Jobe, you are spot on in your observation that there are some of us that hate Yaya so much that we will do whatever is necessary to eliminate him. Yaya forfeited his right to live/lead when he ordered the murder of our children on April 10 and 11, 2000. To say that I hate the vermin, is an understatement. I despise him with a passion. Moving on, it seems that you were pretty miffed by Prof. Assan's decision not to quit and leave G_L. Your calculations backfired. Assan has the commonsense to realize that evil will jubilate if he quits. I am glad you prove the point I was trying to make to Assan. Now that he has not quit, you are upset. Had he gone ahead and left the List, no one will hear the unkind words you were sending our end in this your post. So, I say: thank you Prof. for getting under Jobe's skin. Thanks Prof. for not letting the forces of evil celebrate. Instead, they have joined us in our hateful language. Jobe, I still cannot figure out why you think we are dictatorial and we do not want to hear divergent views. I assured you that even if you do not answer my mails directly, I will follow you all over G_L and debunk your lies and unmask your gullibility. I have kept my word. Before I debunk your lies, I have to read/hear them. We read you all right. What you want us to do and what we will NEVER DO, is accept your garbage as the gospel. We are open to hear divergent views. But if these views are lies, be rest assured that we will say so. Unlike you, we would not just stop at saying that the views are lies, we will show the whole world the magnitude of the lies. You seemed to take exception to the statements I made earlier on regarding APRC stealing projects from PPP. I would have thought that if you wanted to show that I was lying, you will tell us of projects Yaya authored. You just listed some recent projects and called me names, blamed Senegal for failure of our re-export trade, praise the APRC and insinuate that these projects were Yaya's ideas. I realized that you did not have the guts to say for certain that these were Yaya's ideas. You know that it would be a blatant lie if you say so. Why did you not challenge what I said, when I said it? Why did you not challenge it with facts and issues me and Hamjatta are not bringing to G_L? Was I lying when I said that the first AFPRC budget was a replica of the PPP budget Bakary Darbo prepared before Yaya and his cohorts stole power from a democratically elected government? This was one of my statements you took exception to. Have the integrity and the guts to come and debunk it directly. Do not hide behind other postings and hope that I will not read/hear you. When I said that AFPRC/APRC stole 'Vision 2020' and the 'Singapore of West Africa' concept from PPP, was I lying? The way you debunk this, is to tell us that these ideas are the brainchild of Yaya. Tell us whether Larry Ceesay or Bala Jahumpa invented these projects. Tell us that Famara Jatta authored these project proposals from scratch. You say we do not discuss issues apart from expressing hatred for Yaya. Tell us what civil servant or politician in The Gambia detected that Famara Jatta plagiarized a UNDP report in his last budget and promised donors some reforms he knows his government is NOT going to honor. Tell us who unmasked Hilo as a nickle and dime outfit in Georgia. Tell us who unearthed more facts about the callous massacre of our children ... G_L or the bogus commission of inquiry looking into the massacre of our children. Left to that toothless commission, the government security forces never shot a life ammunition. Jobe, you can try all you want, but you cannot belittle this forum. Your presence here and the extent to which you try (desperately) to peddle the APRC side of the story, is a testament to how YOU regard this forum as an important medium. Like I told your compatriot, Jarjue, no one is holding a gun to your heads forcing you to come to G_L and read our myopic and bigoted statements. The fact that you spend time to read and analyze our garbage shows that you are lying when you attempt to belittle this place and say that we do not discuss here important issues. Why can't you be honest with yourselves and engage people on the issues instead of character assassination of ordinary citizens that oppose child murderers? Be my guest and let us discuss your projects. Tell us Yaya's input and his qualifications. Tell us why you think a child murderer deserves the biggest honor in the country: the privilege to lead us and represent our country in forums such as the UN. Moving to the campaign in Britain, if I were you, I would not do like Sedat Jobe and start jubilating. The battle has just started. Britain will soon see sense and realize that it is only an 'Unethical Foreign Policy' that would permit a country like Britain to give military aid to child murderers. You missed the point when you just focused on the restoration of training programs. If you followed our campaign, you will realize that we were operating on the premise that the restoration of military cooperation will not be limited to taking recruits to Sandhurst. Top British military officials had gone to Gambia and promised Yaya that the restoration of training to Sandhurst was just the beginning. So, we are not just fighting the training. We want all sorts of military cooperation to cease. And we will succeed in our endeavor. The truth will always prevail. Even if we were just concentrating on the training alone, it is also justifiable for one to call for the cessation of cooperation in that avenue as well. The case has been argued on G_L months ago. But I will just restate for your consumption why we think Britain should not reward Yaya by taking people to Sandhurts. Do you know the last Gambians to attend Sandhurst training before Britain cut their military aid to Gambia? Find out who those people are and tell us how the professionalism they got from Sandhurst helped them to help our children on April 10 and 11, 2000. This military aid is not about helping Gambian soldiers to be more professional in order to help Gambians. We are smart enough to figure out a long time ago that all Britain is interested in, is to avoid British soldiers going to theatres like Sierra Leone. Their rationale is to train the Africans so that they can die for each other. 'Let us reserve our British soldiers to go keep peace in Kosovo'. That is all. Normally, I would not have a problem with such policies. Britain is merely looking after its legitimate interest; protecting its citizens. But the reason I have a problem with this restoration of military aid, is because Britain is trading the lives of their professional soldiers (that voluntarily took the risk to become soldiers) with the lives of our innocent and defenseless children. We all know that Babucarr Jatta and Peter Singhateh put Yaya's life above those of our children. No amount of training from Sandhurst will make Jatta or Singhateh protect our children at Yaya's expense. To conclude on this topic, let me just say that both you and Sedat Jobe evince a lack of understanding of the Sandhurst program and the crux of our protest if you regard this restoration of cooperation as a major coup. We know that the training our soldiers undergo there is a very basic training. Our protest is more principled than substantive. Child murderers should not be rewarded in any shape or form. That is where we are coming from. Engage us on these issues instead of picking personal fights with people that do not even know that you exist. If I did not know better, I would say that Yaya must be pretty upset with you guys for not putting forth his case effectively. But we all know that the moron cannot put forth his case by himself either. He does not have the wherewithal to tell whether you are making a dismal case or not. That is the whole case against Yaya and why you were upset about my characterization of your projects. The moron does not have the wherewithal to oversee inept civil servants, let alone bring novel and good ideas to the table. No Yaya crony can tell us why a low-life, confessed child murderer, High School drop-out deserves to lead us.
