The Beginning of the End- Yahya Jammeh MUST Go

By Baati Jollof

In the beginning was the WORD and the word was with God and the Word was God. As Muslim students taking Bible Knowledge at Saint Augustine’s high School many years ago, during the good old days, this is what we were taught by those disciplinarian priests. The power of the WORD which formulates letters, articles and speeches is just wonderful. Without the Word, the media can then be term as useless. This is what Yahya Jammeh had failed to understand for the past twelve years.

There is no doubt that Freedom Newspaper had given Yahya Jammeh many sleepless nights.

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh'-President Jammeh's IEC-Ruling for 30 years- setting the stage for a dirty civil war.

President Jammeh changes the election date to September Proves 'Bulfaaleh' right.

'Bulfaaleh's' articles started with issues like the election a couple of months back. They later on spread out touching on issues that the Gambian President does not want to be exposed by any daily paper. He is not all that silly a dictator you know... He surrounds himself with selfish executive officials in that way he can accomplish his dirty missions by covering himself up. President Jammeh has been using the month of Ramadan for many political reasons. He used it last year to force a reconciliation between him and the opposition.

Jammeh bent on stealing the elections!!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Once again be reminded that Bundu is the oasis. This is the oasis where thought is not shattered and hammered,it is always there to quench the thirst of 'sweating' minds.

What a ridiculous culture of endless 'Deffantehs'! It reminds me about the old days of Uncle 'Pakkin'. Unlce 'Pakkin' used to sing this term-"Aseh-do-me-a-do-you" in this short phrase of pidgin English Uncle 'Pakkin' meant business. He was endlessly warning those he hated to get set and go! Go where? Go to jail or go into the grave. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Uncle 'Pakkin' "Yaa neeh waaye!"-

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" leave the son of Bokarr Amadou Hamad near the powerful image. I salute this powerful image with the "asr wird". I can remember those days! when sahelian sun rays were hitting the laterite roads and clouds of dust were rising behind a speeding bush taxi. This is the 'katsaam-M'baar'. What an inheritance! Socio-linguistics have been able to blend 'wolofal' with imported french. The peugeout company calls it 'quatre-cent-quatre', 404. 'Bai-Taapaan' the black smith changed the name to 'Katsaam-Mbaar'. This is exotic french mixed with spicy 'wolofal' 'Quatre-cent' plus the 'M'baar'.
