Ever since Yahya Jammeh, UU (Untrained & Unqualified) took over the mantle of the Gambia government in July of 1994 by default; our dear motherland has undergone serious setbacks in every facet politico-socio-economic development. We have seen a Gambia, that once topped international charts on human rights and the respect for the rule of law to a Gambia whose inept leader transgress every law of the land and decency as manifested in his recent speech. A Gambia where all people coexisted peacefully irrespective of tribe or political affiliation is now transformed into a nation of discord and hatred. A nation known all over the world as the smiling coast of Africa to a society where kidnapping, torture, violence and executions have become the order of the day. Yahya Jammeh, UU, and his team of dis-advisors have embarked on a mission—to beget hardship and suffering on the Gambian people. In his six years in office, Jammeh hired and fired more civil servants than the accumulated sum of the 30-year rule of Sir Dawda Jawara. Permanent Secretaries, Secretaries of State, Ambassadors/High Commissioners and other civil servants are replaced more often by the moron as if they are his personal servants. Our Public Service Commission, once the model in the sub region, is reduced to a Temp Agency if not worst. Similarly, the National Assembly which is mandated by the populace to act on their behaves is nothing more than a “Rubber Stamp” legislature as eloquently stated by one contributor. There are a number of National Assembly Members (NAMs) who are living up to the expectation of the governed. To these NAMs, I say congratulations! And to those NAMs and civil servants who allowed themselves to be “prostituted” by the VIAGARA dependent, corrupt, translucent and despotic leader, the eyes of the world are on you. Gambians and the International community have underestimated what the ethnocentric schizophrenic is capable of doing. His plans include but not limited to rigging the forth-coming presidential elections with the help of the unconstitutionally appointed assistant commissioners and seyfolu, and the gang of terrorist. However, if he fails to win the elections, ladies and gentlemen, the maniac WILL NOT vacillate joining forces with the MFDC rebels to wage a war on the Gambia. We must rise up and contain Yahya Jammeh, if I may use KB’s line, BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY to avoid tribal atrocities. “Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere”--MLK Adios Pakaramo _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
