ACCRA, Ghana (PANA) - Liberia crushed Gambia 4-0 in their second leg World Cup qualifying match played at the Accra sports stadium on Sunday. The goals were scored by Robert Clarke (24th) George Oppon Weah (77th), Oliver Naker (86th) and Salensa Debbah (90th). The Liberians went through to the next round on a 5-2 aggregate having lost the first leg match in Banjul 1-2. Sunday's second leg was shifted to Accra because of the war situation in Monrovia since April 6. _________________________________________________________________ AFRICA NEWS Home Page | AFRICA NEWS CENTRAL | The Nando Times

INTRO: NIGERIA'S GOVERNMENT HAS RELEASED A PROMINENT HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST. V-O-A CORRESPONDENT PURNELL MURDOCK REPORTS FROM OUR WEST AFRICA BUREAU MANY HOPE THE RELEASE COULD SIGNAL A CHANGE IN THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY OF PROLONGED DETENTIONS WITHOUT TRIAL.
TEXT: TUNJI ABAYOMI, A LAWYER FOR FORMER NIGERIAN PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO, WAS RELEASED (SUNDAY) AFTER SPENDING NEARLY ONE YEAR IN DETENTION. MR. ABAYOMI WAS ARRESTED LAST JULY FOR PROCLAIMING HIS CLIENT INNOCENT OF CHARGES HE TOOK PART IN AN ALLEGED COUP PLOT.
MR. ABAYOMI SAID HE WAS NOT HARMED DURING HIS DETENTION, AND THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA.
MEANWHILE, THE FRENCH NEWS AGENCY REPORTS ANOTHER NIGERIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST, ABDUL ORO, HAS ALSO BEEN RELEASED. MR. ORO IS A DIRECTOR OF A CIVIL LIBERTIES ORGANIZATION IN NIGERIA.
POLITICAL OBSERVERS SAY THE RELEASE OF MR. ABAYOMI AND OTHER DETAINEES RAISES HOPES THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT WILL CHANGE ITS PRACTICE OF DETAINING INDIVIDUALS FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT A TRIAL. THEY SAY THEY ARE WATCHING TO SEE IF OTHER PROMINENT DETAINEES, SUCH AS OPPOSITION LEADER MOSHOOD ABIOLA AND HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER GANI FAWEHINMI, WILL ALSO BE RELEASED.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN UNDER PRESSURE AT HOME AND ABROAD TO FREE POLITICAL PRISONERS. TWO WEEKS AGO, IT PLEDGED TO REVIEW THE CASES OF POLITICAL DETAINEES WHEN IT ACCEPTED A REPORT BY A UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS MONITORING GROUP THAT VISITED THE COUNTRY IN APRIL.
A TOP-LEVEL NIGERIAN DELEGATION IS SET TO MEET WITH MEMBERS OF THE 56-NATION COMMONWEALTH OF FORMER BRITISH COLONIES TUESDAY IN LONDON TO EXPLAIN THE MILITARY'S PLAN TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY BY OCTOBER, 1998.
NIGERIA WAS SUSPENDED FROM THE COMMONWEALTH LAST NOVEMBER AFTER EXECUTING PROMINENT WRITER KEN SARO-WIWA AND EIGHT OTHER MINORITY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. THE EXECUTIONS WERE CARRIED OUT DESPITE INTERNATIONAL APPEALS FOR CLEMENCY. THE COMMONWEALTH RECENTLY RECOMMENDED A SERIES OF SANCTIONS AGAINST NIGERIA, BUT AGREED TO SUSPEND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION TO GIVE NIGERIA A CHANCE TO DEFEND ITS ACTIONS.
NIGERIA HAS BEEN IN POLITICAL TURMOIL SINCE THE MILITARY ANNULLED THE RESULTS OF THE 1993 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THAT WOULD HAVE RESTORED CIVILIAN RULE IN THE COUNTRY.
LAST WEEK, NIGERIA'S GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED RULES FOR THE REGISTRATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES, CONTINUING ITS SCHEDULED RETURN TO DEMOCRACY. AMONG THE REQUIREMENTS ARE THE REGISTRATION OF MORE THAN ONE-MILLION MEMBERS AND THE PAYMENT OF A SIX-THOUSAND-DOLLAR NON-REFUNDABLE REGISTRATION FEE. OPPOSITION LEADERS EXPRESSED OUTRAGE AT THE CONDITIONS, SAYING THE GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS LESS THAN ONE MONTH TO MEET THE GUIDELINES. (SIGNED)

Hello Gambia-L,
I would like to welcome all the new members, especially Heidi, who is my colleague at Christian Michelsen institute, and Francis Njie (De Guale), who was also my colleague at "St.s" . Watchout I am also a Triangle boy (88/89 A-levels).
I have been very silent lately, it is because of exams. And I started work at the University immediately after I finished my exams. I cannot get an E-mail address at work.
I would like to comment some of the staements I am reading in the net. I do not think it is a good idea to emphasis so much on ethnic bias in favour of Jammeh in the Fonis. And before going on further on this issue, is it confirmed that Jammeh is going to contest, for the Presidency. From some the postings , I got the impression that Jammeh is contesting. We should not take for granted that all Jolas will support Jammeh. I think we should try and find other explanations to the developments at home than what I will call "tribal reductionalism".
My research institute is physically seperated from the University, but I will do my best to be in touch.
Shalom.
Famara.

DAKAR, Senegal (PANA) - Africa's participation in the Olympics started with South Africa in the 1908 London games, in Britain. Egypt joined that country as Africa's second representative in the 1928 event. From 1908 to 1924 South Africa, represented only by its European population, performed well. It gained a medal in the 100-metre London competition in 1908. Four years later in Stokholm, South Africa won the marathon and Ruud Lewis, of the same country, claimed victory in the individual cycling competition. South African faired even better in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. It won gold medals in the men's 4,400-metre, 4x100-metre relay, rowing and boxing. With much less success in the 1924 Paris Games, the South Africans only won a medal in boxing. At the 1928 Amsterdam Games, the South Africans fared as well as the Egyptians. In the 110-metre hurdles South Africa's Sydney Atkinson was magnificent as was the Egyptian weightlifter, Sayedd Nosseir, who earned his country's first Olympic medal. While the two countries remained Africa's only representatives until sub-Saharan countries began to gain independence, mostly in the early 1960s, South Africa performed better than Egypt. The vast majority of African countries began participating in the Olympics from this period. The best years for Africa were 1968 in Mexico, 1988 in Seoul, Korea, and 1992 in Barcelona, Spain, where Kenyan runners creamed medals. Africans were expected to do well before Barcelona were it not for the near-absolute boycott of the 1980 Montreal Games and partial participation in the games at Moscow in 1980, Los Angeles in 1984 and Seoul in 1988. Of the 149 medals (47 gold, 48 silver and 54 bronze) won by African countries more than the half were gained in athletics, mostly in track. Ethiopia's marathon runner, Abebe Bikila, put the stamp on his country's first Olympic appearance of the 60's in Rome, Italy. Bikila gained sub-Sahara Africa's first Olympic medal, winning the marathon, in Constantine, Italy. It was here, 30 years earlier, that Italy's first dictator, Benito Mussolini, decided to invade Ethiopia. Bikila's success was the harbinger of other outstanding African Olympians. Four years later, he repeated his achievement in Tokyo, Japan, where South Africa was banned from the Olympic movement because of its racially discriminatory policy of apartheid. African athletes reached their pinnacle at the 1968 Mexico games. Kenya's Kipchoge Keino won the 1,500-metre gold. Nine of 16 African medals, three of them gold, were won by Kenyans. Tunisia solidified Africa's lead when Mohamed Gammoudi won the 5,000-metre gold. This came after he won a Certificate of Merit in the mid-long distance event four years earlier. In the 1972 Munich Olympics, African athletes equalled their 16-medals haul of Mexico. The stars, this time, were the Ugandan 400-metre hurdler, John Akii Bua, and Keino, who took the gold in the 3,000-metre steeple chase. However, Africa progress stopped with the boycott of the 1976 Montreal Games. Only Cote D'Ivoire and Senegal participated. They refused to abide by the call for the boycott made by African countries, in protest against the participation of New Zealand which had relations with apartheid South Africa. Four years later in Moscow some 20 African countries, among them Kenya, the driving force of African athletics, followed a U.S.-led boycott in protest against the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan. Ethiopia, then a close ally of the Soviet Union, took part in the games. Mirus Yfter won gold medals in the 5,000-metre and 10,000-metre races. These games were the first in which Africa won a medal in a collective event: Zimbabwean women's field hockey team. In a tit-for-tat, the Soviets refused to take park in the 1984 Los Angeles Games supported, also, by few African countries. However, those African states which participated won 13 medals, three of them gold. Kenya won just one gold medal, courtesy of Julius Korir in the 3,000-metre steeple chase. That was Kenya's poorest performance since 1968. Morocco won two gold medals with Said Aouita in the men's 5,000-metre in 13 minutes, 21 seconds and Nawal El Moutawakil on the women's 400-metre hurdles in 54.61 seconds, the first individual victory of an African woman. In the country's first Olympic winning, Gabriel Tiacoh of Cote D'Ivoire got the 400-metre men's gold while Zambia and Algeria won medals in boxing. Ethiopia was the only African nation to boycott the 1988 Seoul Games. The Kenyans bounced back from their slump with four gold medals won by Paul Ereng in the 800-metres, Peter Rono in the 1,500-metres, John Ngugi in the 5,000-metres and Julius Kariuki in the 3,000-metre steeple chase. The late Rober Wangila won gold in boxing. Africa's other gold was won by Moulay Brahim Boutayeb, 21, of Morocco. Virtually unknown before the competition, he upset Kenya, the 10,000-metre favourites. Like Cote D'Ivoire four years earlier, Senegal gained its first Olympic medal when hurdler El Hadji Amadou Dia Ba won the silver, ahead of America's Edwin Moses, in the 400-metre hurdles. Africa won 14 medals in Seoul. In 1992, in Barcelona, where virtually all of Africa was represented, women athletes stole the show. Hassiba Boulmerka became Algeria's first Olympic gold medalist. She won the 1,500-metre event. Ethiopia's Derartu Tulu was winner of 10,000-metre in an epic duel with Elena Meyer, the most talented representative and symbol of the post-apartheid South Africa. That country was reintegrated into the Olympic fold after 28 years of isolation. Kenyan athletes performed less well than usual. They carried away two gold medals won by William Tanui in the 800-metre event and by Matthew Birir in the 3,000-metre steeple chase. Kenya lost the 10,000-metre to Morocco's Khalid Skah and accused the Moroccans of unfairly helping each other. In its maiden Olympic appearance, Namibia's Frankie Fredericks won silver medals in the 100-metre and 200-metre races. In soccer, Ghana became the first African team to finish among the top three, winning the bronze. In all, Barcelona marked Africa's best Olympic performance. The continent hauled 25 medals: five gold, 13 silver, seven bronze. Now, all eyes are on Atlanta. _________________________________________________________________ AFRICA NEWS Home Page | AFRICA NEWS CENTRAL | The Nando Times

In the next to last posting by Amadou with the news report describing The History of Africa, achievement and participation in The Olympic games, it stated that Senegal gained its first Olympic medal in Seoul, 1988 with Amadou Dia Ba winning the silver. I suspect that is an error and oversight on the news report. I believe that Senegal won its first medal in 1960 with Abdou Sey coming in third and taking the bronze in the 100 meters.There was also the great Amadou Gakou in the 60's. He was the African champion in the 400 meters at the time and barely missed a medal in the 400 meters in 1968, Mexico City by finishing in fourth place. That race was swept by three African American brothers, Lee Evans, the world record holder at that time (43.8 seconds ) larry James and Vincent Freeman. Oumar, verify my facts. I believe that I am correct. Thanks Tony

By Jackson Kanneh
ACCRA, June 23 (Reuter) - World Footballer of the Year George Weah gave war-ravaged Liberia's World Cup dreams a boost on Sunday, steering the Lone Stars national team to a 4-0 victory over Gambia in Ghana's capital Accra.
Liberia, denied the advantage of a home leg by factional fighting in their capital Monrovia in April and May, eliminated Gambia from the competitition after wiping out a 2-1 Gambian lead from the June 1 first leg in Banjul.
``Thank God we have something to show to the world that is positive about Liberia,'' Weah told Reuters after the African zone first round second leg qualifier.
``We hope to keep the momentum going,'' added the 29-year-old AC Milan striker, some of whose players ran the gauntlet of gunmen at home in May to join the squad.
Weah, who has paid an estimated $50,000 to finance the team's World Cup campaign to date, masterminded Sunday's win.
Having assembled the squad of 13 home and 10 Europe-based players, he scored one goal himself, laid on another and was all over the pitch, featuring prominently in midfield and defence.
Robert Clarke, who plays for French second division club Grenoble, opened the scoring against the run of play with a header from a cross by Weah in the 25th minute.
The two sides remained level on aggregate until well into the second half when Weah headed home a cross from his cousin James Debbah in the 79th minute.
Eight minutes later Oliver Makor, who plays for German second division Saarbruecken, struck a spectacular shot from outside the penalty box. Gambia's goalkeeper, caught off guard, dived too late and hit his head on a goal post, requiring first aid.
Debbah, who plays for French first division Nice and scored Liberia's only first leg goal with a penalty, rounded off Sunday's victory with a goal just before the final whistle.
FIFA, soccer's governing body, voted Weah Player of the Year and he was 1995 African and European Player of the Year.
Jubilant team mates and supporters carried him shoulder-high from the pitch on Sunday and later from the stadium.
``I must congratulate my boys who stood gallantly in defence of their country,'' he said afterwards.
Freed American slaves set up Liberia in 1847 but six years of civil war have killed more than 150,000 people. Soccer is probably the one unifying factor in the faction-ridden country.
Calm returned to the capital Monrovia at the end of May when West African peacekeepers were deployed throughout the city after seven weeks of factional fighting.
But with much of the city devastated by the fighting and an orgy of looting by rampaging gunmen, Weah and the team opted to play Sunday's return leg in Accra.
An estimated 25,000 people watched the match, many of them Liberian exiles and refugees who travelled from neighbouring Ivory Coast and Togo for the match.
Liberia advance to the Africa zone's next qualifying round, which begins in August.
FIFA has yet to make the draw but Sunday's win raised the spirits of Liberia's refugees, some of whom have been shunned by West African neighbours tired of the civil war.
``We have been overlooked but from today we have a standing in Ghana,'' one commented afterwards.

In the next to last posting by Amadou with the news report describing The History of Africa, achievement and participation in The Olympic games, it stated that Senegal gained its first Olympic medal in Seoul, 1988 with Amadou Dia Ba winning the silver. I suspect that is an error and oversight on the news report. I believe that Senegal won its first medal in 1960 with Abdou Sey coming in third and taking the bronze in the 100 meters.There was also the great Amadou Gakou in the 60's. He was the African champion in the 400 meters at the time and barely missed a medal in the 400 meters in 1968, Mexico City by finishing in fourth place. That race was swept by three African American brothers, Lee Evans, the world record holder at that time (43.8 seconds ) larry James and Vincent Freeman. Oumar, verify my facts. I believe that I am correct. Thanks Tony

Hi, everybody, Thanks,Abdou and Tony, I am back on the list. I agree with you Tony, Amadou Dia Ba is quite recent in the history of Senegalese medalists in the Olympic Games. Things are very blurred in my mind as to what event was referred to in 1960. I think it was the first all-Africa Game (Les Jeux de l'Amitie).Amadou Gakou was a medalist as you said in 400m but it's so blurred in my head. Concerning the scholarly project I talked about in my previous posting, I want to inform Siga that it is based in Senegal, Dakar in particular.Since she will be in Dakar , I will be very happy to get her associated with the project and with a few others which are under way. An important project known as "R.E.D."(The Regional Electronic Database ) is under serious consideration by WARC and different partners to help develop a network bringing together West African documentation specialists,U.S bibliographers and scholar-technicians in 1996 to begin the process of data collection and transfer of information. Another project: as a follow-up to the multi-disciplinary seminar held in Dakar on "La Ville Ouest Africaine", we are developing a regional project that would address issues surrounding the process of urbanization in West Africa.The project will terminate in Summer 1998 with conclusions drawn and policy recommendations made.This project will be hosted by WARC in Dakar .The Center hopes to invite a representative from each West African country for a one week seminar at a date to be announced. A third project is launched by WARC in Dakar in conjunction with Howard University and the Smithsonian.It is an international Symposium on "West Africa and the Global Challenge".Included among the subthemes of the Symposium will be "The African Diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean", "West African Research",and "Cotemporary Issues as a Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Fulbright Program". For further information ,send a message to Dr Leigh Swigart ,director of WARC,Dakar<swigart@warc.warc.sn>. Jeanne Maddox Toungara, professor of History at Howard University is also a good contact for some of our friends who are in Washington ,D.C.,. Letters have been sent to all West African Learning Centers to seek participation in the project. Anybody interested,send a message to Leigh and let me know. Bye Oumar\Senegal

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 22 Jun 1996 12:30:03 PDT From: Reuters <C-reuters@clari.net> Newsgroups: clari.world.africa.western Subject: Gambia repossesses privatised company
BANJUL, June 22 (Reuter) - Gambia's military government has repossessed the Gambia Oilseeds Processing and Marketing Company, formed in 1993 from the privatisation of the core assets of the Gambia Produce Marketing Board. The ministry of trade, industry and employment on Saturday said that the government had decided on the move ``in the paramount interest of the nation''. The Gambia Produce Marketing Board was until 1990 the monopoly exporter of groundnuts. Business sources said that investors from Ireland brought its core assets when it was privatised. ``The assets have not been optimally utilised contrary to the expectation of the government and Gambians at large,'' a ministry statement said. The statement made no mention of arrangements for compensation. A 1994 military coup strained relations between Gambia and its former partners in the West. A timetable to return the country to civilian rule by July has slipped behind schedule. Presidential elections are now planned for September 11.

RE>Gambia repossesses privatized company* = 6/27/96
Hi Fellas, Once again, the incompetence of our Military Junta has been highlighted = by its move to expropriate the Gambia Oilseeds Company. The Ministry's = statement should have read " in the paramount interest of enriching = government bureaucrats and military personnel" When the rest of the world = states are accelerating the pace of privatizing their state industries, = the Gambia is moving in the opposite direction. Well, I suppose the govern= ment can now kiss good bye to all those foreign investors who are = contemplating investing in the Gambia. And more seriously, the ones = already there, I'm sure, are now beginning to pack their bags. One other thing I can read from this is, maybe the Junta is running out = of money and are going after whatever they can lay their hands on. I wonder and I wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: 6/26/96 8:03 PM To: Jallow, YaYa From: gambia-l@u.washington.edu

INTRO: TWENTY-THREE POLITICAL GROUPS IN NIGERIA HAVE MET THE FIRST DEADLINE IN WHAT SOME CRITICS HAVE CALLED A COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE REGISTRATION PROCESS. OUR WEST AFRICA CORRESPONDENT PURNELL MURDOCK REPORTS THE GROUPS ARE REGISTERING AS POLITICAL PARTIES IN PREPARATION FOR NIGERIA'S MULTI-PARTY ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR 1998.
TEXT: POLITICAL GROUPS IN NIGERIA HAD UNTIL WEDNESDAY TO PAY A NON-REFUNDABLE APPLICATION FEE OF SIX-THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT IS ONLY THE FIRST OF MANY REQUIREMENTS THE GROUPS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS A LEGITIMATE POLITICAL PARTY.
TO BE FORMALLY REGISTERED, EACH GROUP MUST HAVE A MEMBERSHIP OF AT LEAST 40-THOUSAND PEOPLE IN EACH OF NIGERIA'S 30 STATES, PLUS 15-THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE FEDERAL CAPITAL REGION OF ABUJA. EACH GROUP ALSO MUST HAVE MEMBERS IN AT LEAST TWO-THIRDS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN EACH OF THE 30 STATES, AS WELL AS ITS NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS IN ABUJA.
AMONG THE GROUPS MEETING THE WEDNESDAY DEADLINE ARE THE "PROGRESSIVE PEOPLES PARTY," WHICH INCLUDES MEMBERS OF SOME LEADING OPPOSITION GROUPS; AND THE "COMMITTEE FOR NATIONAL CONSENSUS," WHOSE MEMBERS ARE TOP ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS.
CRITICS OF THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT SAY THE REGISTRATION PROCESS WAS PURPOSEFULLY SET UP TO BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE. THEY SAY THE GOVERNMENT GAVE POLITICAL GROUPS ABOUT ONE WEEK TO COME UP WITH THE SIX-THOUSAND-DOLLAR REGISTRATION FEE AND ONLY ONE MONTH TO REGISTER MORE THAN ONE-MILLION MEMBERS.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SAY THE RESPONSE TO THE SHORT DEADLINE HAS BEEN POSITIVE. BUT THEY CAUTIONED THE 23 POLITICAL GROUPS WHO HAVE PASSED THE FIRST HURDLE NOT TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES AS IF THEY WERE ALREADY REGISTERED.
NIGERIA HAS BEEN IN POLITICAL TURMOIL SINCE 1993, WHEN THE MILITARY ANNULLED THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THAT WOULD HAVE RESTORED CIVILIAN RULE IN THE COUNTRY.
LAST OCTOBER, MILITARY RULER GENERAL SANI ABACHA ANNOUNCED A THREE-YEAR TIMETABLE FOR HANDING OVER POWER TO A CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT. WESTERN NATIONS, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN, HAVE BEEN PRESSURING THE MILITARY TO SPEED THE PROCESS, SAYING A THREE-YEAR TRANSITION PERIOD IS TOO LONG.
BUT THE MILITARY SAYS HIGH TURNOUTS FOR NIGERIA'S MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN MARCH AND THIS WEEK'S REGISTRATION PROCESS INDICATE POPULAR SUPPORT FOR THE TRANSITION PROGRAM. SIMILAR POLLS WITH THE NEW POLITICAL PARTIES ARE TO TAKE PLACE BY THE END OF 1996, FOLLOWED BY STATE ELECTIONS IN 1997. (SIGNED)

DATE=6/27/96 TYPE=BACKGROUND REPORT NUMBER=5-33666 TITLE= RWANDA / TUTSI SURVIVOR BYLINE=WILLIAM EAGLE DATELINE=KIGALI CONTENT= VOICED AT:
///// ED'S: BKG IS UNVOICED. ACTS AVAILABLE FROM SOD. /////
INTRO: FOR SURVIVORS OF RWANDA'S GENOCIDE THE FUTURE IS UN-CERTAIN, AND MEMORIES OF THE PAST HAUNT THEIR DAILY LIVES. MORE THAN 500-THOUSAND MODERATE HUTU AND MINORITY TUTSI WERE SLAUGHTERED IN 1994, AS HUTU EXTREMISTS TRIED TO HOLD ON TO POWER IN THE CENTRAL AFRICA NATION. V-O-A'S WILLIAM EAGLE IS IN KIGALI AND HAS THIS STORY OF ONE ONE SURVIVOR, WHO WAS ON HOLIDAY VISITING HIS FAMILY IN A SMALL VILLAGE WHEN THE GENOCIDE BEGAN.
TEXT: THE RADIO RWANDA ANNOUNCEMENT ON APRIL SIXTH STUNNED JEAN-CLAUDE MUGENZI (MOI-YEN-ZEE) AND HIS FAMILY. THE PLANE CARRYING HUTU PRESIDENT JUVENAL HABYARIMANA HAD JUST BEEN SHOT DOWN. THE RADIO BLAMED TUTSI REBELS BASED IN NEIGHBORING UGANDA -- THE RWANDA PATRIOTIC FRONT. THE RADIO URGED ALL HUTU TO FIGHT. JEAN-CLAUDE REMEMBERS IT VIVIDLY.
/// MUGENZI ACT ///
FIRST, THEY SAID, THERE IS A PLANE CRASH. IT HAS BEEN SHOT DOWN BY THE R-P-F AND THE BELGIANS. THE R-P-F IS TUTSI. THE TUTSIS KILLED OUR PRESIDENT. SO, WE SHOULD KILL THEM TOO. WHEN WE HEARD THAT WE KNEW THAT WAS OUR END.
/// END ACT ///
JEAN-CLAUDE KNEW HE COULD NOT RETURN TO HIS GOVERNMENT JOB IN KIGALI. THE CAPITAL WAS THE MAIN BASE OF THE HUTU EXTREMIST INTERAHAMWE MILITIA.
/// OPT /// HIS PARENTS HAD TOLD HIM OF THE ANTI-TUTSI MASSACRES SHORTLY AFTER THE FALL OF THE TUTSI MONARCHY MORE THAN 35-YEARS AGO. IF HISTORY WERE TO REPEAT ITSELF, KIGALI WOULD BE THE LIKELY PLACE. /// END OPT ///
JEAN-CLAUDE DECIDED TO STAY WITH HIS PARENTS AND FOUR SIBLINGS AT THE FAMILY HOME IN THE GITARAMA PREFECTURE WEST OF THE CAPITAL. THEY WERE ONE OF ABOUT 15 TUTSI FAMILIES IN A HILLSIDE COMMUNE OF NEARLY 200 HUTU. ANY SENSE OF SAFETY AWAY FROM THE CAPITAL WAS SHORT-LIVED. ANTI-TUTSI MASSACRES SPREAD TO JEAN-CLAUDE'S HOME COMMUNE WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE PRESIDENT'S ASSASSINATION.
THE FAMILY DECIDED TO FLEE SOUTH FOR THE BISHOP'S HOUSE AT KABGAYI. THEY HAD ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH TWO NEIGHBORING COMMUNES WHEN HUTU MILITIAS INTERRUPTED THEIR PLANS, AS JEAN-CLAUDE RECALLS.
/// MUGENZI ACT ///
THE HUTU SAID, WE ARE GOING TO EAT AGAIN. IT WAS A KIND OF EXPRESSION SAYING, WE ARE LUCKY AGAIN, WE HAVE CAUGHT SOMETHING AGAIN. IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE A HUNT. WHEN YOU ARE HUNTING AND YOU CATCH SOMETHING YOU ARE VERY GLAD. THEY IMMEDIATELY [RECOGNIZED] MY FATHER. THEY WOULD SAY, THIS IS MUGENZI THE POET, THE LAWYER, WE KNOW YOU. THESE INTELLECTUALS ARE THE ONES WHO WILL FINISH US.
/// END ACT ///
THE FAMILY WAS BEATEN, ROBBED, AND FINALLY ESCORTED BACK TO THEIR VILLAGE.
FOR MANY TUTSI -- THE HUTU COULD BE BOTH EXECUTIONERS AND SAVIORS. SUCH WAS THE CASE WITH THE MUGENZI FAMILY. THE HUTU GROUP LEADER THAT TOOK CHARGE OF THEM ALSO KNEW JEAN-CLAUDE'S FATHER.
/// MUGENZI ACT ///
(MY FATHER) USED TO BE FRIENDLY WITH THE PEOPLE AND INVITE THEM WHENEVER THERE WAS A PARTY. HE GAVE SOME LAND WHEN THEY COULD NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE ELSE. SMALL THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT THAT PAID OFF LATER ON. I CAN TELL YOU WE WERE SAVED BECAUSE MY FATHER WAS SO GOOD. EVERY TUTSI KNEW A HUTU WHO COULD HIDE HIM OR HELP HIM. BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MOST OF THEM WERE KILLED BY THEIR VERY FRIENDS.
/// END ACT ///
THE HUTU GROUP LEADER ASSURED HIS FOLLOWERS HE WAS PLANNING THE RIGHT TIME TO KILL THE FAMILY. INSTEAD, HE HID THEM IN HIS HOUSE FOR TWO WEEKS. BUT UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE FROM OTHER HUTU, HE GAVE THE FAMILY A CHOICE -- LEAVE, OR DIE. FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, THE FAMILY HID AMONG PLOTS OF SORGHUM AND BANANA TREES. SOMETIMES, PEOPLE WOULD BRING THEM FOOD AND MILK.
INTERAHAMWE MILITIAS AND THE HUTU-CONTROLLED RWANDAN ARMY CAUGHT UP WITH THE MUGENZI FAMILY WITHIN SIX-WEEKS. IT WAS NEARLY THREE-MONTHS AFTER THE THE START OF THE APRIL GENOCIDE -- AND TUTSI-LED REBELS OF THE RWANDA PATRIOTIC FRONT WERE ABOUT TO TAKE THE CAPITAL.
JEAN CLAUDE RECALLS HOW HIS HUTU CAPTORS KILLED HIS FATHER AND BROTHERS AND HOW HE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WERE SAVED BY THE ARRIVAL OF REBEL SOLDIERS.
/// MUGENZI ACT ///
(THE HUTU MILITIAS) THEY STARTED BY KILLING THE OTHERS [MY FATHER AND BROTHERS] WITH KNIVES. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, THE R-P-F SOLDIERS [ARRIVED], THEY OPENED FIRE. THEN THE [HUTU] ONES WHO HAD GUNS THEIR LEADER TOLD THEM, YOU OPEN FIRE ON THEM, TOO. HE MEANT ON US. SO THEY OPENED FIRE. THEY TOLD ME TO LIE ON MY CHEST. THEY WERE BEHIND ME. THEY SHOT ME IN THE ARM.
/// END ACT ///
JEAN-CLAUDE LAY STILL AS HIS HUTU ATTACKERS AND THE R-P-F EXCHANGED FIRE. HE GOT UP WHEN HE HEARD TUTSI FIGHTERS ARRIVING. AMONG THE DEAD LYING AROUND HIM WERE HIS FATHER AND BROTHERS. HIS MOTHER AND TWO SISTERS SURVIVED.
/// MUGENZI ACT ///
AT THE END OF THE WAR THE SIGHT OF A HUTU WAS SICKENING ME. I STILL HAD A BULLET WOUND. I WAS VERY ANGRY BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE I HAD LOST. I USED TO WISH EVERY HUTU WAS KILLED, BUT NOW I REALIZE HOW THINGS MUST BE. I TELL MYSELF EVEN IF I HAD THE POWER TO KILL THEM I SHOULD NOT BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND THEM.
/// END ACT ///
JEAN-CLAUDE SAYS IT IS FEAR AND MISTRUST THAT UNITE HUTU AND TUTSI TODAY.
/// BEGIN OPT /// HE SAYS HE WILL NOT EVEN PUBLICIZE HIS ADDRESS FOR FEAR HUTU NEIGHBORS FROM HIS HOME COMMUNE COULD COME TO SILENCE HIM AS A WITNESS TO THE KILLINGS. /// END OPT ///
HE SAYS ALL THE KILLERS MUST BE JUDGED BEFORE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION CAN TAKE PLACE. BUT HE SAYS NO PUNISHMENT CAN EQUAL THE PAIN HE LIVES WITH EVERY DAY. (SIGNED)

Here are the predictions of the July 4th Soccer Tournament. By the way, why is Atlanta playing Senegal twice?
Atlanta vs Senegal 0:2 Washington vs Carolina 1:0
Dallas vs Senegal 1:1 (4-5) penalties Washinghton vs Miami 3-2
Atlanta vs Senegal 1:1 (5-4) penalties Miami vs Carolina 1:0
Finals:
Washington vs Miami 2-1
Washington will prevail once more. Atlanta could make the finals if they play BALL. Senegal is another favorite that could be a possibe winner.
For all those Soccer Fans, send in your comments to make this more exciting!

Hi Folks, Omar Gaye, based in Norway , is no longer with the list as his server is refusing to accept his mail presumably because he no longer has an account with them. It would be nice if those who know him were to tell him that he can write to anyone on the list to have his address relisted. Secondly, a member of the list inadvertently had the list address as his return address. If you know a person by the name of "Hollis", I have some mail for you (the mail was rejected by the server). I would also strongly advise member to have either my address or Tony's written somewhere in case they are delisted for some reason. As one of us learnt last week, once you are delisted, you CANNOT send mail to the list. Your only recourse would be to send mail to someone on the list and ask that you be relisted. There are backups to avoid this but of course the backups do occasionally fail. Lastly, I wrote to Tombong Saidy last week opposing his work and the "government" he represents. He wrote me back a very interesting defense. I would like to share this reply with you but I cannot do so without his consent as he had no reason to expect that his reply would be in the public domain. I would also like to invite him to the list if there are no objections. As some of you remember, the idea of inviting Saidy and "government" officials had been vetoed in past by some members who were uneasy with having "officials" privy to their opinions. I was one of those but I have had a change of opinion since then. I await your response, -Abdou.

I received a copy of the Constitution from Latjorr today and I want to thank him for making it available. I will send it to my sister Sarian, who will then try and scan it to Gambia-l making it available to everybody on the list. It is about 110 pages. Thanks Tony

I do not think we should shut the door on anybody's face. Tombong as well as any other government official should be let in, as this will give them a better avenue to defend their actions according to the codes and ethics of Gambia-L. If they reject this then they can be kicked out''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''but knowing Tombong I'm sure he will be professional about it>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Baboucarr Sillah

RE>>House-cleaning = 6/28/96
Fellas, Although I was not privy to the earlier vote on admitting government = officials to the list, it is nonetheless, an important question for Abdou = to raise again. Clearly, we ought to balance the freedom of access to the = list with security concerns of list members. While the ideal world would = be to allow unlimited access and free flow of information, we are all = aware of the reality of the notoriety of state governments particularly = those under a military reign. And the one in Gambia is no exception. So I = suggest we do it on a case by case basis depending on what type of a = government official we are talking about. For example, most of us would = have no qualms over, say a Financial analyst at the Ministry of Finance, = joining the list, but we would all be raising eye brows if someone from = the NIA or the State House were to be on the list.

Gambia-l:
I raised the question of admitting Tombong and, perhaps, other government officials/representatives to the list. I still see no problem with it and I am glad that Abdou has had a change of mind on the issue. The point that we should assess the subscription requests on a case-by-case basis is also very important. You should be aware that government agents don't necessarily have to subscribe to know what we are saying on this list if they are determined to get the information. Afterall, we may be able to enlighten even the most ardent supporters of militarism on a few things.
On other matters: a Brian Hubbard has been added to the list. His username is "Babanding." We expect a formal introduction from him.
Salaam! Amadou

DATE=6/28/96 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT NUMBER=2-199452 TITLE=RWANDA / HUTU BOUNTY (L ONLY) BYLINE=CHRIS TOMLINSON DATELINE=KIGALI CONTENT= VOICED AT:
INTRO: A NEW RWANDAN HUTU EXTREMIST GROUP CLAIMS TO BE OPERATING INSIDE RWANDA IN AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE PRESENT TUTSI-LED GOVERNMENT. CHRIS TOMLINSON IN KIGALI REPORTS THE GROUP IS OFFERING A REWARD TO THOSE WHO KILL AMERICANS.
TEXT: U-N AND U-S OFFICIALS ARE WARNING AMERICANS LIVING AND WORKING IN RWANDA TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS AFTER A HUTU REBEL GROUP ANNOUNCED A BOUNTY FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS.
THE GROUP, THE PEOPLE IN ARMS FOR THE LIBERATION OF RWANDA -- OR PALIR -- OFFERED 15-HUNDRED DOLLARS TO ANYONE WHO KILLS THE U-S AMBASSADOR TO RWANDA OR ONE-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE MURDER OF AMERICANS LIVING HERE.
THE PALIR STATEMENT, WHICH WAS ISSUED IN NAIROBI ON THURSDAY, SAID THE GROUP WOULD START ITS WAR AGAINST THE RWANDAN PATRIOTIC FRONT GOVERNMENT BY URGING HUTUS TO ATTACK AMERICANS, IN RETALIATION FOR THE U-S GOVERNMENTS SUPPORT OF THE TUTSI-CONTROLLED GOVERNMENT
THE U-S EMBASSY IN KIGALI ISSUED A STATEMENT CALLING ON AMERICANS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS, BUT SAID THEY SHOULD CARRY ON WITH THEIR NORMAL ACTIVITIES. THE STATEMENT SAID THE EMBASSY IS TAKING THIS THREAT, LIKE ALL OTHERS, SERIOUSLY.
U-N AGENCIES ARE REVIEWING THE DEPLOYMENT OF AMERICANS INTO THE WESTERN PORTION OF RWANDA WHERE REBEL ACTIVITY HAS INTENSIFIED IN RECENT WEEKS. AMERICAN WORKERS MAY BE ASKED TO REMAIN INSIDE THE CAPITAL WHICH HAS BEEN SO FAR UNTOUCHED BY REBEL RAIDS.
INSURGENTS HAVE CONDUCTED CROSS-BORDER ASSAULTS INTO RWANDA SINCE THE FORMER GOVERNMENT WAS DRIVEN INTO EXILE IN MID-1994. FORMER GOVERNMENT SECURITY FORCES AND CIVILIAN MILITIAS KILLED MORE THAN 500-THOUSAND PEOPLE IN 1994 IN A STATE-SPONSORED GENOCIDE AGAINST ETHNIC TUTSIS AND POLITICALLY MODERATE HUTUS.
TUTSI-LED REBELS STOPPED THE KILLING AND THE FORMER GOVERNMENT FLED TO ZAIRE WITH ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF RWANDA'S POPULATION. THE INTERNATIONALLY FUNDED REFUGEE CAMPS HAVE BECOME HOTBEDS OF EXTREMIST ACTIVITY AND BASES FOR THE REBELS.
PALIR MADE ITS FIRST APPEARANCE JUNE FIRST WITH A STATEMENT FAXED TO NEWS AGENCIES IN NAIROBI. AND INSURGENTS HAVE SINCE LEFT PALIR LEAFLETS ON THE BODIES OF THEIR VICTIMS. THE GROUP ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE A BASE PERMANENTLY LOCATED INSIDE RWANDA. BUT A RWANDAN MILITARY SPOKESMAN HAS DENIED THIS CLAIM, SAYING ZAIRE CONTINUES TO BE THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF REBEL ACTIVITY.
U-S OFFICIALS HAVE PROPOSED CUTTING OFF AID TO THE CAMPS BECAUSE THEY DESTABILIZE THE REGION AND THE U-N REFUGEE AGENCY WANTS TO MOVE THE CAMPS AWAY FROM THE BORDER. BUT OBSERVERS SAY RECENT ATTACKS ON AID WORKERS AND ZAIRIAN SECURITY FORCES IN THE CAMPS CALLS INTO QUESTION WHETHER THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY CAN ANY LONGER CONTROL THEM. (SIGNED)
