I do not see an embed code on the video. Is it on Youtube already? Please help. JDAM: Thank you for sharing. I am putting together a montage on the recently unveiled QGIG (Saudi King's investment in Islam) development called the Bijilo Forest Project (www.thegdp.org,Lighthouse,The Lighthouse Herald). I would appreciate it if you could kindly put together legal summaries regarding The Alimenta, Baba Jobe (YDE), and Jack Faal matters, and a summary of the extortion involved in the Hassan Touray Affair. I will weave them in with due credit. I do understand the religious undertones (Islamic Summit) of the Bijilo Forest Development but the article will suggest that even Islam does not desire to associate with such a convenient muslim as Yahya. Hopefully the Saudi government will come to realize how counterproductive this investment is to the fortunes of Islam and the good name of the Islamic summit. Thank you in advance.

I agree, but then Her Lordship disagrees with both of us, and the overwhelming majority of G-Post members. As indicated in the writeup forwarded by George, this is clearly a commercial dispute, and it must not be resolved in the criminal courts. This is not to rule out all criminal accountability, but it is hard to see how that should be the Gambia Government's first port of call. However, there are precedents and we should, to a degree, be fearful for what awaits Hassan Touray and his at-large co-accused. Although the ultimate outcome for previous cases with international dimensions, e. g., Alamenta, was good for the accused, the domestic cases resulted in real travesties. I am thinking here about the Baba Jobe case, and the relatively recent saga involving Dr Jack Faal. The first G-Poster to tell us the ultimate outcome in the Jack Faal affair gets a donation to US$5 to his/her opposition party of choice. I think "frivolous", in relationship to legal proceedings, is a rule of law concept. When a case, civil, or, criminal, with high political dimensions comes before a Gambian court, there must exist serious conscience and courage on the bench for an edifying outcome. Freedom Newspaper suggests Hassan Touray thinks his people can come up with the money for the outrageous US$1m+ bail bond. I am unsure about the wisdom of committing to such an apparently unconstitutional bail condition. Should Hassan disappear, even through no choice of his, the Government may proceed to forfeit the bail. Can you appreciate the potential duality of loss here? I guess Her Lordship is covering herself by effectively ensuring no bail is granted. In The Gambia of Professor Nasiru Deen, "frivolous" can be extremely costly. And so like YJ on a tangential matter, I am also "puzzled" LJDarbo --- On Fri, 6/5/11, Ginny Quick <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Ginny Quick <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [>-<] KIND ATT'N: Friends of Hassan Touray To: [log in to unmask] Date: Friday, 6 May, 2011, 1:28 [ This e-mail is posted to Gambia|Post e-Gathering by "Ginny Quick" <[log in to unmask]> ] Greetings all, OK, am I understanding this correctly? Pristine Consulting enters into a contract with the Gambian government, and then when the company seeks payment from the government for the said company's services, the government first begins arresting and intimidating the employees of said company, and then arrests the head of the company and brings up frivolous charges against him? Is this all because the government doesn't want to pay the money they agreed to in the contract? Or am I somehow missing something here? If this is the case, then it seems that the Gambian government has really sunk to another low here. I mean, my goodness, just pay the guy/company his money and move on.
