The Gambia government did not accuse Senegal – SoS L Kaba Bajo

On transit Friday the 7^thApril 2006, the Gambian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Lamin Kaba Bajo re-affirmed and thanked the Senegalese government for the warm relationship and the effective political cooperation between the two countries in a communiqué handed over to the Senegalese authorities.

SOS BAJO SAYS GAMBIA NEVER ACCUSES

SENEGAL. BUT CONFIRMS DAILY OBSERVER'S WILD ACCUSATIONS.

HOROMSI: “The liars cannot fool the Freedom Newspaper. We are too smart to be fooled by none journalists. Get your facts, before you contact us. We processed and double check information. Please take note of this. False tip offs cannot move us. We want breaking news stories, but not faked stories. Our credibility is in tack. Let Yahya’s under cover agents hold their horse. We believe in reporting the truth and nothing but the truth. Alabraka. Chi Jamma.”

The Freedom Newspaper, is deeply concerned about the ongoing torture going on at the NIA and Mile Two torture chambers. This paper was informed by a well placed source that the torture of the detainees were coordinated by people believed to be none Gambians hired by Jammeh. That Jammeh assigned them to take care of the detainees. That they walked into the prisons with masked at night and conduct the tortures. These are scary stories to say the least. Why exposing the detainees to such inhumane act? The civilized world need to come to Gambia’s aid. Our people are being tortured, maimed and killed without any justification.

JAMMEH SHOULD STOP THE KILLING AND

TORTURE OF GAMBIANS!!!

BY OUR WASHINGTON DC, JUDICIAL CORRESPONDENT

Attempts made by The Gambian government to block the death threats, bribery and corruption scandal allegations raised by the EAW Group, INC, Chief Executive John Aycoth, suffered a major set back, as the District US Federal court today denied Gambia’s request for the trial to be stayed. Gambia cited issues of national security to block the high profile suit brought against the Presidency, but the court rules that the matter was set to proceed come May, 3oTH, 2006. Today’s legal developments, will allow the EAW Group, INC to give evidence on the death threats allegedly received by its Chief Executive, bribery and corruption allegations involving top Gambian officials.

HOW LONG WILL THE SMILES

LAST JAMMEH?
