Gentlemen:
After watching this video, associating Jammeh's name on this same sentence with "he is not an idiot" is the understatement of the century. The man is a political genius and he is no doubt far ahead of these opposition politicians. Fair enough, he has the bully pulpit and they do not, but how one utilizes the pulpit and taking nothing for granted tells you how politically savvy one is.
For UDP, it is not enough to rely on that this is a reliable constituency, and they are well aware of Jammeh's misrule. There is a need to go right back to the same group, and ferociously debunk everything Jammeh said and how he has really played them. This has to be done in the same language, and debunk the traditional and religious nuances that he masterfully displayed. It is interesting that Suntou is
injecting that Jammeh is going after the UDP because the threat the party posed to the APRC. Here I see again bringing the issue back to competition within the opposition parties, futile exercise if you ask me and can only help one Man, Jammeh. It is not strategically smart at this juncture to focus in anyway the competition within the opposition parties, direct all energies to the APRC and bring the entire opposition arsenal with you to get it done.
If you do not think the Man has his Ducks in a row, think again. It was Brufut and then Gunjur and you do not think he is fully aware that these are constituencies that he has an uphill battle and needs to engage them early. I hate to say this, but Jammeh is way ahead of these politicians back home, and maybe he is lot more committed to winning than they are.
Sorry!

Buharry,I don't know what we'd do without you. You're just like friggin Ace.
You don't say much but when you speak, its bankable. Black gold. This
broadcast is long. I'm still watching it. I don't even know where to begin.
My first observation here is that Yahya is not as crazy as I had thought or
perhaps he is being rehabilitated as the years go by. The acquisition of the
Darbokunda clan of Gunjur netted him 4 other clans that I did not know
about. Baa jiki mentioned them but I forget... I think it is Bajo (Bayo)
kunda, Barrowkunda, (Buba, Sumaila, Sano, Bubacarr, Nga hakko boyalye. I
didn't friggin know we're fraternal clans with you idiots), Jatta kunda,
what da fu... I mean what a big mess.Anyway, I can't fault the Gunjur Darbokunda and their fraternal kundas
for choosing to be with Yahya ( I just wish they wouldn't say its APRC
they're going to). That is their democratic right, regardless of their
calculus. So I, Haruna Darbo, still consider BaNfansu, Gunjur Darbokunda and
all their fraternal clans to still be in UDP. Nobody fools me. I will
consider them to be with Yahya but still in UDP. They need to make that
clear in the coming days. Because if they corrected one mistake, they're
likely to have as many mistakes yet to be corrected. God forbid what they
call a correction is the vrai commission of a mistake. Yahya makes
me sick smirking, that knucklehead. Olfactor you think I'm a
knucklehead, you ought to watch this video. Men, how do these Darbos
and attendant clans know they are not making the mistake by joining Yahya??
I'm just saying. They said they have been in error all these years and
finally corrected that error by rejoining Yahya. Well how do they know
they were'nt right all the time and just now committed the error of their
lives??? I'm glad I'm not friggin related to them. Or am I?No wonder JDAM has been quiet. I think he is in shock. I mean am I
related to any of these people???So Suntou it seems like they were not forced or coerced into joining
Yahya. All indications are that this was voluntary. There may be an
undercurrent of intraclan disdains which we cannot readily discern, but even
if there were such, we cannot blame this positive choice on that. That would
have been cutting your nose to spite your face and if I know anything
about the darbos, they don't make silly decisions and they love life. Also,
Yahya himself admitted that the elder Jiki Darbo has been doing favors for
him long before he became President (Jiki used to own a gas station
where yahya benefitted from free Gas) and after 1994, Jiki was always with
APRC. It was his son Nfansu who was in UDP. I suppose Nfansu was
disenchanted with the lethargic UDP and he now considers his fortunes to
be with Yahya like Waa before him. I hope he didn't take his friggin
clues from the friggin Juwaras. Suntou, more than anything, this
ought to serve as a defibrilator for UDP. I think this ought to light a
match under you guys' feet. Vat is zis? Your base support is slowly but
surely eroding. Pretty soon you'll be like BuDois Sek. I'm not sure about
this Buharry. He was kinda quick in recording this video and he was
quiet all these years. And he brings us tourist pictures. You wouldn't
suppose Buharry is now APRC and I'm thinking he's BuDois Sek all this time.
I'm watching him. Veeeery closely.I stopped viewing when Yahya passed that blue grocery bag full of
something. I don't even know what that contained. Would that be the
$300,000.00 you mentioned???? From what I know, it is a quid pro quo
but these people don't understand what that means. I mean did you get the
context of this friggin meeting? These dinosaurs were talking about Njell
benn meeting, Sanawyaa, clanism, and all sorts of idiocy that does not
remotely conjure up quid-quo conscience. This made me sick just
watching it. They even made me pleased with Yahya for a moment. I couldn't
help but giggle at this idiot's story about "even the snakes of Gunjur
know he is developping Gambia, because instead of jaysliding like they're
used to, these reptiles spring to cross the kombo coastal road". Can you
believe Yahya can come up with such intellectual comedy????? I think
the Darbo intelligence is rubbing off him. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't
you share that Yahya cannot speak Mandingo??? This idiot?? I gotta admit I
did laugh even though I had my teeth clenched. I just don't know what to be
mad at. Probably because the idiots at GRTS wasted a whole friggin hour on
this propaganda at the expense of the conscientious Darbokunda of
Gunjur.I do admire the fact that Jiki suggested Yahya should not have gifted
any non-descript items. That he should have demonstrated his obvious
delight by just kolanuts. I mean how can Yahya be aware of no electricity
and no water for the community all these years and only promise to do
something about those after the people switched their allegiance,
and Yahya and the Veep idiot kept saying Yahya works for Allah and
the people and that he doesn't look at whether a community supports him
or not.I have to recover from my temporary insanity and come back. My plea
still stands that if it was $300,000.00 or any money in those cheap bags (a
la Wade), the Gunjur Darboes ought to return it somehow or forward it to a
community that will accept it. I hope JDAM can begin to talk before I go
crazy. I don't even know if he recognizes any of this crowd from Gunjur?
JDAM, are you awake?I must not forget to thank Buharry, APRC or not. I'll be
back later today. Haruna.

Subj: Re: Yahya Jammeh and the Great Gunjure Darboes:
Haruna, your objections to the sudden interest of Yahya in the Gunure
Darboes is understandable. What we have to bear in mind here is the
fact
that, Yahya's propaganda team invented a sophistigated lie in the whole
episoud. The truth of the matter is that, the Gunure Darboes don't
require
Yahya money/ They have been doing ok without hus dine. What he is doing
is
weaken the opposition further in a strategic town like Gunjure. His
elaborated machinery involved allwoing his alies to forcely take the
lands
of the Darboe kunda folks. Then he put his sinister plot in motion by
saying
that, the Jammeh's and the Darboes are cousins. This cousin-yaa became
a
fake relationship. he said the Gunjure Darboes has ancestry that is a
Duwajabo (there prayers are answered). They have a place were his cows
escape to, meaning he require their help. Anyhow, have to go. yahya is
a
dangerous creature. The moeny is unimportant here, it is his antic, how
can
the Darboes do away with his mafia interest?
