Gambia-L: The e-mail below also came from a source in the Gambia. Ebrima _____________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Are Asylum-seekers in Yahya's entourage? >Date: Sat, 09 Sep 2000 > >Ebrima, >Suspecting a large-scale defection of potential asylum-seekers amongst his >delegation, Yahya has retrieved ALL passports of members of his entourage >as reported earlier by the MRDG. The passports are under lock and key in >Yahya's hotel suite. They will be distributed at the airport tomorrow, >moments before boarding their flight back to Banjul. This is yet another >sign of insecurity and a lack of confidence in the people around Jammeh. >They have been known to be disloyal and self-centered. We have proof that >at least two members of his entourage have been in contact with relatives >in the US with a view to defecting and seeking political asylum. They >recognise that Yahya is piloting a sinking ship and they would rather jump >ship now than continue with a Government that has very little respect >inside and outside Gambia. The situation is being monitored for any >defections which is highly likely. > _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
