SAUL, Knowing Baba Jobe the person he is ,I AGREE with you in totality.The UDP has to have a well trained self defense team to protect itself from this notorious and deadly man.Baba Jobe is a seasoned killer,trained in Libya and hired to Jammeh.For those who dont know him ,Baba was in Libya for about 15 years ,he went to the same institute with Kukoi and the other rebel who attacked the Farafeni Army Barracks.These poeple were sponsored and trained at the time only to overthrow the Jawara regime.Infact Baba was at one time arrested and detained by Jammeh while the later was the head of the millitary police and the former on a visit from Libya.Intellegence reports garthered by the then NSS showed how Baba and his Libyan based group had planned to overthrow the Jawara regime and so on his arrival in the Gambia he was arrested and datained only to be released later for lack of insufficient evidence to warrant his indictment.This is why Baba was the first (CIVILLIAN)invited and offered the post of an advisor to the then chairman of AFPRC and later a founding member and chairman of the infamous Libyan style July 22 Movement.Jammeh knew at first hand the hatred between Baba and the PPP Govt.and he knew very well too what Baba can do to re-establish the already strained relationship between the Gambia -Libya,which he has succeeded.The Libyan govt.had supplied Jammeh with arms and amunitions,food stuff ,loans and provided military training to over 80 members of the July 22 mov.These are the people now putting the knowledge gained from Libya into practice by way of ambushing the opposition,intidimating and eventually an all out war.SO for the opposition to sit down crying foul or calling on the international cummunity to intervene won't stop these monsters.Lets always remember the Gambia as at now has not much to offer the outside world and so they cared less.Take the April killings for example how many govts.came out openly to condemn Jammeh ,and how many are right now putting pressure for justice to prevail? I am not advocating for war but concur with all those who are calling for the opposition to build a self defense team to protect and defend when the need arises---tic for tac.These are the same thugs who forced their way in a workshop on local govt.reforms in mansakonko and threantens to kill Juwara .They are back again and if we dont stop them now ,the period now to the schedule election would be bloody. BY ANY MEANS THE MONSTER /CLOWN MUST GO REX ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
