Binneh,
Thank you very much, for your good analysis. We need no permission from anybody to go on the rampage and expose TONY DAABAA / ARMUUMIN
to the whole world. He is a tribalist, armed thief and an armed murderer. He killed our brothers, children and dominate the lives and fate of a whole country harassing, torturing, intimidating, exiling etc. and our hypocrites are still asking us not to say anything. Binneh, don`t listen to them! Here in Sweden, we have
learned something called " Skitsnack " ( bullshit ), so when people say bullshit we ignore them and go on with our business. Let us continue to cry loud in all
the media houses, for the whole world to know that another Rwanda is in the making. Thanks once again for your wonderful job. Keep up the good work!
Elhadj Tapha.

ANOTHER RWANDA LURKING BEHING GAMBIANS!!
OPTV has already started a case file which sends signals to international bodies all over the world that,Yahya Jammeh The Gambia's president is brewing another ethnic conflict in this small West African Country. Another Rwanda is in the making! The scenarios are the same ie HUTU/TUTSI Feelings.Majority versus minority feelings feelings that are being provoked by one leader and his followers for political and selfish reasons.The politics is the same and the mentality of the leaders are the same.
The evidences presented are: Yahya's innauguration ceremony 2001 when he used a red Jola traditional hat to declare himself a president immediately after being sworn in by chief Justice Latey.The nocturnal dances that Yahya organises at his village every day have an underlying ethnocentric meaning.He projects those dances on national TV while other tribes are watching with anger.Journalists are obliged to concentrate on projecting the traditional displays of one tribe(being his) on national TV. These tribes men use matchets,knives and other things to show other tribes that they are spiritually powerful and that is appealing which is fuelling hidden reactions within other circles back home.
Yahya's FUTAMPAF dances are not encouraging they are instead a threat to others to see him as a powerful witch doctor.These powers he claims to have received through his ethnic lines and should not be displayed in the open.Is he president for all?
Why touch on people's heads and then recite incantation at Bakau stadium when Gambians know that such a practice invites tribal or ethnic feelings? Why doesn't Yahya invite other tribes and ethnic groups to display and then he sells that to the outside world as one Gambia.Research centers like the CODESRIA in Dakar and other bodies that specialise in such research programs have already filed their findings and their hypothesis point fingers towards The Gambia as a breeding ground of ethnic conflicts.
This is fermenting and the indications are all ripe and ready to explode.Today the UN is accepting blame for having ignored the same signals from Rwanda ten years ago!!! Usually people rely on gvts to protect its people and the very memos that were supposed to safe those who were being butchered in Rwanda within the UN building fell in the hands of the then gvt in Kigali.What happened they calculated their moves very well.First they killed ten "whites" the term they used for UN workers to destabilise the Rwandan society.When diplomats and western helpers plus other foreigners from Africa left the then Kigali gvt was happy and carried out a massacre.A massacre that history is comparing with the holocaust!!! Those who were killing in Rwanda used matchets,axes and believed that they had spiritual power.Today Gambians are seeing the same thing being displayed by Yahya.Yahya shoots himself in public and tells Gambians that he has bullet proof magical powers! Within Yahya's own eth nic group there are people who he sees as inferior because his own immedaitely family geneology are better when it comes to such magical powers.Yahya's myopic ethno! centric and paternalistic feelings are meant to provoke an ethnic conflict.Why would Yahya recall and use Kukoi Samba Sanyand and then deny Sara Janha to return to Banjul?
Gambians are pouncing on people like me telling us to keep quiet because we are avoiding a tribal or ethnic war?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be the last person to encourage that but if we watch Yahya succeed then we will also face a blame like those who are today being blamed for the Rwandan war.
Yahya's role in brewing an ethnic conflict is what made him fall apart with President Wade.The same feelings he is germinating in the Gambia are going to spill innocent blood very soon.Shiriff Diiba did well in paying tribute to the out going majority leader and then welcome honourable Churchill Baldeh.This can expedite the purpose because Yahya will certainly be able to show his tribal feelings on that.Gambians watch and see.
Yahya is brewing another Rwanda in Gambia.We will talk about that on every radio station now onwards.It is better to expose a tribalist or ethnocenctrists before he or she succeed than sitting around running away with flimsy excuses through infantile so-called intellectual perspectives.Yahya is encouraging the ethnic and tribal card and when people talk others simply tell you not to say so.He is a tribalists and records have shown it.OPTV does not need anyone's stamp or approval to expose these fearful signals so we have started spreading the word.
