Private Eye With Gambiasara-Jammeh and the APRC are joking with Gambians youths!!!
Wednesday, August 16, 2006 (354 reads)
Department of State for Youth and Sports: Continued from last edition.
The Gambia’s 1998-2008 Youth policy
defines its Youth as “all
young Gambian men and women aged between 13 and 30”. As it put it,
“Young men and women in this category experience a variety of
influences and transitions that deserve special attention within the
National Youth Policy”. Going by the 1993 population census,
the population of the Gambian Youth constitutes 40% amounting to
394,726 persons out of a total population of 1,038,145. This clearly
indicates that the Gambia
had a youthful population and does not need to worry about the future
if proper initiatives are properly put in place and well managed. The
Policy went to highlight numerous social problems such as drug abuse,
illiteracy, teenage pregnancies which it said to be the major factor
contributing to the high mortality rate, early marriages to constitute
about 53%; it said that cultural practices have played a role in
encouraging early marriages, etc.

Wednesday, August 16, 2006 (713 reads)
By Pa Saikou Kujabi
Halifa Sallah is back again working for Yaya Jammeh .
Readers, it should not be a surprise for anyone who
knows Halifa Sallah to see him going to work for Yaya
Jammeh and the APRC regime one more time. I have
always said it in many internet forums that Halifa
Sallah is as arrogant, selfish,stained, deceptive as
Yaya Jammeh.

Dispatches from a fragile country-What does 12 years rule of Yaya Jammeh mean for the Gambia?
By Abdoukarim Sanneh
There
are many pseudo intellectuals and so-called progressive Gambian think
tanks that are partly to be blamed for the strengthening dictatorial
rule in our country. Many of these people have collaborated with
quarter baked educated soldiers since in the early days of July 1994 in
all types of crimes against defenceless and voiceless masses of
Gambians in the name of freedom that never happened. Today the majority
of our people are hallowing in absolute poverty while the disparity
between the richer and poor citizens is much wider as ever before. What
does the 1994 take over of government yields? The answer is simply and
it turned Yaya Jammeh and his gang of criminals from ragamuffins into
millionaires.

Gambian Opposition:Speaker of the house Bidwel Pre-empts 2006 elections.
Tuesday, August 15, 2006 (441 reads)
Banjul Political Affairs Correspondent.
As
the elections are fast approaching, while the International community
of decent people are zooming on Yahya Jammeh's Gambia,his "trailers"
are trying all they can to put put powder on the baboon's face. They
can't. VP Isatou Njie Saidy started it with her so-called security
check points within a blurred picture of flawed laws. Isatou Njie is
really not the one any serious politician should worry about. She is a
timid lamb that is trying to use its teeth againts fierce lions. She is
being used.

Breaking News:Diplomat Pa Nyga Mendy recalled!!
An Embassy insider says Mendy is scared to return to the Gambia following his close ties with the late Daba Marena?
By Our Washington DC, Correspondent
Well placed sources close the Gambian Mission in Washington DC say the
mission's First Secretary Pa Nyaga Mendy has been replaced but for
some reasons the foreign envoy is not keen at returning home at this
hour. Pa Nyaga Mendy, a former official of the feared National
Intelligence Agency was said to be one of the errand boys of the
murdered Gambia's intelligence chief Daba Marena. Sources say Pa Nyaga
was one of those affected by the recent changes in civil service and
the diplomatic front. The Freedom Newspaper gathered that the
government is recalling people who were close to Daba Marena and other
people implicated on the March alleged abortive coup. An anonymous
source at the DC embassy who confirmed the story say Pa Nyaga is
currently gripped by anxiety and worry about what would visit him if he
returns home. While the former intelligence officer is contemplating
returning to the Gambia, said the embassy insider, his family members
and loved ones had prevailed over him not to return to the West
African country, as the Jammeh regime might target him in view of his
past close ties with the late Daba Marena.

Following attempts by the Gambian government to charge Freedom Editors in absentia-Columnist Gambisara reacts!!!
Monday, August 14, 2006 (388 reads)
Reaction by Gambisara
Re: Freedom editors; Pa Nderry, Omar Bah, Bulfaaleh, and Mathew K Jallow charged in absentia by the Gambian government
Gambisara
always wants to use diplomacy in dealing with circumstances as that was
the path he had with the Freedom Newspaper management, through Mr.
M’bai. In this situation, diplomacy is being thrown out through the
exit door.
What
Gambisara wants to make crystal clear to Yaya Jammeh, Tijan Hydara and
his APRC regime is to pack up and leave No. 1 Marina Parade. By this
act, you have once again demonstrated your zero tolerance to freedom of
speech and lack of respect for human rights to the outside world and
your incapability of leading the Gambia. Jammeh, for haven sake, remember that you came to power as a result of the AK 47
and later begged us the country men and women to vote you into office
in 1996. At the time, senior members of society flatly disagreed, the
youngsters supported your bid and you won by about 56%. Those senior
members of society where projecting for the long term, which the junior
members of society could not. The APRC under your leadership have
woefully failed the Gambian people. You have systematically succeeded
in eliminating your colleagues in the struggle to get you were you are
today all because of jealousy.
Managing Editor Pa Nderry M'Bai and Omar Bah charged in absentia by Jammeh

Exposing Jammehs Fraud What Needs to Be Done (I)

Exposing Jammehs Fraud What Needs to Be Done (I)
On a recent visit to The Gambia at the end of the first quarter of this year, I could not help but tease public opinion by talking to a number of people about the possibilities of defeating the A(F)PRC under Jammehs
leadership in the upcoming elections. Most of those I spoke with
indicated the seemingly inevitable passage into yet another five years
with the A(F)PRC. Some of these people are well respected elites of the
society in which they live. Some would categorically tell me these
people (the opposition) are wasting their time because Yaya will never
lose an election in Gambia.
