Lawyer  Darboe And Hamat Bah Disss Each Other At The Raleigh Conference!

The Raleigh unity conference heard on Saturday that Ousainanou Darboe, the leader of the United Democratic Party has once groomed Hamat Bah, the leader of the National Reconciliation party NRP to replace him since he Darboe is getting old.  But Hamat Bah never accepts to join the UDP, Darboe told the conference. Mr. Darboe, who went into brief heated exchanges with Hamat Bah, following Bah’s claims that power struggle and the growing passion for leadership has killed opposition growth in the Gambia, said Hamat Bah’s allegations are false and completely unfounded.  Mr. Darboe said he never wanted to discuss the private conversation he had with Hamat Bah, in his office in the presence of his party Deputy leader Yahya Jallow, but stated that Hamat refused to join the UDP when he groomed him for a possible succession in the foreseeable future. Darboe said due to his old age, he wanted Bah to join the UDP so that once he steps down, he can take over the mantle of leadership from him.

Pa, This is The Soldier again. Permission to write and I know it is granted. Pa, did The Soldier not say that dictator Jammeh will never change. Dictators don't change. They pretend but they cannot. This past week dictator Jammeh went wild on GRTS that he will demolish people's properties by the beach. Guess what, he gave directives and his officers are demolishing people's properties. Pa, this dictator owns so much land by the beach and he is not going to demolish his but others. Is this fair GAMBIANS, why can't dictator JAMMEH demolish the fences he erected by the beach. Fellow GAMBIANS and he went on TV saying that he will do it and nobody will stop it. Dictator Jammeh is using power but power belongs to the people. Pa, this is just the beginning, believe The Soldier he will take peoples hotels and properties by the beach. Dictator Jammeh is starting at Sanyang but he is eying other hotels and properties by the Senegambia area. Time will tell.

Findings published in The Lancet can guide prevention, treatment and research on diarrheal diseases, which claim the lives of 800,000 children annually

BASSE, 14 May 2013 – A new international study published today in The Lancet provides the clearest picture yet of the impact and most common causes of diarrheal diseases, the second leading killer of young children globally, after pneumonia. The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) is the largest study ever conducted on diarrheal diseases in developing countries, enrolling more than 20,000 children from seven sites across Asia and Africa. GEMS, coordinated by the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Center for Vaccine Development, confirmed rotavirus – for which a vaccine already exists – as the leading cause of diarrheal disease among infants and identified other top causes for which additional research is urgently needed.

The London 2013 Congress

By Seedy Ceesay

On Saturday, May 11, 2013 in the borough of Kentish Town in London, Gambians in large numbers came together to grace the first ever Gambian Congress ever held in London in the United Kingdom.  The aim of the Congress was to unify all organizations within the UK standing in opposition to the outrageous governance and human rights crisis in The Gambia for the last 19 years under the dictatorship of Yahya Jammeh. The first order of business was in agreeing to the purpose of this nascent organization whose establishment was first proposed earlier in the year at a meeting in London. At that first gathering, the attendees understood the need for this umbrella organization to begin its work and the passion for this purpose was rekindled last Saturday at The London Congress. Attendees were Gambian men who came from all over the UK and gave representation for their respective communities giving opinions for each of the stakeholders’ points of view. 

As Ben Jammeh Absconds, The Gambian Army Says They Will Not Defend Jammeh In the Event Of An Attack!

By OFFICER X,

Mr. Mbai,

First of all congratulations for all the efforts in pressurizing Jammeh to release Baba Leigh. The only language he understands is arrogance because that’s how he is. The struggle is winning. Pa, lot will be happening in the next few weeks. Ben Jammeh’s absconding is just the beginning of many more to come due to the continuing anger and dissatisfaction with Jammeh and his system by the security. Don’t be surprised if many senior service personnel soon leave because no one trust the system anymore and everyone sees fleeing the monster as the only way out. Even though some may not be able to go because of what they did, those who have the chance will all flee one at a time. Ben Jammeh is a credible witness in any case that may be brought against Jammeh in the drug trafficking business that the US or UN may indict him on including the General Boubu’s case.
