Gambia-L: The unedited commentary below came from one of my sources in the Gambia. Ebrima >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Yahya Jammeh: Give us a break on Taiwan > > >Ebrima, >Yahya slipped unnoticed yesterday into his State House bunker. The >embarrassing visit to the United Nations is the current topic of >discussions in Banjul with a lot of appreciation of the efforts of the >US-based groups from the people who have been following events as they >unfold. Thanks to all those who participated in the demonstrations in New >York. They have clearly demonstrated that together we can drive this mad >man out of power. His usual arrogant style is fast becoming a thing of the >past. He is slowly recognising the fact that people do not have respect >for him as a person nor do they have respect for him as President. His >corrupt practices have been exposed to the point that it is no longer news >in The Gambia. He has brought the Gambia to it lowest ebb ever. Yahya MUST >GO. In the past, after such a trip, he would convene a press conference or >call on GRTS to inform the people the outcome of his visit. Not this time >around. Instead what we got was an airport "press conference" in which he >tried to justify the content of his UN speech which was widely critised at >home and abroad for lack of substance and ill-focused. He justified his >call for the admission of Taiwan in the UN and gave reasons as to why the >international community continues to support the People's Republic of >China. (Sedat should explain to this ignoramus what the One China policy is >all about). According to the baffoon, China's membership in the Security >Council and her continued support by the big powers is mainly driven by >profit motive because of the billion plus population. What nonesense. >Yahya should tell the people that he is a hostage of the Taiwanese >Government who have bribed him over the years in exchange for his support >in international fora. He prefers advancing the interest of Taiwan and >Cuba than that of The Gambia. Gambians have come to accept that as a fact >and nothing can change it. Yahya has sold our country to the Taiwanese, >Cubans and Libyians and has put all the proceeds in his pocket. Gambians >have had enough of the Taiwanese case and we want no more of it. There are >extremely pressing issues facing this country which need addressing; >problems such as the economy which continues to perform poorly at the >expense of the ordinary person in the street. The tourism sector which has >been completely wrecked by the incompetent regime of Yayha Jammeh. Yankuba >has been appointed to drive the final nail in the coffin by announcing the >demolision of "unauthorised" beach bars erected mainly by struggling >Gambian entrepreneurs. To say that these beach bars are dens for drug >pushers couldn't be further from the truth. The den for drug pushers is >State House and Kanilai - a well known fact. Yahya Jammeh is the No.1 drug >pusher in the Gambia. Ebrima, what is sickening about the likes of Yankuba >and Yahya Jammeh is their hypocricy. They both participate in drug >trafficking, they both use drugs and they both push drugs. You should have >seen Yahya cutting sweat yesterday during his television appearance. We >must liberate the Gambia from these drug dealers and addicts at the next >elections, if not before.
