Gambia-L: I am sending the e-mail below from a source in the Gambia unedited. Take note that it was sent to me yesterday. Ebrima Ceesay ___________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Outcome of Jammeh's visits to Liberia and Sierra Leone >Date: > >Ebrima, >As I write this message, Jammeh is on his way to Banjul after a two-day >visit to Liberia and Sierra Leone. The communique signed between the >monster of Kanilai and Kabbah is less than what Jammeh expected. According >to my sources on the ground in Freetown, Jammeh tried to convince Kabbah to >make no reference to the Lome Accords which would have provided the window >of opportunity for him to justify a "solo performance" in the peace >process. As far-fetched and unrealistic this approach appears to any >reasonable person, to Jammeh the opposite is just the case which is the >mark of a deranged man. He has convinced himself and his Foreign Minister >that The Gambia can broker the peace in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leoneans have >told Kabbah that they will have none of that and will not entertain the >likes of Jammeh and Taylor to be given a lead role in the process. The >reference to Jammeh's meeting between Alpha Oumar Konare and Eyadema in his >press conference in Freetown, the Butcher is trying to legitimise and to >give an atmosphere of respectability to his trip to the region for local >consumption. Well, we know better, including the Sierra Leonean Government >particularly Berrewa(Attorney General of SL) and Kabbah himself. As I said >to you yesterday, the authorities in Freetown have read the Gambia-L to >suppliment their own intelligence reports. Jammeh will come home, call a >press conference to impress the people that he is for peace. Unfortunately, >with the subsequent spin that Sedat Jobe and Fatoumatta Jahumpa-Ceesay will >most certainly put to the outcome of the trip, some unenlightened and >ill-informed people in Banjul will take this as yet another successful trip >of Yahya Jammeh. Fellow Gambians, please do not be fooled by what this >illegitimate Government tells you in the next day or two. Yahya is trying >to inject himself into the Sierra Leone peace process to legitimise his >ultimate objective of laying his hands on the "blood diamonds" as Charles >taylor is currently doing. I can assure you that Jammeh's days are indeed >numbered. Let us continue to be vigilant and focussed. Thank you. > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
