. Kanteh,
just out of the blue asked him -someone Kanteh DID NOT
EVEN KNOW - whether he knows how to fire a gun, so he
can become part of the conspiracy to topple Yaya
Jammeh. Possible? Maybe.  Probable? I can't imagine.
Kanteh would have to be the biggest fool to talk coup
d'etat with people he doesn't even know. Did I miss
something?


On a related note, I understand that this Kanteh
fellow has always had a problem with the APRC's
lawlessness, for which he was once dismissed only to
be re-hired. I understand Modou Soma Jobe (Baabaa
Jobe's cousin) used to be his Deputy, but the two
couldn't get along because Kanteh wouldn't allow the
harassment of opposition sympathizers. That he was the
only Commissioner who declares publicly that he's
apolitical. Could this whole "coup" thing be part of
the war to get rid of him, and people considered a
thorn in the govt.'s side? I'm really stunned by what
is happening to Emmanuel Joof right now. Are these
people ever going to stop acting God? Will they ever
settle for anything less than the total subjugation of
ALL THINKING Gambians?

Good morning.

Saul.
