This is what happens where a head of state or commander in chief feeds a nation's soul with endless fabrications! It becomes a norm or a chance to excel under mediocrity. When we have Yahya Jammeh openly fabricating stories on TV he starts the dramma!  Years back he was heard  saying when Sanna Sabally and Saadibu Haidara came to over throw him in 1995, he stood up and twisted their arms only to be chained afterwards? This was totally false. He went ahead making the same fairy tales so what else should we expect from his colonels? We all know that was  A BIG FAT AND DECEPTIVE PRESENTATION for that matter. The story was aired on TV while Yahya the international fabricator was sitting in his zoo at the Banjul State house premises feeding camels! He was in a track suit wiping his sweating face with a small white towel. We all remember those lies on TV. Years later books,interviews and other revelations exposed Yahya as a continental carrier of falsehood and prevarication. In all that the same Yahya continued to compose more "sour" stories for our hungry people to be using as asbtract dinners everyday. These fabrications grew to bring us the cure of HIV AIDS,Diabetis escaped Demons etc etc. Well today what do we see again? The same Yahya the healer of all known and unknown diseases being silenced by the one he touched on last. Last on his list was diabetis which he said he could cure..right? Thats God He sent the same thing to Yahya thus making him understand that he is nothing but a hypocrite and a fabricator. Now this starts Yahya's end,mark my words.
 
On the GAF Parades outside? First of all,lets invite Lt Colonel Bojang to study the history of the Gambia Armed Forces  very well. This thread of establishing an army started in 1981/82 just after the foiled Marxist-Leninist Coup of Kukoi Samba Sanyang. President Jawara started the idea by introducing the Gendarmerie in collaboration with Senegal. This is when we had Lt Colonel Pathe Seck, Commadant Djiby Diop, Capatain Gaye Faye, and other do the job in Banjul. For those who not know Gaye Faye,he is the head of the Presidential guard in Senegal now. He is the one who is always in the blue gendarmerie uniform in lenses right behind president Wade where ever the old man goes. Hopefully Lt Colonel Bojang will  tell me the latter was not part of GAF from 1981/82?!  I know deep inside his heart that is what he believes in but let him just utter those words. If he does means discarding the biodata of Yahya Jammeh his commander in chief, Lang Tombong Tamba(for me that snail is not a general). and others. The Gendarmerie did more combat training than any unit had ever done on Gambian soil before anything else came. Who trained Yahya Jammeh himself? Colonel(then) Pathe Seck,Gaye Faye,Ebrima Chongan and others. Yahya will try denying Chongan that part but can he ever re-write Gambian history to be more specific the history of the armed forces? Even if one does not appreciate everything aboutChongan no one can ever deny him that bright of his life history. Fear God and say the truth period! If the gendarmerie is not considered part of that line then how could Yahya get to the Yundum Barracks directly from Fajara Barracks only to head the MP-Military Police? He came from Bakau to head that unit in Yundum! Other officers chose to serve as Police after the famous amalgamation(merging the gendarmerie with the Police). This was spearheaded by men like former Barracks commander Pa Sallah Jagne commonly known as "Press" Jagne. Where was Jagne coming from to head the then gendarmerie? From the Yundum Barracks of course. Now these soldiers in Bakau or Fajara Barracks and Yundum plus those in Kudang and Farafeni all know/knew "Press" Jagne. How could this man come from Yundum,head the gendarmerie if it was not part of the GAF and lead the place in an excellent way?  The same Gendarmerie and police are the "parent bodies" of the PIU Police Intervention Unit. The PIU is a bi-product of the two. Ask ASP Biran Mbaye and others!
Did Lt Colonel Bojang know that? Please ask Lang Tombong Tamba that snail-turned General to tell you the truth! Musa Jammeh the former head of the state guard who died months back was from the gendarmerie. Pierre Mendy currently in jail was from the gendarmerie. Even Bombardier has some faint connections along those lines. The former state guard commander under former President Jawara-now an Ambassdor in Iran Captain(rtd) Kaba Bajo was from the gendarmerie.
 
Now lets revisit the past and make a "good" misinterpreter out of Lt Colonel Bojang. Bojang you missed the facts so much!
The GAF has been parading in Dakar well before Yahya came to power. I cannot even imagine that Yahya Jammeh is allowing such unwise lies being said only to please him?
He himself knows thats a FAT LIE! How many former and present officers who passed thru the Fajara Barracks or gendarmerie went to attend parades in Dakar? Tell me. They are there even at the state house. Ask Sedia Danso and others?
Why try to hijack history when history is yet to be buried by your fairy tales? Why would you stoop so low only to please a deceptive commander in chief?
How many former gendarme officers were in the confederal force? Ask....you will BE taught and told. Ask that Modou Gaye serving in the police now? Ask him about the confederal force?
This is why we always warn Didi Halake to stop running his mouth when he is not even sure of what he is writing. There will be Senegalese men in uniform laughing at this. They know you are not right Lt Colonel. The Gambia Armed Forces started parading outside a long time ago. Please stop fooling yourselves.
