Gambia-L: The e-mail below came from someone I know very well who is actually a top Civil Servant. However, he is not one of my regular sources, but he had been reliable in the past. Ebrima ___________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: "Alieu S Keita" is Yahya AJJ Jammeh himself >Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 > > > >Ebrima, > >This may be of interest to you and the rest of the Lers, but make sure you >delete my name if you want to forward it to the L. A few days ago President >Yahya Jammeh subscribed to the L with his real name so that he can "debate" >with you guys on the L regarding the situation in the Gambia; but he was >advised by Sedat Jobe, among others, that it was out of protocol for him to >"engage" in public debates with you guys on the L. He was begged not to >send any posting to the L using his real name because that would be out of >order, protocol wise. President Jammeh then agreed with Sedat's advise, but >having agreed with Sedat's, he subsequently subscribed as "Alieu S Keita" >to debate" with you guys as I overheard him say to someone. So "Alieu S >Keita" is actually President Jammeh. From now on, anything you read from >"Alieu S Keita", be rest assured that it is Yahya AJJ >Jammeh himself writing. But please I beg those on the L not to discourage >him to unsubscribe from the L. We need his version of events even if he is >lying to us. And, Ebrima, just ignore him. Being on the ground, I can tell >you that you guys are doing a good job. So the pressure must be sustained. >Thanks > _________________________________________________________________________ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
