Rah,
I dont think you understand what i am refering to. You started by accusing PA Nderry. All i am saying is no matter how you feel about pa nderry or even if you think the whole issue about Bajinka was a lie, still you need not accuse him because the article did not originate from his web page. It is originated from Mr. Ebrima Sankareh's web page. These are two different people. You just read the article and assumed that it came from freedomnewspaper. That is what i was trying to correct before you go accusing an innocent person. |

Folk,
I know that there is a lot of back-and-forth about this: is it true is it not...etc. But I just want to remind everyone here that for every rumour, especially in Gambia, there is always an element of truth. Now with the new developments of further purges going on (see below), it is very possible, even probable that Banjinka is on the run or is wanted for arrested. And also to answer Madiba's question, which is very valid, he is right, it does not make any sense for banjinka to be 'implicated', but again, in these times of deciept and deception, he may have known about it, and kept quiet (concealment), look at Pierre Mendy and co.
Anyway, see below from Observer:
Kujabi, Jatta, others charged with treason
Written by Lamin M. Dibba
Friday, 28 July 2006
The Attorney General’s Chambers, yesterday charged seven former top security officers suspected for treason and conspiracy to commit the offense of treason under section 35 of the Criminal Code.
The seven charged were, Abdoulie Kujabi, former Director-General of the NIA, Foday Barry, former Commissioner of Police, Kanifing Division, Baba Saho, former NIA Director of Operations, Vincent Jatta, former Chief of Defence Staff, Kemo Balajo, former NIA Director of External, Gibriel Secka, former NIA Director of Operations and Alieu Singhateh, former NIA Director of Intelligence.
The suspects have been arrested and charged in connection with the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of the Republic of The Gambia, on March 21st 2006. Meanwhile, the suspects are being remanded in custody awaiting trial.

Wrong again, with respect, kajaw. My post started: "Didn't this ring a bell." In other words, didn't PaNderry's article ring a bell for Major Bajinka and associates to be careful?
You should also check the dates. The messages are cullied from Gambia L. and not from Mr. Ebrima Sankareh's web page. I have never visited that site. yeh,rah |

Folks,
where is my honorable friend kondorong ? If he was a serer or sarahulle i would have shave his head and give him a Fulani name-(jokes). He would for sure like "Jam-boye". (laugh !) Any way folks, the debate wasn't bad. Those that are asking for the authencity of the story are having a real stand, and i myself support and respect that things be verified. A friend of mine received an e-mail from the Major himself. And , also here is what Sedou (Bajinke's brother) posted at the mighty post. I hope that will help us move to another topic ot atleast declare the story true. I am sorry to any that felt wounded about the incident, i feel the same way. I knew Bajinke through my cousins, and since then there is always family relation, especially they are Bainunkas and we are fulas, so we have a jovial relation. We are the fathers, and they are sons. Either way, we wish him a safe destination. In the piece below Sedou expressed disappointment over my usage of the word "cried", but we already sorted ourselves on it.
"FIRSTLY,YORRO JALLOW,HOW THE HELL YOU CAN JUST WRITE LIES ABOUT ME CRYING ??YOU
ARE DEFINITELY A CELEBRATED LIAR.
YOU CALLED MY HOUSE THIS MORNING,I ASKED WHO U ARE AND U TOLD ME YORRO FROM
MINNESOTA. AND U WANTED TO ASK ME A QUESTION,I TOLD U GO AHEAD.YOU MENTIONED TO
ME THAT U SPOKE TO SANKAREH OF THEGAMBIAECHO.COM NEWSPAPER AND WANTS TO VERIFY A
REPORT ABOUT THE ARREST OF MY
BROTHERS IN GAMBIA.I TOLD U YES IT IS TRUE THEY WERE ARRESTED SINCE MONDAY
NIGHT.WHEN AND WHERE DURING OUR
SHORT CONVERSATION DID I CRY OR SHOW SOUND OF CRYING?
YORRO BE CAREFUL LIARS DON'T GO ANYWHERE IN THEIR STRUGGLE.
SECONDLY,IF U HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PRESIDENT JAMMEH GO AHEAD WITH IT BECAUSE I
DONT.MY BROTHERS SITUATION IS
DESTINE BY GOD ALMIGHTY AND THEIR FATE TOO.
FINALLY,I AM DEFINITELY SHOCKED WITH THE WAY U REPORT OUR 3 MINS
CONVERSATION.BUT BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR REPORTING.
HAVE A GOOD DAY",
SEEDOU BAJINKA

| Lowe, this is a good joke. By their names (our believes) kondorongs are short. But our Fulani culture has it that they wrestle good, and no one can fall them down. Also, i heard Kondorong talking about him being a good wrestler. If the shaving is not a voluntary one, then Kondorong will wrestle you to the ground. Possibly, he is not short-just a name he chose, but i like the wisdom behind ur joke. Thanks for sharing it. Also, it will kick us to another question-are our believes about Kondorongs true ? |

People, see below:
Banjul, July 30 The Gambia Journal
Reliable sources have said that escaped military officer Major Bajinka has been calling from Dakar, Senegal. Major Bajinka escaped attempts to arrest him by NIA(National Intelligence Agency) officers about a week ago and was being hunted by some members of the security forces. The attempt to arrest the former Aide de camp and commander of the State House Guards came shortly after his return from a year-long officers’ course in Nigeria. It is not known what Major Bajinka was being wanted for but many suspect it had to do with the foiled March 21st alleged coup attempt. The Senegalese capital is now a place of refuge for scores of people, including top former military officers, journalists and politicians, who were able to escape from The Gambia for one reason or the other reason, real or imagined, conjured up by an increasingly paranoid and repressive regime. The reports of the Major’s presence in the Senegalese capital will bring a sigh of relief to many who feared he might have gone the same way as those of the supposedly escaped Daba Marenah, former NIA boss, and four other security officers.

Major Bajinka escaped death narrowly.
The bajinkas raided; four behind bars and Major escaped capture narrowly.
Following what is best described as a raid on the Bajinkas in Brikama, Major Khalifah Bajinka is at large, and four of his immediate family members behind NIA bars.
Confirming the story, Sedi-Lamin Bajinka,blood brother to Major Bajinka, living in the Wisconsin State of US, described his family encounter as unfortunate. "My brothers Yaya, Essa and Wuyeh are under arrest. Also, a cousin of mine, Bunamah.", cried Sidi-Lamin Bajinka.
Sidi-Lamin who won't say a lot about the whereabouts of the big figure Major Bajinka for safety reasons confirmed that Major Bajinka narrowly escaped death or capture from the hands of the Jammeh administration, and that the arrest of his innocent brothers is connected to the young major's escape.
"I tried to convince my brother not to return home from Nigeria after knowing he was tainted in the alleged Coup following widespread newspaper publications.", Said Sidi-Lamin, "But Major maintained that he is totally innocent of it and must go home no matter what will happen to his life.", he added.
Long time allies and Smpathisers to the Bajinkas, namely Mr. Demba Bah and his brother Musa, expressed real concern and hope that their friend Khalifah-as they fondly call him, will successfully find safety soon following that hot chase from the Jammeh killers.
It is remembered that Major Bajinka was a long time loyalist to the Jammeh administration, and was just returning home from his military training in Nigeria.
Note: The news tips alert was forwarded to us by Mr. Ebrima Sankareh, Editor-in-Chief, the Gambia Echo. At Gainako, we wish Bajinka a safe destination, and we implore on the Gambian authorities to release major's brothers, all non-military personnels.
HOW TRUE IS THIS STORY? A FAMILY FRIEND I SPOKE TO AN HOUR AGO SAID HE JUST SPOKE TO BAJINKA'S WIFE AND SHE DIDN'T MENTION IT AND SHE WAS AT WORK.
This story was first carried by Pa Nderry's Freedomnewspaper. Sankareh first falsified it then took a 360 degrees turn to bring his own'authentic' version. According Sankareh Bajinka was on a year long training course in Nigeria how then could he be implicated in a coup that was planned and nearly executed in his absence? Dalton1 where did Sidi Bajinka confirm the story?
This story was earlier refuted on Gambia-L as followshttp://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?A2=ind0607c&L=gambia-l&D=1&H=1&O=D&F=P&P=351
Its a disgrace that people can smear others and put families in trouble just because they have an axe to grind with the state. Lets PRACTICE RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM.
Madiba,
I have been following you postings and they seem as neutral. I have the same views to some parts of your postings for the simple reason that i don't know some of the guys you talk about. The only Bajinka I know is Ebrima Bajinka. We went to Armitage together. Since I left Gambia I have not met him again. Is he of the same family?
You are quite right about the freedomnewspaper artickle. As we are all not in the Gambia, I would rather ask for more evidencce before I say anything. My family is back at home and they have no business with the politics, so when ever I ask they always say they do not debate politics in the country. They live as we have lived in the Gambia since my grandfather and grandmother came to the country. But if things said are true then it is a pity. This is why I have said , the first thing I would do given the power to decide in the gambia is to dismiss the army. We don't need an army. There is no neighbouring country that trethens Gambia. The only neighbour we have has no political intrest since the British mixed us up in the early 1960s.(The reason why PPP was formed) |

Thanks bro for the kind words. The only Bajinka family I know of is in Brikama. They are originally Bainukas. But that family has been in Brikama for a long time now.
My stance on this forum and other ones is ALWAYS REPORT THE TRUTH OR AS IT IS. If one is not privy to certain information, correct information for that matter, its holier to shut up. What am advocating here is we should not allow people with ulterior motives force things down our throats. I will NOT TAKE MERE RUMOURS, ALBEIT RUMOURS ARE ATTIMES FOUND TO BE TRUTFUL LATER. Until proven true am no party to rumours.
I am not related to Bajinka, but i do know people related to him. Thats why in The Gambia we are all related. Your friend's relative is your relative. As i said earlier, a soldier is no-ones friend. What they do within the Army is entirely soldier matter as long as civilians and the country don't suffer.
What i find hard to understand here is when one falls out with the APRC gov't IRRESPECTIVE of what that person's deeds(bad) he is turned into a hero.What kind of opposition is that?
If Bajinka has fallen out with his boss that's it, he is just one of many. And he has been accused to have masterminded some atrocities such as the Arson attack on the Independent Newspaper. So despite his present predicament he still has to prove his innocence regarding the alledged atrocities.
Another thing is online-papers which are opposition inclined should lean towards educating the masses in the diaspora about the potentials of The Gambia when better governed, how to invest in The Gambia , history of The Gambia, profiles of great Gambians, Pan-Africans,painting a positve image of the country to encourage investors etc etc.Even as a newspaper post true stories and not SCANDALOUS ones. |

I am a sarahule. You are right. I guess i was just too frustrated believeing what i heard. We have jailed so many. I hate the daily rituals that i sometimes please my self by trying to deny that anything is wrong.
But accoribd to culture, we are your bosses. You rememebr the war betwen Futa and kaabu |

Kons.,
Great, it is all yours for a week.I understand where you are coming from. Take no offense over me having to singled you out of all the lot-tells you that you are a power house. And you are my star here.
What is story behind choosing the name Kondorong ? Are you that short ? What are ur believes about Kondorongs ? My rich culture tells me a lot about them, especially the believe that they help us look after cattle-rearing when they are grazing in the meadows and that they cut cow tails.
Have a nice week bro.
Yero. |
