My 'speculations' were not off the mark then Kay. Here is a reply to the Observer letter from the man himself, Koukoie. Courtesy of The Gambia Journal:


http://www.thegambiajournal.com/Top-News-and-Analyses/576.html


"In a nutshell the truth of the matter is that it was Jammeh himself who requested and organized Koukoie’s visit based on tribal lines (Jola) and not on national interest but the motive behind this step was attempts to physically eliminate Koukoie as you can see in the case with Koukoie’s kidnapping in Guinea Bissau (paying over two billion five hundred million Cfa francs, 45 Jeeps 4X4 and 500.000 tons of rice from the Gambian tax payers money to the late President Joao Bernado Nino Vieira, late Defense Minister Helden Proenca Tavarez Mendez, late Interior Minister Basirou Darboe, General Jose Boubou Nachuta marines chief of staff now living in Banjul under Jammeh’s protection all within the Guinea-Bissau government, his criminal marabout of Pakau Jannaba Adama Souvane living in HLM Nimza Dakar and the merchant of death Commandant Malick Cisse also living in Dakar) and numerous Jammeh financed failed plans to assassinate Koukoie in Dakar, La Cote D’Ivoire, Mali and Burkina Faso which is evidently crystal clear that was not in the interest of the Gambian people but him alone in his attempts to remain in power for the next 40 years to come."


The man has generously authenticated the letter for us.

Thanks Shaka, but I couldn't read the whole paper.
However, where is the so-called "Wade's plot against the Gambia"?

Put the following recaps from the Observer letter in whatever order you like, if they do not indicate a 'plot to destabilize' by Wade and a dissident Gambian failed putschist with a known ambition to detrone Jammeh by any force necessary then there certainly is a new meaning to the phrase.


"Since our last meeting at State House with your former Prime Minister, Idrissa SECK, and Mr. Cheick Tijan Gadio, Minister of Foreign Affairs during which you requested that we work and cooperate hand in hand"


"I was cut off from all contacts with you and I had neither the coordinates nor the means to contact your two collaborators whom you requested to work with me"


"Our main preoccupation today is how to do away with the coup bandit in The Gambia; bring lasting peace in Cassamance, and with seriousness, start the process of negotiation for united Senegambia"


"For security reasons I could not make noise so that you would be aware of the difficult situation that Commandant Malick CISSE created just to prevent me from seeing you because he has betrayed you by sitting on the small amount of money you gave to ease my travels and contacts with other Gambian compatriots, for the preparation of a concrete programme of action to facilitate the agreed operation"


"my enemies are trying to stop me from meeting you to reveal the secrets and truth about their machinations to abort our pan-Africanist plan and programme of integrating The Gambia and Senegal"


"Also, this plan for the unification of Gambia and Senegal, will give you the opportunity to remain at the head of the unified Senegambian state for two mandates"

SHAKA, you cannot build your case using a document (the letter published by the Daily Observer) that both you and I have agreed is unauthentic. Did you see that you are making a circular argument by refering back to the same document (source) that you were unable to prove authentic in your earlier argument. You have forwarded a new document to me allegedly from Kukoie, and in the document I did not see any corroboration of the "Wade plot". Instead of corroborating with new evidence, you are refering me back to the old Daily Observer letter that is already rejected as unauthentic...
My position is that since your entire argument (case) rests on the letter published by the Daily Observer which up to now remains unauthentic, the whole argument or case cannot stand.

But here is Essa Bokarr Sey's analysis also; and I do not often agree with Mr. Sey:

No Kay, you and i have not agreed that the Observer letter was unauthentic. There is a clear difference between my previous stance of 'not authenticating neither discounting authenticity' and your stance that the letter is 'unauthentic' despite the fact that you have no proof against the contrary, except for the niggling doubt of how the letter came into the possession of the Observer. Since the publication of the Koukoie letter on the Gambia Journal my position have shifted more to the 'letter is authentic.' Regarding any attempt to corrobarate a Wade plot or its lack in the Gambia Journal letter, common sense tell me Koukoie would be the most stupid man on the planet to directly implicate his benefactor of many years in this scandal, considering the fact that Wade had remained mute and had not sullied his character in any way. All indication from the Gambia Journal letter however is, that Koukoie could not deny the letter but is rather saying to Jammeh 'if you tried to be my would-be patron all those years why should Wade not be? What you tried to do to destabilised Senegal, Wade can also do against the Gambia.' That being said said, it is a knowned fact in both the Gambia and Senegal that Wade entertained and sponsored Koukoie for various engagements. I do not need the observer letter to tell me that. Remember i could tell from the Observer letter in French on the first day of the letter's publication that it was an alleged Koukoie letter even before it was signed off as Koukoie's or translated into English the next day. As for Essa Bokar Sey, if you can decipher his writings can you please decode? I tried man.
