A Top Security Chief Talks To The Freedom Newspaper About Jammeh’s Psychiatric Problems

Jammeh’s Blackmailing Schemes Against The Army Exposed

Security Chief Says Jammeh Denied CDS Kinteh Degree Scholarship

By Pa Nderry M’Bai, Raleigh, NC

Few days ago, I was talking to a top Security Chief in The Gambia. He told me that the President Yahya  Jammeh  spent a significant amount of  time browsing the Internet. The Security Chief informed me that  Jammeh always quote the Freedom Newspaper publications during their security briefings. That he Jammeh tends to believe in the Freedom Newspaper more than his own intelligence community.  In other words, the official said Jammeh’s decisions are motivated by what we report here at Freedom. He wondered how we are able to rattle his cage all this while without the NIA apprehending those supplying us with such classified state secrets.  Mr. President you will be arrested first before our informants are apprehended. We will elaborate more on this later in this piece.

Gambia’s Anti Narcotic Director, IGP Badjie, And Others Accused Of  Siding With Drug Lords

Majang Is The Gambia’s Top Drug Lord

By Our Confidential Police Informant

Gambia's National Drug Enforcement Agency (NDEA) has the unenviable reputation of being one of the most discredited institutions among the country's security establishment. And the incredibly dampen CV of its reigning Director General, Bun Sanneh, alongside some other key figures within his dented management team, makes a rather unpalatable combination, but such a powerful force within the corridors of state power. Bun is widely considered as among the most highly corrupt figures in the country, hence his susceptibility to bribery, which makes him easily penetrable by drug barons. But unfortunately, like the trend is in Gambia today, he happens to be a favourite to the Gambian leader, Yahya Jammeh.

Michael Scales Hailed Mathew K Jallow

Dear Mr. Editor,

  It is good to see Mathew back in the "Knowing Zone" with his most recent offering to The Gambian Echo. The thing I like about Mathew is that he takes a piece from every aspect of Jammeh's failure..like a bricklayer and builds a compelling case for worthy consideration from the ruins. The reader is left in no doubt about where he is aiming and he aims well. One can take some similarity from Uncle Demba Jawo...in the crisp easily read and understood articles that both write....and I must confess to be a true follower and believer in what they write. But is what they write helpful....? and does it paint the right portrait or reveal the" blue print" for a post Jammeh administration?
