Mr Non Grey-hair critic, Yero Jallow (Dalton) got it all wrong!

By Yankuba Darboe LLB (Hons)

What Mr Dalton Yero Jallow, the non grey hair man I suppose, is claiming in his reaction to both my article and Mathew K Jallow’s, is that which we have been hearing over and over again from the new NADD and its cult followers like him for a long time. They want us to believe that socialism and not democracy should choose the leadership of NADD. So that every one is equal in NADD and from then on, we can negotiate who leads the party, the comrade style of selecting a leader. Mr Dalton or whoever you called yourself, Gambia is a democratic state and not a socialist state. We choose our leaders not by negotiation but by the majority. This is where your socialist NADD became confusing to the United Democratic Party and NRP.

in order to beg the Ex Director General of the G.P.A to back and serve in
his capacity because he knows that the present D.G is not fit for the Job
just like the current DG of GRTS.

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh'-Tumbul Tamba,Lang Tombong,Solo Bojang,Sintet group of Killers.
Thursday, August 10, 2006 (958 reads)

The Sintet group kills for President Jammeh. Is Major Bajinka all that innocent?

There is what is commonly known as the Sintet Group around President Jammeh. Some call them the Sintet Gang. The current chief of staff Lang Tombong Tamba is the head of the gang in all respects. He plays the cool boy styles in the open but deep down serves as their cover. Lang Tombong Tamba and Tumbul Tamba are both from the same family Kabilo in Sintet. Tumbul Tamba is the head of the Kanilai guards these days. He is said to be much more wicked than Musa Jammeh or Maliyamungu,then one can imagine the level of wickedness in Tumbul's heart. Of late he has been compensated with a new compound(the location will be revealed) for now I am leaving it out as a bait. Tumbul was compensated with that new house,a new car and huge amount of money. It is said that Tumbul was so active during the torture sessions when the so-called coupists were apprehended so Prez Jammeh is happy with him! Him Tumbul killed Daba Marenah alongside Musa Jammeh and Solo Bojang. These are the very people who killed Deyda Hydara alongside Major Kalifa Bajinka according to my reliable source.

Thursday, August 10, 2006 (644 reads)

Former SOS and former IEC Officer Saul Mboop owns the plot of land in Yundum-NIA Training School.

The plot of land on which the NIA Training School is located at Yundum belongs to Mr Suleiman Mboop former SOS Agriculture and former IEC officer. A reliable source I spoke to informed me that Suleiman Mboop after all did sign a contract with the Defence Ministry or NIA to be more specific ie to rent the location to the latter. This plot of land is currently being used by the NIA as a training ground. Infact the same source informed me that Mr Mboop was reluctant to sign a renewal of the contract when the first one expired. The contract according to my source is for a period of ten years(the renewed version).

Shame on to Vice President Isatou Njie Saidy- Is she trying use the army to kill our sons as she did on the April 10 student massacre?

VP Njie Saidy is a "sellout" who could sell her soul for money and position- She is an enemy of the Gambia and her people!!!

EDITORIAL

Gambia's Vice President Isatou Njie Saidy, was one of those who said our kids killed themselves, when armed soldiers fired live bullets at student demonstrators on April 10and 11 200. This was Gambia's darkest day in the chapter of our country's calendar. The lying Vice President also claimed that the kids broke into police armories to loot and shot at their fellow students. The same Isatou Njie Saidy is today visiting army barracks across the West African country ahead of the country's September Presidential Elections. Many local observers believed that the VP is trying to convey a message from her boss Jammeh to the army to kill anybody bent on "disturbing the so called fragile peace" now towards the elections. The same observers also believed that the state is trying to politicize the divided army, as loyalty is a rear thing to come by today in the Gambian military. The military is as pissed off just like the civilian community. Their job security and better incentives is not guaranteed under Jammeh's watch, in view of the growing political and economic uncertainties hitting our country. Isatou Njie Saidy is a vicious woman who is aiding and abetting the Jammeh dictatorship. Madam Njie Saidy lost the respect and admiration of some of us, when she made her callous statements against our oppressed and murdered sons and daughters.

Breaking News:Gambian farmers owed 60 Million Dalasis-Waa Juawara reveals-As he finishes nationwide tour ahead of the polls

Juwara says NADD is not a Mickey Mouse Party and "will never run away from Jammeh's bully soldiers like UDP'S Ousainou Darboe"- He insists that Jammeh got to go come September!!!

Gambia's fire brand and leading politician Lamin Waa Juwara, has charged that the country's farming community are currently owed over D60 Million dalasis by the Gambian government, as incumbent President Yahya Jammeh is poised to fail in his third term re-election come September 22ND. The former Niamina Dankunku Parliamentarian in the first Republic, who just concluded a nationwide tour told the Freedom Newspaper, in an exclusive interview that Gambia's farmers are facing the pinch of the country's economic and political crisis, as there was no indication that the government will facilitate the payment of the D60million debt owed to the farmers. Juwara who is a senior executive member of the opposition NADD visited the Lower River Division, the Central River Division and the North Bank Division of the Gambia while on a political tour. " Everybody is angry with this regime. I started my tour in LRD to kiang west, Jarra, Niamina, Fulladu, Niani and SabagSanjal and the Badddibus. The people are very disappointed and frustrated by the regime because the government failed to purchase their groundnuts. Farmers are currently owed 60 million dalasis worth of groundnuts. It's a big disaster. Farmers are still owed. There is no indication that the government will pay them before the elections." Waa Juwara lamented.

The Gambia a Nation in Crisis-Jammeh's plans to kill before the elections exposed!!!
The United Nations and Civilized Nations should step in before the Gambia is in total turmoil

EDITORIAL

The Gambia is a nation in crisis. The impoverished West African country is experiencing political and economic uncertainties. Gripped by growing insecurity, the country is also witnessing a full blown dictatorship. Despite his unpopularity, President Yahya Jammeh is hell bent on clinging onto power. As the situation appears, it is not yet clear if Jammeh will leave office peacefully or violently. Jammeh is on record for having said that if it will take him to kill 1.5 million Gambians, almost the country's population to keep his government going he will do it. He repeated his call recently, while vowing to kill opposition supporters bent on disturbing the peace in the country's looming elections scheduled for September 22 ND. Jammeh, a blood thirsty dictator is poised to fulfil his promise. He enjoys killing and maiming Gambians. The United Nations and other civilized nations should step in before the Gambia, will be reduced into turmoil. The Gambia is far from being stable as bandit by the government and its agents. It is a country in crisis. Freedom is under attack in that country. From January to now junior, senior army officers, civilians, politicians and journalists have been languishing in jail without speedy trial. Gambia's jail houses is now becoming the homes for the oppressed and weak.

Private Eye With Gambiasara-Department of State for Youth and Sports Exposed!!!
Tuesday, August 08, 2006 (529 reads)

BY; GAMBISARA:

Department of State for Youth and Sports

http://faculty.msvu.ca/cbp/Youth%20Crime%20Watch%20banner.jpg

The Department of State for Youth and Sports is responsible for The National Youth Council. Its Secretary of State reports directly to the President of the Republic. Therefore, that being the case, one cannot mention the NYC without Omar Faye. Faye, “Nafiyoo”. The National Youth Council came as a result of the National Youth Policy which paved the way for the enactment of a National Youth Council Act. I think its aim (the Act) is to co-ordinate all youth-related programmes across the country. Fortunately, the Council came into being in the middle of 2000 under the tutelage of Mr. Raymond T. Gibba. The Council was envisaged “to play a critical advocacy role in the implementation of all youth related programmes particularly those run by State Departments. The Council will also serve as the main advisory body to Government on all matters relating to youth development in the country. At the same time The Council will serve as a channel of communication for all issues, including Government policy and programmes to all affiliated youth organisations”. It went further to state that “the National Youth Council would be an autonomous and non-partisan body to allow for the representation of the interests of all young men and women irrespective of their ethnic, political or religious affiliation, to enable it work effectively towards the foal of empowering young Gambia men and women. The National Youth Council shall establish technical committees selected among its members to facilitate, initiate, review and monitor the youth programmes in specific sectors”.

The Scramble over Gambia 2006 -Part two
The NADD Factor:

By Yankuba Darboe

NADD is the political alliance created on the memorandum of misunderstanding; and when the misunderstanding became understanding it collapsed. It is now clear that NADD has been abandoned by its parents; mum and dad, UDP/NRP. This begs the question, can NADD now succeed in this year’s scramble over Gambia 2006; under the care of its adopted parents; PDOIS, NDAM and half PPP; in order to depose our despotic monster King Kong Jammeh. Indeed, that was the main reason, which the NADD political alliance was created to do come this year’s election. That is to help us see the back of our nemesis, the cousin of late Idi Amin Dada, from the state house. However, NADD is now becoming the contrary, which begs me to question have we created another Frankenstein monster, in the form of NADD; that is becoming too difficult to handle than the King Kong Jammeh himself.
