NEWS FLASH: WHAT A SHAME TO THE SARAHULLEH COMMUNITY AND THE JAMMEH GOVERNMENT. By Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu, NTI XANNEN UNCOVERS HOW SOME POWER-HUNGRY SARAHULLEHS LIKE CONSUL HAGGIE JAWARA IN ANGOLA, ARE REPORTEDLY JOINING THE BANDWAGON OF USING THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NIA) TO FIGHT THOSE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SITUATION OF GAMBIANS IN ANGOLA. SINCE HINTING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF GAMBIANS IN ANGOLA, WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT IS MAKING THE MATTER MORE URGENT. WE ARE SHOCKED TO DISCOVER HOW GAMBIAS HONORARY CONSUL IN ANGOLA, HAGGIE JAWARA IS USING MONEY AND FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO MANIPULATE THE JAMMEH GOVERNMENT AND THE NIA TO FIGHT ANYONE WHO TALKS ABOUT THE REAL CHALLENGES OF GAMBIANS. „ANGANA DIGAMU IRINI ANXOROYA“ (if you talk they will come and arrest you).“ TO QUOTE A GAMBIAN IN ANGOLA WHO SAYS THE FIGHT STARTS THERE. HE CONTINUES „PRINCE B.A. SANKANU WE ARE SUFFERING HERE AND LIVING IN PERMANENT FEAR. ALL THAT HAGGIE JAWARA AND HIS PEOPLE TELL PRESIDENT JAMMEH, NIA AND „DAILY OBSERVER“ ARE DAMNED LIES. IF WE GET ARRESTED, WE HAVE TO USE OUR OWN MONEY TO GET OURSELVES OUT BUT THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY HELPED AND PAID FOR US. WHEN YOU ARE PICKED UP BY THE ANGOLAN SECURITY FORCES ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES, THE FIRST THING HAGGIE JAWARA AND HIS GANG WILL ASK IS HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU SAVE OR TELL YOUR RELATIVES TO SEND YOU THE MONEY TO PAY YOUR WAY OUT.“ „HAGGIE JAWARA AND HIS PEOPLE ARE ALSO USING THEIR DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS TO OPERATE AN ILLEGAL INTERNATIONAL MONEY TRANSFER AND LAUNDERING RACKET BETWEEN CHINA, ANGOLA AND GAMBIA“ SAYS ANOTHER BUSINESSMAN WHO PLEADED FOR IDENTITY PROTECTION WHILE EXPLAINING „IF YOU GIVE THEM MONEY TO SEND TO YOUR FAMILY IN THE GAMBIA, THEY WILL AT TIMES USE IT FOR THEIR OWN PROJECTS AND TELL YOU THE ANGOLA AUTHORITIES SEIZED IT. IF YOU COMPLAIN, THEY WILL REPORT YOU TO THE ANGOLAN IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES AND ACCUSE YOU OF ILLEGAL ENTRY. IF YOU HAVE NO STRONG PAPERS, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF. THE BITTER PART OF IT IS THAT IF YOU GO TO THE GAMBIA ON BUSINESS OR FAMILY VISIT THEY WILL REPORT YOU TO THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NIA) ON FALSE ALLEGATIONS. I KNOW GAMBIANS WHO ARE DETAINED BY THE NIA AND THEIR PASSPORTS SEIZED JUST LIKE THAT. IT IS SAD THAT OUR OWN SARAHULLEH BROTHERS ARE NOW DESTROYING ONE ANOTHER.“ NTI XANNEN HAS THE NAMES OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHOSE PASSPORTS ARE SEIZED BY THE NIA. ACCORDING TO CREDIBLE SOURCES „YANKUBA (YANKS) BADJIE IS ONE OF THE TOP NIA OFFICIALS WHO RECEIVED MONEY FROM HAGGIE JAWARA TO DETAIN PEOPLE AND SEIZE THEIR DOCUMENTS. HE AND THE NIA WILL TELL THEIR INTIMIDATED VICTIMS THAT THE ORDER CAME FROM PRESIDENT JAMMEH.“ A REGIONAL GOVERNOR WHO IS VERY CLOSE TO YANKUBA „YANK“ BADJIE TOLD NTI XANNEN THAT „PRESIDENT JAMMEH IS NOT AWARE OF THE ILLEGAL DETENTION AND DOCUMENTS SEIZURE OF SARAHULLEH BUSINESSMEN WHO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY FACE ABROAD. THE GOVERNMENT HAS CREATED A PORTFOLIO OF GAMBIANS ABROAD AND NEEDS INFORMATION FORM BOTH CITIZENS AND OFFICIALS TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THEIR NEEDS WELL. NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU FROM TALKING ABOUT THE SITUATION OF GAMBIANS IN GERMANY (REFERRING TO NTI XANNENS FOUNDER PLACE OF RESIDENCE).“ THE GOVERNOR ADDED „IT IS YOUR FELLOW SARAHULLEHS WHO ARE NOW FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND SOME SECURITY OFFICIALS NOW SEE IT AS WAY OF MAKING QUICK MONEY FROM THEM.“ HE MENTIONED THE CASE OF ONE SARAHULLEH BUSINESSMAN FROM ANGOLA (NTI XANNEN WITHHOLDS HIS NAME SINCE HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER) WHO SPOKE OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT GAMBIANS IN ANGOLA. „THE NIA KEPT HIS PASSPORT FOR MONTHS TILL HIS ANGOLAN RESIDENTIAL PERMIT EXPIRED. THE MAN HAD TO CLOSE HIS BUSINESSES BOTH IN THE GAMBIA AND ANGOLA AND LAY OF HIS STAFF AS HE COULD NO LONGER OPERATE NORMALLY. AT ONE POINT I TOLD YANKS BADJIE WHAT HE AND HIS NIA TEAM ARE DOING TO THE SARAHULLEH MAN IS A SIN BUT HE WOULD NOT LISTEN. THE MAN DID NOT BREAK ANY LAW IN THE GAMBIA OR ANGOLA, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.“ THE GOVERNOR DISCLOSED. NTI XANNEN WAS DUMBFOUNDED WHEN ANOTHER YOUNG MAN IN THE ANGOLAN CAPITAL LUANDA ASKED „HAGGIE JAWARA TOLD US HE WOULD LIKE TO CONTEST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN THE GAMBIA. HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO IS USING THE OBSOLETE KOME/GARANKE/TAGGE/SONINKE CASTE DISCRIMINATION TO MIX UP THE GAMBIAN COMMUNITY AND CORRUPT THE NIA BACK HOME, BE ELECTED AS A SERIOUS LEADER?“ STAY TUNED TO NTI XANNEN ON THE MOSQUE CRISES, IN-FIGHTS AND OTHER SELF-INFLICTED PROBLEMS OF THE GAMBIAN COMMUNITY IN ANGOLA. EDITORS NOTE: AS A PROFESSIONAL MEDIA ORGANIZATION, NTIXANNEN.COM DID ALL ITS BEST TO GET THE VERSION OF HAGGIE JAWARA ON THE ABOVE AND OTHER COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AGAINST HIM THAT WE ARE YET TO PUBLISH. HAGGIE JAWARA IS FEELING TOO BIG TO TALK TO US AND WOULD INSTEAD APPEAR ON ANGOLAN TV SHOWS TO „PROMOTE HIMSELF AND HIS BUSINESSES IN THE NAME OF THE GAMBIA.“ THE INTERESTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR NATION OF THE GAMBIA COME FIRST TO US AT NTIXANNEN.COM. WE HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HAGGIE JAWARA AND HIS PEOPLE. HE IS IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY AND SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. LAST NIGHT I STAYED AWAKE TILL 3:00 AM CET CHECKING MY FACTS AND VERIFYING THE SOURCES. I STAND BY EVERYTHING I WRITE HERE. ANOTHER ELECTION DEFEAT LIKE BASSE FOR THE APRC? As for the Jammeh Government, I have this important reminder: Like the ignored local governance crises of Basse, the Angolan crises could have serious impacts on the ruling APRC in the next parliamentary elections. My early warning signals were ignored as the APRC leadership was blindfolded by some sharks who were just interested in their positions at the detriment of the communities. The people in Basse Constituency paid back by voting against the will of APRC. If the people who claim before President Jammeh and his inner circles to be influential in our Sarahulleh Community are really worth their salt, they could have prevailed on Hon Muhammed Magassy to withdraw his independence candidacy. This defiance by the ignored and marginalized peoples is a precedent that can be copied as most of the Gambians in Angola are reportedly FRUSTRATED with the leadership in charge of their affairs. It is clear that Gambian voters especially in URR and CRR rely more on the REMITTANCES of their breadwinners abroad and than government hand outs. If the Gambian breadwinners in Angola who come from over 54 towns and villages across URR and CRR tell their people to follow the example of Basse voters in the next election, then the APRC should be ready for a defeat that will be more humiliating and psychologically damaging that the Basse one.
