Gambia-L:

The unedited e-mail below came from a source in The Gambia.

George: Thanks for forwarding the photos.

Monica Ceesay: Thanks for the swift response!

My source: Someone called my attention in private that there was a story in
the Point newspaper, in which it was reported that Baba Jobe attended an
APRC meeting on Saturday.

>Tombong Saidy did not deny my report about Baba Jobe absconding.  According
>to Tombong, Baba Jobe is in the Gambia, and has not gone anywhere. Well,
>where then is Baba Jobe?  He is not in Kanilai where he should be under
>normal circumstances. The entire Jammeh government and supporters are
>celebrating in Kanilai what is dubbed as the First African Cultural Week,
>while Gambians are trying to survive the most devastating economic hardship
>ever experienced in our history.  Baba is not in Soma, neither is he in
>Banjul.  He was last seen coming out of State House last Tuesday and
>subsequently disarmed at the instructions of Yahya. I know as a matter of
>fact, that Tombong cannot authoritatively provide us with the precise
>location of Baba Jobe and neither can the security forces, including their
>boss Yahya. Besides, Tombong left Banjul over a week ago, for London and
>Washington where he intends to spend the July 4 celebrations. If Baba is in
>The Gambia, he must be in hiding, trying to make his way to Libya. Liberia
>is now a "no go" area for now, because his brother, who was head of
>security to Taylor, escaped from Monrovia two weeks ago and was in Banjul,
>at least until a week ago. His whereabouts is also unknown at the time of
>sending this message. STAY TUNED. REPORTERS HERE IN THE GAMBIA ARE
>CURRENTLY TRYING TO VERIFY THIS STORY.
