>Ebrima,
>I reported yesterday that Cheyassin called up a meeting of his "green"
>laywers to press on the case to have Ousainou Darbo and the leadership of
>the UDP remanded in jail. Well, Ousainou and his supporters are in Court
>this morning. The size of the crowd and the vehicular traffic deemed it
>impossible for me to get close to the Court House. So, I will be patiently
>waiting for the end of the Court session to be able to inform the L and the
>world of the outcome.
>A top security/army officer told me late last night that should Cheyassin
>and the Attorney General's Chambers continue to press this case and succeed
>in putting Ousainou Darbo and members of the UDP behind bars, then there
>will be "action". When I pressed him for elaboration of what he meant by
>"action" and from which quarter, his response was "I am not free to say and
>I hope you understand." I said to him:I do understand. I am extremely close
>to this particular security/army officer.
>I will try to get in touch with you once I receive some concrete
>information on the outcome of this morning's court appearance by Ousainou
>and his supporters. Meanwhile, Ebrima, the Kanilai butcher
>Yahya is feeling the heat even in Kanilai. So, please, there should be no
>letting up at this point. I just saw Saul's posting regarding the visa
>application of Zainab and her entourage to enter the US. He is right; there
>is a hitch. What Yahya and his gang of thieves fail to realise is that The
>Gambia is being treated as a pariah state/a terrorist state. So,
>henceforth, every and all visa application coming from this regime will be
>scrutinised and rejected if necessary. The baby shower may have to be put
>off because the current information I have is that the Americans will not
>issue her a visa since they know she is pregnant and would want to deliver
>Paul Sambou's baby in the US. The visa that she may be issued with is a
>short-term one to make sure that she gets out of town before she delivers
>baby "Sambou" on US soil.But the way things look, she might be denied the
>visa afterall.
>I continue to remind you that "these people" will have no place to hide.
>First the bees, then amongst themselves; and yesterday at the Roots
>festival in Kanilai, one of the ritual dancers, I don't know the local
>name, knifed or shot himself accidentally. The "TUUL" failed to work. Now
>the US visa consellor has joined the fray. They will get it from all sides.
>IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND THE CONTINUED RESISTANCE OF THE GAMBIAN
>PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY MAY BE. So long for now. I have been promised the list
>of the people targeted for "elimination". I'll send it when received. I
>also have additional information on Lt Lalo Jaiteh and others which I'll
>send later.
