Now Daddy, I know you mean well, but how can you thank the Fire Saboteur for
setting the house on fire and when the heat is on, reality smacks him right
in the face to confront his demon and you call him the hero?  The garbage he
sent out was given back to him to eat, at a great loss to Gambians
businesses and those that eek out a living at the boarder.  Where is the
courage, leadership, Pan Africanism, etc. in the Senegalese making Yaya deal
with his stupidity?  If anything, Gambians should be convinced that the
starch head and those that surround him are not wired right.  They doubled
fees for practically every service government provides and sometimes twice
in the same year, thus they thought they can create another "Leku Kai" by
lapping the Senegalese Truckers.  Next would have been the Malians,
Guineans, etc. that he was going to abuse in other forms.  The Ghanaians can
testify to these abuses.  He has learnt a lesson in foolishness.  Guess
what, the Senegalese government now have a trump card that they can dangle
on us, when ever they do not like the way Gambians do things, even legally.
We have helped them loose their innocence with this boarder closure and from
now on, they will stick it to us, because it works.  All, thanks to our
Village Idiot.  The other day I ran into a friend from Senegal who reminded
me that "Wade Daafaa Foggu Yaya" (Wade gave Yaya a good ole but whooping).
My response, good for him and Gambians need to start doing just that our
selves.

Transport union boss applauds Jammeh
Written by Madi Njie
Wednesday, 26 October 2005
Daddy Sowe, president of the Gambia Transport Union has commended the
pan-African spirit of President Jammeh in resolving the two month long
border impasse between The Gambia and Senegal.
In an interview with the Daily Observer, Mr Sowe said President Jammeh’s
courage and leadership should be emulated by all African leaders in order to
attain the much talked about African unity.

He said despite being a young leader, President Jammeh has demonstrated good
leadership qualities by resolving the border impasse in the traditional
African way without involving a third party.  He said  normalcy returned
between the two neighbouring countries, after a joint communique was issued,
following Friday’s meeting between the two presidents.
“Many African countries are suffering and others recovering due to border
impasse and other related disputes and the way and manner our border impasse
was resolved is worth commendation,” he said.

According to him, since the signing of the communique, both sides have fully
cooperated by allowing the free movement of vehicles across the border
without any harassment.
“The Gambia shares many things in common with Senegal, and therefore, the
two states should engage each other in continuous dialogue to maintain
peace, stability and achieve socio-economic development,” he said.
