Gambia-L: An open letter that came from one of my sources in the Gambia. I am again sending it as received: unedited. Ebrima PS: My source, for sure, I for one will react to the Letter of Intent in the third week of August when my home computer would have been connected to the Internet. It is a shame that I can't spend a longer time on the Net these days. In fact, I haven't yet read the Letter of Intent. _____________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: An Open Letter to The Gambia-L >Date: > >Ebrima, >This message is addressed to ALL members of the Gambia-L. Mori Kebba Jammeh >has provided you with the Letter of Intent of the Jammeh regime to the IMF >which can be accessed from the IMF web site. Please study the letter >carefully and discuss it thoroughly for the benefit of the Gambian people >and the internatonal donor community. The multiple face of Yahya Jammeh and >his Government is being displayed live for every one to see. What is >certain is that even the Vice president of The Gambia is not aware of what >goes on in this Government much more the lesser cabinet members. I am >throwing out a challenge to Hamjatta, Dr. Saine, Dr. Katim S. Touray, Kebba >Dampha, Ebou Colly, Ebou Jallow, Saul SaidyKhan, Saul Mbenga, Amadou Kabir >Njie, Comrade Jassey-Conteh, Bamba Laye, Gearge Sarr and your good self >Ebrima, together with the rest of the membership to disect the letter piece >by piece to appreciate what Ebrima's sources have been trying to say for >the last several months. This Letter is too important to attract side >comments and full stop. I will contribute to the discussion in the coming >weeks and months as promised. As I said, most if not all of members of >Cabinet are seeing this letter for the first time. It is as much a surprise >to them as to you and me. So please, I am appealing to all of you to >carefully study its content and tell me that this Government is truely a >legitimate one. This Government, in my book, is a rogue Government that >lies to its people and to the international community about the true state >of affairs in our beloved country. I only hope that ALL of you do justice >to the letter. Look at what they say about the agriculture sector, look at >what they say about the GGC, look at what they say about the domestic debt >and the arrears to parastatals etc. etc. Let us focus on the issues raised >in the letter to the IMF, try to reach some form of a consensus and decide >how to go from there. The Commonwealth Secretariat will certainly hear from >me through Ebrima. The IMF will also hear from me through someone closer to >Washingdon DC. Let us get moving on this one as we have done in other >matters of national concern. LONG LIVE THE GAMBIA. > ________________________________________________________________________ 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
