Tuesday

2006
Lawyer Ousainou Darboe, who walked into our offices
yesterday, has disclosed that five officers led by Inspector
Colley went to his offices whilst he was away attending a
meeting.
When they got to his office, one of them, Mr Nasso, banged
on his office door repeatedly in the belief that he was in,
despite having been told that Lawyer Darboe was not in.“When I received the information, I returned to my office
between 4:15 and 4:30, “ Darboe said, adding: “Whilst
packing, members of the agency came in, identified
themselves as officers of the said squad and that they had
information that I had drugs concealed in my office,
dangerous weapons and other incriminating materials and they
wanted to search my office and I told them that they were
free to search.”

Horomsi:Has Jammeh hired mercenaries to kill opponents before elections?State Guard soldier exposes Jammeh/Abacha hired killer!!!
Monday, July 24, 2006 (728 reads)
Horomsi:Well,there
is this talk that the Jammeh government has hired some foreign
mercenaries to eliminate certain opponents ahead of the elections.This
report was revealed to me by somebody high in government.Whether true
or false, the reports are very disturbing to say the least. Why should
the government want to kill its opponents? For what? Who are these
foreign mercenaries to execute such dirty acts for Jammeh? The said
information was said to be a classified one. Well, thanks to our state
house source, it is being declassified. Each time, we report issues
about Jammeh, it turns out to be true. If our report is reliable or
not, the future will determine its truthfulness.We cannot sit on such a
sensitive information. We owe it to Gambians to expose enemies of
freedom in our country.

Gambia's stifled voices of freedom
Eric Weiss
24 - 7 - 2006
The Gambian government's persecution of the media has become too
blatant to ignore, as recent crackdowns reveal its nerves ahead of
elections in September, says Eric Weiss.

"The first to be targeted were the reporters from Sierra Leone and
Liberia," Lamin tells me. "Having lived through military takeovers in
their own countries, they were very critical when the army seized power
here. So the new regime made sure they were either silenced or
deported." That was in 1994. Since then, the conditions under which
independent journalists work in the Gambia has got worse, not better. 
From the beginning, the clique of junior officers who took control
in July 1994, under the name of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling
Council (AFPRC), were conscious of their narrow base of popular
support, and thus were sensitive to any public discussion which cast
them in a bad light, particularly to critical voices from the
independent media. Although they transformed themselves into a civilian
government through controversial elections in 1996, the new incarnation
of the military government, the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation
and Construction (APRC) continued to rule with the same disposition
towards critics.

Cold' feeling over Gambia charge
Kate and William West pictured in Hastings before he went missing
|
A man who went to Africa to look for a missing family friend has
said he felt "a cold emptiness" when the pensioner's wife was charged
with murder.
David Jenkins flew to The Gambia to look for William
West, 76, from St Helen's Park, Hastings, East Sussex after he went
missing three weeks ago.
Mr West's burnt body was found in a sack near his holiday home last week.
His Ghanaian-born wife Kate, 26, has been charged with murder but denies any involvement in Mr West's death.
Mr Jenkins, who flew from the UK to The Gambia with Mrs
West, said he found it hard to describe his feelings when she was
charged.
"Obviously there was deep sadness but all I can remember feeling is empty," he said.
"I was very close to Kate during the time that the body was recovered.
"A couple of people have asked me if I felt angry but the honest truth is that I didn't - it was a cold emptiness."

Gambia Youths and Women- Rise up for the challenges of September 2006 election
By Abdoukarim Sanneh UK The
forgotten citizens of the Gambia rise up to be counted! For many of my
generation of Gambian youths, you are the cradle for change; you are
the heroes and hero ness of the struggle for the restoration for
democracy, rise up to effect a change. Gambia youths, you are the
catalyst that can put an end to the madness, which our people are
engulfed into for many years only if you act wisely. The rise of Yaya
Jammeh into power was the beginning of your marginalisation and
exclusion in the mainstream society. The criminal regime has given you
nothing order than empty promises. For 12 years of APRC government,
what is the state of Gambian youths? The only answers to be found on
issues of development perspectives are as follows: - hopelessness,
disempowerment, poverty, hunger, unemployment, disease, environmental
damage, lack of safe drinking water etc. Our people from Kartong to
Koina are living on the edge confronted with all type of development
problems.

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh' Thomas De La Rue Minting Machines,"Misfits" of New currency,South African auditors may come back.
Sunday, July 23, 2006 (688 reads)
Thomas De La Rue a Minting Company Milking our meager resources With our own President...  President
Jammeh is ready to change our currency with ill intensions. Thomas De
La Rue is a European Company (its actual Country of origin known to
many anyway) I will deliberately leave President Jammeh to tell us the
country when he is irate again. Certainly he will be so angry in days
to come because I have promised that there will be facts and specific
details that will make President Jammeh sob in his own house.President
Jammeh was heard all over the place saying he has access to Allah's
bank. Allah has no bank for one person. President Jammeh has access to
Satan's bank. From 1994 he has indeed been a close associate of
Satan,therefore Satan has achieved its goal. As a result of that Satan
has finally decided to congratulate him at the end. President Jammeh
and the governor of Central bank plus other officials in that dirty
bank are once again ready to hoard what specialists call "Currency
Misfits".

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh'-Secret Account a City Bank,Barbecue Machines sent from Washington Embassy to celebrate the end of AU Summit.
Sunday, July 23, 2006 (627 reads)
President Jammeh the anonymous onwer of a secret account at City Bank in Washington DC...... It
is an open secret that President Jammeh was embarassed when I wrote
something on his deal with 'Sibiterr' when his Limousines were ordered
via LA before the AU summit. These facts have indeed been proven beyond
any reasonable doubt. These facts ie the existence of the Limousines
was reported on a Kenyan newspaper,by a Kenyan Journalist who attended
the AU Summit. Would President Jammeh still say that some of us simply
hate him? Does the journalist in Nairobi have any reason to hate
President Jammeh after all?

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh'-APRC'S "Evergreen"zone eroding-Pepper Sprays for APRC Bad boys.
Sunday, July 23, 2006 (480 reads)
APRC secret meeting revealed "defeatism" in President Jammeh's mind-"Evergreen Zone" eroding. In
President Jammeh's past secret meetings with APRC Stalwarts he used to
call his strong hold in the fonis the "Evergreen" zone. He said so
because his party's colour is green whereas he believed that he had
very strong base there. Of course his tactics of abduct or kill the
stubborn,then rule the scared are not paying off this time. He
overstepped his boundaries when he started a fight within his own
immediate circle. President Jammeh's dirty fight with villagers in
Dobong and others within certain parts of Foni Kansala has started
biting his behind so much. According to a source I spoke to today
Jammeh is no longer calling this place "Evergreen". Infact he is
thinking of shifting gears or changing his heart to say the least. He
wants to force himself on Kombo North therefore start calling this area
"Evergreen".

Editorial:JAMMEH'S GOV'T TOYS WITH GAMBIANS- as removal of IEC Boss is a mere game of deceit
Sunday, July 23, 2006 (258 reads)
JAMMEH'S GOV'T TOYS WITH GAMBIANS as removal of IEC Boss is a mere game of deceit By Yankuba Jambang-Associate Editor Again
Yahya Jammeh believes that Gambians are in a political slumber; he had
intentionally used Mr. Dondeh Njie to register tens of thousands of
illegal aliens to vote in the upcoming presidential elections. He
[Jammeh] knew there was going to be public outcry both from the
opposition and the independent media (out side the Gambia). The
Chairman of the 'Independent Electoral Commission'
was just used to rig the elections in advance. His removal was just a
mere game of politics to heap all the blames on his head and make him
the villain of the entire drama. The question is: were the voters'
cards issued to unqualified non-Gambians revoked after the chairman had
been removed? The answer is an emphatic NO.
