"Mighty" Aziz Tamba Has Fallen! Tamba Says Jammeh will soon join him At Mile Two?
Thursday, December 07, 2006 (1675 reads)
  Aziz Tamba, Gambia's former Co-President has joined the list of disgraced Jammeh hit men in jail. It would take eight good years before the former "mighty" Tamba would regain freedom. A local court presided over by Magistrate Moses Richard has sentenced Tamba on corruption and arm possession charges. Tamba was one of those APRC bigwigs running President Jammeh's errands. It's alleged in some quarters that Aziz Tamba was among the State House junglers who kill perceived political opponents. Today, Tamba is a guest at the "Hell Fire" Mile Two, to borrow the expression used by Sana Bairo Sabally. Tamba's jailing should serve as an eye opener to other junglers serving President Jammeh at this hour. President Jammeh is only interested about power and would not hesitate to sacrifice his right hands if his interest is threatened.

By: Gambisara; Senior Manager.
I write to acknowledge receipt of an open letter dated 1st December 2006 and addressed to President Yaya Jammeh and copied to our media house for publication, and was published as requested. In that so long a letter, which I will borrow the name from a book written by Mariama Bah, a Senegalese woman years ago. That book was titled “So Long Letter”. In your so long a letter, you mentioned many issues, mainly for the President to Pardon for former Mile II Prisons colleagues, captioned “Freedom, there is nothing you can replace it with, because that is human dignity”. We must commend you for having taken a huge time to write the literature. We hope the addressee will make sense from it.
