President Jammeh Accuses The People Of Sinteh and Foni of Witch Crafting-Will Such Wild Accusations Affect him Politically?
The Real Witch is Jammeh Who Uses Human Flesh To Feed His Starving Lions At Kanilai...
Is Jammeh Saying That Lang Tombong Tamba, Aziz Tamba, Tumbul Tamba and Co Were Also Part Of The Witches?
President
Yahya Jammeh has accuses the people of Foni Sinteh of witch crafting.
The President told his supporters during his meet the people tour that
many youths in Sinteh and its surroundings were leaving the area
because of witch crafting. Many elders in the village and youths were
angered by what they called Jammeh's direct accusations against the
inhabitants of their area. Jammeh who believes in spiritual craft is
today being surrounded by army officers, mainly from Sinteh and other
villages in the Fonis. His statement has far reaching political and
security implications for an isolated and disgraced despot seeking for
a third re-election. Many villagers were taken aback by Jammeh's wild
and unsubstantiated accusations against the people of Sinteh. Read
these few lines of Jammeh ran by the Banjul based Point Newspaper"In
conclusion, President Jammeh urged the elders of Foni to encourage the
youths of Foni to stay in Foni to ensure its advancement. He expressed
the view that the youths of Foni tend to leave for the Kombos for fear
of witchcraft. He warned that if the elders of Foni didn’t desist from
the diabolical practice of witchcraft so that the youths would have the
courage of staying in Foni, he would step in to protect the youths. He
however advised the youths to be respectful to their parents. “You
should be respectful to your parents and you are not to expected to be
idling the hours away while your parents are busy working in the
farms,” he said.President Jammeh has not only insulted the
people of Sinteh, but Foni in general. The real witch is Yahya Jammeh.
He kills and hand over human remains to his crocodiles in Kanilai for
consumption.

manhandled and then released without any explanation," Reporters

Freedom Newspaper Profiles President Yahya Jammeh-Gambia's Iron Hand Dictator Will Soon Be History!
President Yahya Jammeh settled into the West African country, The
Gambia when he was pretty young accompanied by his parents from
Casamance. Jammeh was born in the Southern Provence of Casamance and
later raised in Foni, a provincial locality in the Gambia. His Gambian
citizenship has been a subject of discussion across the country, as
many people doubted his Gambian citizenship claim. This to some extent
affected Jammeh in many ways in his life as an impoverished kid. Jammeh
came from a poor family back ground just like some of us whom he
perceives as his biggest threat today. Jammeh's initial bid to join
the then Gendamerie was greeted with big opposition by those charged
with the responsibility of screening military recruit applicants. When
a back ground check was conducted on him, Jammeh was dropped on non
citizenship grounds. He was also being associated with fugitive Kukoi
Samba Sanyang, the mastermind of the 1981 abortive coup, which left
hundreds of Gambians dead. While Jammeh has no relationship with Kukoi,
earlier reports suggested that he was a blood relative of Kukoi. Thanks
to the former Tourism Minister Alkali James Gaye, Jammeh was admitted
into the army. James helped Jammeh a great deal in life. Had been that
it was not James Gaye, Jammeh would not have been a soldier in the
first place. Little did James know at the time that he was helping a
man who was going to wage an arm resurrection against the very
government he served over the years. Jammeh has been a stubborn kid. We
will come to that later.

By Staff Writer Justice Sam
 President
Yahya Jammeh is planning to declare a state of emergency in the event the
opposition refuses to concede defeat in the country's September 22ND
Presidential Elections, a well placed state house source hinted today.
The state house insider says "the President is increasingly worried
about the comportment of the opposition after the declaration of the
elections results" and as such had initiated contingency plans to
avert any unrest in the West African country. It is gathered that the
President had assigned certain state guard soldiers in private to run
some errands for him before polling day. The state house insider hinted
that some of these state guards led by Musa Jammeh off late had been
training in the bush in a bid to execute Jammeh's assignment. Our
source who met the President on a daily basis told the Freedom
Newspaper that the Head of State was also troubled by the loyalty of
the some of the men of the Gambia National Army as certain soldiers
were placed under surveillance by the NIA. The source said the
President still entertains the belief that some of the soldiers were
Ndure Cham's loyalists and is planning to get rid of them. Our state
house source hinted that some of the said soldiers placed under
surveillance were being closely watched at work and home.

Freedom Newspaper Profiles Agriculture Minister Yankuba Touray-Touray Is Not A Gambian By Birth-Investigations Reveal!
 Yankuba
Touray is the Driving Force behind the Ruling APRC. Despite past and
present corrupt scandals involving the politician, the President is
still keeping him in his government. Yanks, who was born in Mali
settled in the Gambia with his parents when he was very young. Touray
came to the Gambia at the age of five and can hardly speak our local
languages at the time. Besides, Bambara, Touray cannot speak any of the
local languages at the time. Thanks to the people of Nowlaru Baddibou,
Yanks was accepted into the community. He was issued with a brith
certificate just like many Gambians who were born in the Gambia. In
those days, you don't need to be citizen to obtain Gambian national
documents. As long as village alkalos okayed your Citizenship claims,
you are good to go. Most alkalos hate to reject "SURUGAS" or mates like
Yank's father. They okayed all their request once they settled in
communities. In the case of Yankuba Touray, both his father and mum are
non Gambians. They were born and raised in Mali. The Gambia is today
ruled by non Gambians. The country is being hijacked by non citizens.

Breaking News: GRTS Reporter Dodou Sanneh fired-TV Director Momodou Sanyang Reprimanded by the President verbally!!!
Nia Officers Allegedly Threatens Sanneh While in Custody
State House Issues Decree To Censor All Critical Opposition Views During Campaign Period- As Election Fever Heats UP...
By Staff Writer Karafa Badjie
News just came in that the detained GRTS reporter Dodou Sanneh has been
fired with immediate effect by the government, the Freedom Newspaper
can reveal. Sanneh was accused of sympathizing with the opposition and
also using derogatory remarks against the President, sources hinted.
Sanneh has been in NIA custody since his disappearance few days ago. An
official of the state controlled TV GRTS told the Freedom Newspaper
that news of Sanneh's sacking was communicated to their Director
Momodou Sanyang yesterday before close of business. The GRTS official
said Momodou Sanyang was also reprimanded by the state for allowing
Sanneh to cover opposition rallies, which according to the source
angered the President. TV Director Sanyang was summoned by the
President to censor critical opposition views or risked being fired. It
is not clear if Dodou Sanneh will face any charges, but sources hinted
that there is a big shake up at GRTS, as journalists working at the
state media were living in constant fear. That many reporters and their
editors were censoring themselves ahead of the elections. Reports have
it that Dodou Sanneh was being physically abused by captives. Up to
the time of piecing this story together Dodou Sanneh's firing was not
reversed by the state. He is no longer an employee of the GRTS said my
source.
