And you have to keep it up!! >> >>Anyway, three big stories for you today. (1) There is >>currently a serious behind-the-scene diplomatic >>tension between the Gambia and Nigeria over >>allegations that the Gambia and three other unnamed >>countries in the Subregion, are actually fuelling the >>ethnic/religious tensions in Nigeria. The State House >>Imam is in the frame. >> >>Ebrima, the tension is such that the Gambia High >>Commissioner to Abuja was summoned to the Nigeria's >>Foriegn Office and told pointedly, Abuja's concerns >>over the issue. >> >>Nigerian intelligence said that the late Sani Abacha's >>cronies, including Yaya Jammeh, are still bent on >>destablising Nigeria, so that they can continue to lay >>their hands on that country's oil wealth. >> >>So, no wonder for the last two Heads of States Summits >>held in Abuja, Nigeria, Yaya Jammeh delibrately >>refused to attend, fearing, of course, that Obasanjo >>will raise the issue. >> >>Also, don't forget Jammeh was the first president to >>endorse the late Sani Abacha's demand that Nigerian >>dissidents, opposed to his (Sani) rule outside >>Nigeria, should be arrested whenever they visited any >>of the countries in West Africa. >> >>So, given the fact President Obsanjo was one of those >>people who were critical of Abacha at the time, Jammeh >>is therefore having a problem in facing him. >> >>(2) The President (Jammeh) has cancelled his planned >>trip to Senegal and Mauritania today Friday, following >>reports in Senegal that President Wade was not ready >>to receive him but instead a very Junior Minister was >>assigned to meet him (Jammeh) to discuss that >>country's border crisis with Mauritania. >> >>Yaya Jammeh, knowing the type he is, a laughable >>maron, wants to mediate in this crisis, but Abdoulaye >>Wade is treating him like a toddler. >> >>(3) For your information, it is not only Tamsir Jallow >>and Sulayman Massaneh Ceesay who are unhappy in the >>Jammeh camp, but even Edward Singhateh and a few >>others are also unhappy. >> >>I will send all their names later. Edward's problem >>with Yaya Jammeh is that he ( Edward) is very much >>opposed to the idea of the revival of the July 22 >>movement and turning them into an APRC's youth action >>group. >> >>He, Edward, believes that this will do no good to the >>Gambia's alreadly bad image. He is also opposed to the >>apparent hijacking of the regime by Baba Jobe and a >>few >>businessmen in the country. >> >>Now, Yaya Jammeh, because of the type of man he is, >>saw this act by Edward as a betrayal and for four >>months now, Edward Singhateh has not been receiving >>his usual or full salary. >> >>Instead, two-third of his salary is directly being >>paid to Yaya Jammeh to settle a loan that Edward was >>said to have taken from him during the transition >>period. >> >>The story is that there was a kick-back given to >>Edward following the recognition of Taiwan by Gambia >>as a State. All Council members in then AFPRC were >>supposed to be given some kick backs, in addition to >>the US$35 million dollars given to them. >> >>But the whole sum Edward got from Taiwan was never >>revealed to Yaya Jammeh and, upon realising this >>subsequently, he, Jammeh, urged Singhateh to pay the >>balance to him personally (Jammeh) in the form of a >>loan. >> >>And Edward started to pay Jammeh, but when Edward >>could not qualify for the vice president post because >>of his age at the time, Yaya Jammeh symphathised him >>and told him to "forget the repayment of the loan >>thing". >> >>Now, Edward has since been asked once again by Jammeh >>to pay him back, and Edward is paying him because Yaya >>Jammeh sees him (Edu) as a betrayer. So something is >>brewing between these two men, and this is why you >>guys on Gambia-L should continue the pressures. >> >>By the way, I was very angry with you the last time, >>in your argument with Edi Sidibeh, because you nearly >>revealed your sources. >> >>Don't mind these jesters! They are only trying to >>deviate the real issue. Anyway, I have now forgiven >>you because you have upgraded (laugh). >> >>Thanks! >> >> >>__________________________________________________ >>Do You Yahoo!? >>Yahoo!
