JOLLAS HEAD BUREAUCRATIC UNITS!!!

Of Tribalism and Men: Pointing out Ethnic Politics in the Gambia is No Crime – The Watchman

Once again, Gambians are showing their timidity when it comes to facing the glaring deficiencies of our grossly imperfect democracy by attacking a newspaper gutsy enough to point out that yes, tribalism does exist within the pungent environment of political stagnation that Yahya Jammeh has concocted after 14 torrid years of misrule. To hear them tell it, critics of the Freedom newspaper's recent illustration of political appointees tainted by a common denominator, that of being Jolas, are concerned that all in all, these reports are just stunts that have no merit and possess the latent potential to incite internecine mischief. As the British would say, this is plain poppycock. Gambians are sensitive to a fault about how the imaginary good name of their country is seen and perceived by others and amongst themselves and this not only shows political naiveté but also reveals the biggest impediment to national development and the building of a credible juggernaut of an opposition to the blight and malaise proffered by the parasitic Jammeh outfit.

….WASHINGTON ARE 2008 ALD SOCCER CHAMPIONS.

By Correspondent  Bakary Gibba, Washington DC

An early penalty goal propelled Washington DC to a lone goal victory against the defending champions New York an claimed the 2008 African Liberation Day tournament in Washington DC.The soccer tournament that forms an integral part of the ALD tournament in Washington DC has once again ended in Columbia Park at the suburbs of Washington DC. Eight teams participated in the fiercely contested tournament. They include Washington DC, Cincinnati, DC old hands, Reading PA, Atlanta, Rhode Island, Senegal and the defending champions New York.

The group games were played throughout Saturday and the winners played the semi finals on Sunday. New York defeated Ohio in a post game penalty kick out and Washington narrowly defeated Reading to a lone goal. The final game was played between the defending champions New York and the hosts Washington DC.

A game of splendid nature was shown by New York and an early penalty in the first quarter was converted into a goal that defined the match. With all the struggles from New York strikers, wonderful defense by Essa Jallow and a great play by goal keeper Dennis was not enough to offset the win. Time became a factor and the game was ended abruptly without time elapsing when it became dark.

Washington DC claimed the trophy for the first time in many years. The presentation ceremony would be done tonight. The ALD is celebrated by Gambians as a tribute to the founding of the OAU on May 25,1963. Beauty contests, sympossia, soccer tournaments and lots of merry night characterize the celebration. Final version to come tomorrow.

OUR TODAY LIST OF JOLLA APPOINTEES!!!

...JAMMEH’S TRIBAL DISCRIMINATION EXPOSED

While we want to assure our good brother and colleague PK Jarju that our latest documentation of Jolla appointees has  no malicious connotations, we at the Freedom Newspaper want to make it clear that PK Jarju is one of those Jollas committed to the struggle. PK has been blamed for the past for not supporting Jammeh because of his firm opposition against the dictatorship. The list said list was forwarded to the Freedom Newspaper by Public Servants displeased with the current state of affairs.

Our today's list of Jolla appointees

1.Joseph Jassey, Permanent Secretary, Defence-Jolla

2.Kebba Bojang- Sales and Marketing Manager, Gamcel-Jolla

3.Ansumana Jammeh, Executive Director, Jammeh Foundation-Jolla

4.Abubacarr Camara - Manager Quality Control, Gambia Tourism Authority (GTA)-Jolla

5.Ebrima Sanneh, Senior Policy Analyst, SPACO, under President's Office-Jolla

6.Fatou Colley, Private Secretary, Department of State for Trade - Jolla

7.  Fatou Sanneh, senior official , Department of State for Communications, Jolla

Meanwhile, stay tuned to your most authoritative medium, the Freedom Newspaper. When we come next, we will bring to you the names of  all the Jolla appointed alkalos in the Greater Banjul Area. Also we are informed that the commander of the paramilitary  is  a Jolla but we are yet to get his full name. So let's give time to our Banjul-based investigators  to dig deep into what one of our editors calls Jammeh's Jollanisation's relentless drive.

Let President Jammeh  prove us wrong if what we are saying here is out of touch. We are unlike Jammeh who in May 2006 went  all-out to come up with trumped-up list of Freedom Newspaper subscribers and viciously harassed them. We at Freedom we mean business and not bullines.
