Waa Juwara Is A Political Prostitute-UDP'S Ebrima Dibba Alleges!Dibba spill the beans.
Ebrima Dibba, a former Security officer attached to Gambia's firebrand politician Lamin Waa has accused his former political mentor and colleague Mbarodi of being a "political prostitute who is at this hour trying to sell himself to the Ruling Party." Dibba who is based in Washington Seattle, also a strong supporter of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP) charged that"Lamin waa Juwara is a political prostitute who put self interest ahead of national interest. He has betrayed the struggle by openly campaigning for the APRC candidate Essa Saidykan with the sole intention of undermining the UDP led alliance. Our party militants saw him in Niamina Dankunku, where he toured house to house calling on residents to vote for Essa. Waa is not only a political prostitute but also a desperate failed politician. It's only the APRC that's going to entertain him and not any progressive party."
Dibba who contacted this paper to air his opposition to Waa's alleged move to support the APRC candidate accuses Juwara of being too cheap to mortgage his political career over night for nothing. "What the Freedom Newspaper reported is a fact and I'm here by confirming that he is supporting the APRC candidate. The UDP harbours no grudges against Waa, but he should stop his lies against the party. Juwara's last minute association with the APRC is not going to affect the UDP in anyway. I spoke to our candidate Samba Jallow who also confirmed to me that Lamin Waa Juwara is shamelessly campaigning for the APRC candidate Essa Saidykhan. Gambians should now know what type of person Waa is. He's unprincipled and lacked morals."Dibba further fumed.
Gambia's Electoral Commission declared Wednesday as campaign proper for this year's legislative elections campaign. Candidates vying for NAM seats have started preparing for their campaign trail activities.
Mr.Dibba, a onetime Gambia Student Union propaganda secretary, for the first time has decided to send his former friend Waa Juwara to the cleaners with his wild accusations against Mbarodi." I know Waa more than any of those people trying to make noise. Waa has never been an honest person. His own uncle Sir Dawada Kairaba Jawara disowned him. He is only interested to lead when he lacked leadership qualities."
According to Ebrima Dibba,Waa Juwara made numerous attempts to offer him Executive role in his NDAM opposition party which he refuses to accept. "Waa even selected me as NDAM propaganda secretary which I declined for principle grounds. Lamin Waa Juwara's political history is not clean. He is only in for leadership and not a follower. I cannot work with such a person. He behaves as if he knows politics when he is not. I don't have respect for flip-flopping politicians like Waa."
Dibba believes that Waa Juwara had outlived his usefulness to his profession and it was time for Waa to call it quits. Waa he said, is a liability to his party,NADD and the Gambia as a nation."Waa should gracefully retire from politics since he is not delivering the goods. His own people don't like him. He failed in past elections. He is a spent force who cannot bring any votes for the APRC. Waa is not a problem to the UDP. We thought it necessary to expose him to Gambians and the outside world. He's a faked."
In this marathon interview, the controversial UDP youth wing member charged that Waa was not "sincre" with the UDP leadership. "Waa is being ungrateful with the UDP. He was bailed out from jail in 1996 by the UDP. The UDP filed a suit on his behalf to seek compensation for him since his rights were abused by the state. He was paid and he never gave any dime to the UDP. On top of that, he was provided with security. I was one of those security officers assigned to Waa. I spent months at his house guarding him. We put our lives on the line to secure him. Pa Manneh of NADD was among the security officers who used to guard Waa. There are other UDP Youth wing security officers who can attest to this fact. I cannot believe that Waa Juwara can be so ungrateful to team up with the APRC, a party that at some point wanted to kill him because of his association with the UDP. We could have been killed on our line of duty by trying to secure Waa. Waa has really let us down."
Dibba who hailed from kombo Brikama, has been a supporter of the opposition UDP way back his tender age. "I can remember in one of our meetings in Kiang, where Waa Juwara cried like a child to lament the type of torture he was exposed to by the APRC regime. If Waa can turn around to support an APRC candidate then Gambians should see him as a mad man. Waa is sick for real. We have been vindicated about our past stories about Waa's sickness."
Dibba never speared the leadership of the opposition NADD."Even NADD is opposed to his action. NADD officials should be honest with Gambians and tell us their position on Waa's conduct. They have betrayed Gambians, but history will judge them. Those trying defend Waa should shut the hell up. I have evidence to confirm that he is in Niamina Dankunku campaigning for the APRC candidate." he concluded.

![]()  SO MBARODI IS NO MORE . this all mbarodi scandal is making me uneasy . mbarodi was one time my uncles best friend. he was a controvercial man and some how fearless but age betrays personality . waa most have seen the clouds vanishing ,so he is left with only this sensiless option.waa is a close friend of one mr saidykhan from mnyamina dankunku who's first name i withheld .that mr saidykhan was one time detain with waa for political reasons. waa most be returning past favours .the mr saidykhan i am talking about is not the one contesting for nam .i will do my best to contact that mr saidykhan to confirm whether waa is actually in mnyamina.
it is all a case of mid-life crisis.
i remember Dr philips saying '' politicians believe is nothing ,they are all committed to the job,today frog tomorrow lizard.'' he said with the right money you can make a career politician say something he doesn't believe in. |

Wait a minute guys; am not defending Waa but is this the first time you guys have seen a politician like Waa cross carpeting???
Come on, don't act as if you are new to Gambian politics. What did one time most popular politician SM Dibba did and where did he end up? How about all those people in Badibu, Brikama, one time opposition strong hold Bakau, Foday Makalo and to all those political opportunist from Koina to Kartong.
People are acting as if this is new in our politics. Where have you guys all been during all the flip flopping during the Jawara days? Please give me a break and tell me something new.
If you are new to Gambian politics then please welcome to the gang of opportunist who have no principles whatsoever. I would challenge people to talk about something else besides cross carpeting and betrayal. After all what just happened to the Agenda of opposition Unity? |

Dear All,
Please read Juwara's response which is also accessed under what Nyarikang posted as "Juwara's ramblings"
Let us keep open minds about issues. Juwara made a point that he is not there to support NRP/UDP. He gave his reasons. From everything he stated, there is one point I will buy in full. That is the fact about his defection not being announced. Quite frankly, Juwara is a nationwide known political person. If he were to cross carpet to APRC, that was going to be the biggest news item over Tv, Observer, and during all party rallies. For now one must take great caution in drawing conclusions. Baldeh made it clear when he recalled the case of S M Dibba, Foday Makalo, and so many unnamed gear shifters. Banjul was a predominantly PPP stronghold. If politics was all about what some of you take it to be, people of Banjul would not have traded Pierre Njie for Sir Dawda Jawara. After Jawara now is Jammeh. Economic interest tends to overweigh political sanity. Think of it again. |

The names of so many personalities from Gambia's political galaxy take up much of the space in this thread.
Is there a primer on Gambian politics for those of us who are less familiar with all these names a "Who's Who in Gambian politics ", so that we who are less informed can do our homework and be able to follow the twists and turns even from this far - the way it is possible with Israeli or Iranian politics? |

the story as first reported did not state that he cross-carpeted to APRC but that he is supporting the Aprc's Essa Saidykhan. The later has been independently confirmed and Juwara's own cock abd bull story added more credibility to it than anything else.
Thanks |

The first and last Prime Minister was His Excellency Alhagi Sir Dawda K. Jawara [1963-1970]

And of course he was democratically elected.
I remember that in 1981 it was whilst he was attending the wedding of our Prince Charles that those other guys decided to rumble and cause him plenty of trouble and that without Senegal his ess would have been gress.
Anyway - Karamba says that at the point when Captain Jammeh took over by that blood-less coup, the Gambia was at the pinnnacle of fame as a functioning Human Rights democracy.
Why then was the coup so popular or at all necessary?
I asked Karamba the same question over a week ago but he has not seen fit to answer my query.
I trust Sir that you will do so in a clear and concise manner. |

Cornelius,
I think only the people who staged the coup could answer the question. You are quite right, it was popular amd neccessary because of disatisfaction. Otherwise there would not have been so much support. Many people taught Jammeh would continue as Jawara. He would have been out by now if he did. We need one like Jammeh in the Gambia. There are things that must be changed and I am sure this will come soon. I am sorry if some of you feel offended. In fact I would have been more taughter than Jammeh if I were to rule Gambia. Too much law breaking without any conviction. |
