Gambia Expels UNICEF Chief

UNICEF Describes Gambia’s Move As “ Regrettable and Unfortunate.”

“ All we know is that the Government has declared that Ms. Kang is no longer welcome in the country. But we don’t know exactly for what reason and we are actually trying to find that reason right now. I am sure as soon as we know something, I would get to the press,” said Ms. Sally Singhateh, UNICEF Communication officer.

By Pa Nderry M’Bai, Raleigh, NC

Authorities in The Gambia have declared the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) representative unwelcomed in the tiny West African country, the Freedom Newspaper can authoritatively report. Ms. Min Whee Kang has been declared persona non grata by the administration of President Yahya Jammeh and has since left the country.  She was compelled to leave The Gambia within 24 hours or risked being “forcefully” thrown out of the country Friday, official sources here said. No reason was advanced for the Government’s move to declare the UNICEF Chief unwelcomed—in the former British colony,  The Gambia. Ms. Kang’s troubles with the Jammeh Government came to light this past weekend, when she was served with a terse letter—ordering her to leave the country with immediate effect. She complied and UNICEF officials here Banjul have confirmed about her sudden departure from the impoverished West African country.

Jammeh Warns About APRC”S Possible Failure

As He Calls For Greater Participation In Nation Building

“Silicon Valley Can Only Be Achievable If There Is Collective Participation,” Jammeh Observed

By Staff Reporter Bakary Gibba, Banjul

Continuing his new television program dubbed  “ Gambia in motion” Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh called on all Gambians irrespective of political affiliation to help build a better and prosperous nation. Mr. Jammeh cautions that his much talked about Silicon Valley—which is aimed among other things transforming the impoverished West African country into a modern state, would not be realized without the collective  participation of the country’s citizenry. The Gambian leader therefore implored on Gambians to put all hands on deck to ensure that such a vision is achievable, as envisaged in the Government’s development programs. Mr. Jammeh observed that a developed,  and prosperous Gambia would pave a better living conditions for the nations unborn generation. He says it should be the business of every Gambian to help develop the nation. This he says, would lay a good foundation for the upcoming generation—who he in his own words would be entrusted with the country’s mantle of leadership.

THE INSIDER: Count  your blessings, President  Jacob Zuma

South African Newspaper Quoted  Freedom Editorial

Source:http://www.businessday.co.za/articles/Content.aspx?id=93518       

PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma should be thankful that what passes for fair and balanced editorial comment in “Gambia’s premier online newspaper”, Freedom Newspaper, wouldn’t find a place in most South African papers. “To many here in Banjul, the President Yahya Jammeh is mentally insane. His personal disposition suggests that he is indeed ill and therefore needs urgent help. Jammeh’s IQ is below expectations. Pictures never lie. Take a look at this image — in which Jammeh is acting like a retarded thug — who is about to stir a fight with his cabinet ministers. Jammeh’s ailing mental health condition is driving him crazy.”

Has Powerful Businesses Hired Mercenaries To Kill Jammeh?

Why Jammeh Is Absent From The Public View?

Classified State Secrets Declassified!!!

By Lamarana Jallow, Son Of The Gambia

I have been compelled to write for the sake of posterity. I am one of the personal aides of  President Yahya Jammeh. Bear with me for a moment to relate my experiences at the State House in Banjul and Kanilai, the President’s home villa. I am not writing out of hatred, vengeance, or malice. My decision to come out from the closet has been prompted by the President’s move to smear our gallant and patriotic armed forces and the influential business community. I want The Gambian nation—including our armed forces to understand some key national security issues currently boggling the mind of the Head of State. I do know for a fact that the President has been briefed not to show up in the public view to avoid  being assassinated by an unnamed hired mercenaries, who intelligence reports suggest are currently in the country. These mercenaries have been tasked to remove Jammeh and restore an interim government to be headed by Civilians. It has come to our attention that several millions of dalasis have been pumped into this major operation, which is seemingly worrying Oga to death.
