Gambia-L: The unedited e-mail came from a source in the heart of the Government. KB: Thanks once again for your excellent piece. Ebrima ______________________________________________________________________ >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: I stand by my story on City Limit FM >Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 > >Ebrima, >I have stood by all the stories I provided to you. I am not involved in >speculation, and I verify ALL my stories before passing them on. I >expected this type of reaction coming from those collaborating with the >treacherous regime of Yahya Jammeh, and this Radio Station is just one of >them. You remember when I revealed the HILO case, "Sir Alan" was not only >vehement in his denial of any association with the regime of Jammeh in >their attempt to cheat the Gambian farmers but went the extra mile of >threatening the lives of those involved in exposing him and his Company. >As I write this response, the farmers of Fass, who have been promised >payment for their groundnuts on Thursday 4th of January, are still waiting. >HILO has not produced one single penny since their initial "investment" of >$3 million which went mostly to buying vehicles, minimal repairs to the >Denton Brigde facility and salaries to staff, including "Sir Allan's". > >The members of the L are too sophisticated to be taken by these petty >denials. These are just distractions. The membership are used to these >reactions coming from those who are proping the Jammeh regime. We are >however determined to expose every single one of you. > >At least Abdou Karim Sanneh was honest enough to say that the "only support >from the Government" he is aware of was "the provision of a >license under the name of City Limited.".. We heard similar claims in the >HILO case, only to discover the biggest rip-off the Agricultural sector has >ever seen. > >Abdou Karim Sanneh's reaction unwittingly confirmed the intimate >association of City Limits with Yahya Jammeh because of the fact that those >so-called rap groups that the station has already contacted/targetted for >promotion, are themselves beneficiaries of the "benevolent one" (to borrow >Dr. Madiba Saidy's characterisation of the Butcher of Kanilai.) They are >being sponsored by Yahya Jammeh, playing Yahya Jammeh's instruments, >singing Yahya Jammeh's praise, and dancing to Yahya Jammeh's tune. > >The selection of Abdul Aziz Willan is also quite revealing. For the >information of Abdou Karim Sanneh, Aziz was recommended by Cherno Bogal and >his leading "talubeh" in the civil service who will remain nameless for >now, to Yahya Jammeh. I need not go further as everyone knows the >relationship between Cherno Bogal and Yahya Jammeh. I rest my case and I >stand by my story. The truth will always prevail. > _________________________________________________________________________ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
