Gambia-L: The unedited e-mail below came from a source in The Gambia. George: Thanks for forwarding the photos. Monica Ceesay: Thanks for the swift response! My source: Someone called my attention in private that there was a story in the Point newspaper, in which it was reported that Baba Jobe attended an APRC meeting on Saturday.

According >to Tombong, Baba Jobe is in the Gambia, and has not gone anywhere. Well, >where then is Baba Jobe? He is not in Kanilai where he should be under >normal circumstances. The entire Jammeh government and supporters are >celebrating in Kanilai what is dubbed as the First African Cultural Week, >while Gambians are trying to survive the most devastating economic hardship >ever experienced in our history. Baba is not in Soma, neither is he in >Banjul. He was last seen coming out of State House last Tuesday and >subsequently disarmed at the instructions of Yahya. I know as a matter of >fact, that Tombong cannot authoritatively provide us with the precise >location of Baba Jobe and neither can the security forces, including their >boss Yahya. Besides, Tombong left Banjul over a week ago, for London and >Washington where he intends to spend the July 4 celebrations. If Baba is in >The Gambia, he must be in hiding, trying to make his way to Libya. Liberia >is now a "no go" area for now, because his brother, who was head of >security to Taylor, escaped from Monrovia two weeks ago and was in Banjul, >at least until a week ago. His whereabouts is also unknown at the time of >sending this message. STAY TUNED. REPORTERS HERE IN THE GAMBIA ARE >CURRENTLY TRYING TO VERIFY THIS STORY. > _________________________________________________________________________ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
