Jammeh
".....with little formal education, has become one of the wealthiest men in The Gambia. There is widespread belief that he came by this wealth by pilfering the public coffers. His administration is rife with corruption and a climate of cronyism."
"He has no appreciation of the concept of separation of powers and wields his power relentlessly over most branches and agencies of the Gambian government. He has no qualms about asking civil servants to join the APRC and to campaign for him. He has little regard for the Gambian constitution except when he wants to change it to suit his needs."
Darboe
"Darboe seems to be relying on tribal loyalties to secure victory at the polls on September 22. His alliance with Hamat Bah appears to be calculated to win the votes of
Bah's tribal group, the Fulas, the second largest in the country.... Darboe has stated that it his destiny to become President and believes that Jammeh's poor governance and human rights record will motivate Gambians to vote en masse for anyone other than the incumbent."
" It is unclear how a Darboe administration would differ from the present administration, except perhaps the likely cessation of blatant human rights abuses. Darboe has not, in this contest, or any previous contests, presented a clear outline of his vision for progress and development in the country. He sometimes gives the impression that he wants the presidency not for what he can do for The Gambia but for what being president of The Gambia can do for him. While he has not hesitated to come to the Embassy to complain about President Jammeh or the APRC, it is not clear whether he would be a reliable ally for the U.S."
Sallah
"He is an astute intellectual and one of the country's most vocal critics of the current administration. He is known and respected throughout the country and abroad for his constant admonishment of President Jammeh's government for its failure to adhere to the country's constitution and the principles of democracy."
"But Sallah's intellectualism, apparent in everything that Sallah says or writes, may be his
downfall. He talks over the heads of ordinary Gambians, often using complex evaluations and explanations to make even the most mundane point. Even other intellectuals sometimes find it difficult to follow his arguments."
" A win by Halifa Sallah would almost certainly usher in a new era in Gambian government and politics. Sallah's ideas are consistent with democratic principles and we would expect a Sallah administration to be a reliable friend of the U.S."

Not to mention too, Prince:
"...He is eager to be perceived as an African statesman, but pursues that goal through pomp, pageantry and excess, rather than through substantive achievements. He has no appreciation of the concept of separation of powers and wields his power relentlessly over most branches and agencies of the Gambian government..."
Thankyou Wikileaks...................................L L!

The Gambia cables are very interesting. I just finished reading all of them. Most are now taken away from the internet by the "powers above." Luckily, I downloaded all the Gambia cables.
