Gambia-L: The unedited e-mail below came from a source in the heart of the Government. Ebrima ________________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Abu Kassama and Buba Samura refused by Yahya Jammeh even in death >Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 > >Ebrima, >Yesterday was a sad day indeed for the entire Gambian people after the >tragic death of the five UDP supporters, including the two National >Assembly Members, Abu Kassama and Buba Samura. However, it appears that >this sadness or pain is not shared by Yayha Jammeh because following the >decision of the Speaker of the Assembly and members of all the political >parties, including Tamsir Jallow, as Majority Leader to lay the two fallen >MPs in Parliament, they were over ruled by Yahya Jammeh at the Airport on >his way to Taiwan. > >The Speaker, together with ALL Members of Parliament are angry, disgusted >and saddened by Jammeh's continued vindictiveness even in circumstances >involving the death of Members of Parliament. So how can someone on >Gambia-L continue to tell us to forget our political differences when the >person who should lead the way continue to treat Gambians like dirt? > >As a result of Jammeh's decision, the two bodies of the MPs are in Dr. Jack >Faal's hospital morgue where there is at least some ice to preserve the >bodies of these Honourable Parliamentarians until tomorrow so that they can >be buried in dignity. Had it not been for the dictatorial behaviour of >Yahya Jammeh, Abu Kassama and Buba Samura's bodies would have laid been in >Parliament on Monday and given the honours due to MPs regardless of party >affiliation. Since they have been denied this, their bodies are in storage >for an extra day just to be buried without State honours. SHAME ON YAHYA >JAMMEH AND ANYTHING CLOSE TO YAHYA JAMMEH. > >On other matters, APRC has now opened a Radio Station under the Management >of Abdul Aziz Willan to counter Citizen FM and George Christensen's Radio 1 >FM. The station is four days old, so there are many Banjulians who are not >even aware of its existence yet.News Flash Secretary General Dolly Joiner >is to be replaced by Mama Kinsa Jawara. Ebrima, the country has really gone >to the dogs. So long. > _________________________________________________________________________ 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 and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
