The following message came from a friend. I think it is another chapter of Mr. Jammeh's scandalous speech at the State House. ========= Hamadi, How are you doing? I was surfing qanet and saw this devastating message of Jammeh's and think it should be shared. Salam to you ===================== Jammeh's Warning To Radio Gambia "There is a lot of complaint about Radio Gambia. All Gambians are complaining about Radio Gambia. My broom has not yet arrived there, but do not think it is not on its way. It is on the way. A lot of things you say, what ought not to be said; in Jawara's era what you would not dare say, now is what you broadcast." So said President Yahya Jammeh. He was speaking recently at a meeting with APRC youth wing members at State House. "Bilai walai talai, when I'm ready for you, many will forget their jobs. And they won't work again. You are getting out of hand. I know all of you. I know the good guys from the bad elements. But let's wait for the July 22nd celebrations to go past…"If you do not like me, go and attend to your business. If you do not like the government, shun everything government; do not take even the salary; go and attend to your business. Good citizens will step in and do the job." He continued, "wherever you are, if you are not straightforward, know that your time is not yet up, but it will be up one day. The day your name reaches me, on that day you will pack, bilai walai talai, however learned you may be. Bilai walai talai…when I Yahya Jammeh sacks you, the whole world sacks you." Degree holders "Well, degree holders are around among those I have sacked. Up to today they have not got …- as happened twice before, Jammeh here uses the four-letter word. "Some are even afraid to walk the streets, even with all their learning. Bilai walai talai…if I sack anybody in this country, you go to all the four corners of the world, you won't find even a job, bilai walai talai. "You find out. I do not sack someone just for nothing. And when I dismiss you, you know from that day on that your world is destroyed. Whoever I dismiss, you know your world is completely destroyed. Because you did something; you betrayed the nation. Whenever you betray this country, when I sack you, you become God-forsaken. Therefore, let us beware!" Fitna Kafo "Whoever, wherever you are, stay away from FITNA KAFO" – what president Yahya Jammeh has characterised as groups or gatherings of people prone to or engaged in trouble-making. "Because what we intend is that whoever wants trouble, we too are prepared for trouble." "This," he told his audience, "is the sort of language some human beings understand; so you deal with them in this fashion." "If you want peace we will give you peace; but if you want trouble we put masibo (disaster) on you. So if you do not want masibo, keep away from trouble; do not go near it. If you go near it, you will see what befalls you." 'Hypocrites' Jammeh said the hypocrites have said that after the recent APRC and UDP fight (near Basse in URD), in which the UDP allegedly killed an APRC militant, the government must not put its mouth in the matter – should not interfere or get involved. "These people went, seized an alkalo and beat him up, and left him for dead. The white people went up to the place. Up to today they have not said a word about that incident. With all their hypocricy, and talk of human rights, they have not said a word. We know their hypocrisy!" "Now they say, the APRC-UDP have fought; an APRC member was killed; the government must observe the rule of law." "In a UDP-APRC tussel and the APRC decides to go in for a real fight - the next time there is trouble, the whole world will see what happens. Bilai walai talai…such nonsense is over. We ask all Gambians to take note," he vowed. At this point, president Jammeh told the GRTS staff present to cover the meeting that "you must broadcast all that I have said. Whoever cuts anything out, tomorrow you will forget your job!" ________________________________________________________________________ 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 You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
