"The police however assured the public that there is no cause for alarm, as the situation is under control." Yes indeed, the situation is under control, for it is staged, managed, and directed by the head of Murder Inc. At least the fool promised that much to Gambians and he is delivering. The question is, what is the population doing about this madness? Instead of standing up and run these rouges out of town, we are busy praying harder or fighting for the number one spot of appearing to be the hardest of the hard core against coups. I see our opposition politicians, religious leaders, Union leaders, etc., all lining up to denounce "The Coup", when all of them know that this is no coup or coup attempt. Look, if you can't speak the truth because of fear, or are afraid that you will be falsely branded a conspirator, then the honorable thing to do is to stay silent. However, to lend a voice in the endorsement of this summary round up of folks to be slaughtered or tortured, is uncalled for. Gambians know that those in custody are being tortured or subjected to inhumane treatment, why don't these so-called voice leaders speak to that? They know that these folks are being starved to death, why don't they protest against that? They know that a Kangaroo TV trial is not the law of the land, why don't they speak or protest against that? They know that Yaya fabricated this coup, why are they mute to that? Thus, the hypocrisy that is our signature when ever Yaya abuses our collective. Remember the April massacre and Maim, these same crop denounced the students for loss of Property and to this day, zilch came out of it. When Deyda was murdered, these same crop were the ones that preached or lied about it being ordained by God, and on and on. "We urge the authorities to find Deyda's killers", who are we kidding? If we are waiting for Murder Inc. to find catherosis and tell on themselves, then I have an ox to sell on the moon, any takers? It seems to me our population is held hostage by those that purport to lead them. The masses want to do something about these abuses, but those that head them do not have the will nor the courage to say enough is enough. If Gambians both home and abroad stand up, we can stop this madness today. However, those that are supposed to be the conscience of the grassroots are incapacitated by their own fears, real or imagined. We have two choice folks. We either do something about our condition, or we do nothing. As long as we choose to do nothing, then reason dictates that not a darn thing will change, but for the worse. So, where ever one may be, let us each continue to mind our business or focus on feeding our families and see if religion is going to get us out of this. In weeks to come, this will be all forgotten and Yaya knows that. Chi Jaama Joe 5 COUP PLOTTERS ESCAPE Written by Ousman Darboe Wednesday, 05 April 2006 Five of the suspected March 21 coup plotters are now thought to be on the run after escaping from a vehicle that was carrying them to the Janjanbureh Prisons, Central River Division (CRD). According to a statement issued by the Office of the Inspector-General of Police last night and signed by ASP A Bojang, Police Public Relations Officer, the escapees are Mr Daba Marena, Lt Ebou Lowe, 2nd Lt Alieu Ceesay, Warrant Officer Alpha Bah, and Staff Sergeant Manlafi Corr. The statement explains that the five suspects fled when the vehicle slammed into a ditch and almost somersaulted. The police have therefore urged the general public to volunteer any information that will lead to the arrest of the fugitives. They also remind the public that it is a punishable offence to harbour or render any assistance to the fugitives. The police however assured the public that there is no cause for alarm, as the situation is under control. いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
