Editor's note: As we stated from the unset of Jammeh's Announcement for finding a cure for HIV/AIDS, it was only
a matter of time before this whole false treatment scam can be exposed. Now, facts are beginning to emerge that
Jammeh's treatment has no effect and is even exposing patients to further weakness of their immune systems.
Gainako will closely monitor events in the treatment camp and will update the general public of the
developments no matter how long it takes.

Three months into Jammeh's widely publicized controversial HIV treatment, things
are not looking good for the President cum Doctor. Reliable sources from within the
treatment camp reported that one of Jammeh's patients has passed away while on his
active treatment. The decease is Saffiatou Alias Ananko died on April 2, 2007.

The report further has it that three female patients were expelled from the treatment camp due to minor
unacceptable behavior during treatment. The expulsion was handed down to Jainaba Sey; Mai Sanneh,
and Fatou Sanneh because of minor in fighting between the three female patients. Our source was
shocked with news of the expulsion especially given the seriousness of their illness as compared to the
minor offenses.

In another development, one of the patients together with her adopted child in the treatment are said to
be seriously sick and are being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of the Royal Victoria Teaching
Hospital (RVTH) in Banjul. Doctors at the ICU are faced with difficulty in treating the patients since
they are not allowed to give the antiretroviral medicine to the HIV positive patients because of
Jammeh's herbal treatment. The doctors and nurses at RVTH are apparently very confused as how to
go about treating their new patients who are serious sick especially the young child. The treatment team
is left with few options to either choose between doing what is the best treatment for the patients
medically, or yield to political pressure and let the patients go untreated. The only option then would be
to send the patients back to the Jammeh camp to continue on their herbal treatment.

This report of a young child being caught up between the Jammeh treatment and the doctors at RVTH
is quite disturbing to our reporter and many readers. Every child or their parents deserves to be given
the best medical care and treatment during illness. To deprive patients of the best treatment option is
not only ethically wrong but inhumane to say the least. This is the dilemma Jammeh's HIV/AIDS
treatment put medically trained personnel who have the moral responsibility to administer and
recommend the best treatment option for patients. It is sad that innocent people are subjected to such
degrading conditions. We extend our condolences to the decease's family.

......A FRIEND MOURNED THE
....DEATH OF FA-BAKARY NJIE
...............................By Lamin Touray, Los Angeles, California.....Posted April 15th, 2007

Dear Editor,

Please allow me to say few things about my long lost friend and now deceased Fa- Bakary Njie. I've
known him since they joined us at Saints Augustine High School Sixth form from Nusrat High School.
The guy is all around good individual; He was a personal good friend of mine during our entire two
years in the advanced level classes at Saints. He was always smiling and joking around with everyone
and during classroom hours, he has always shined in every subject. He was well respected by all his
fellow students and the faculty.

I lost touch with Fa Bakary when I left the Gambia in 1992 for the US and always thought about him. I
have actually searched for his name couple of time on the web just because I thought it could have
been nice to reunite with him as a good friend.

Yesterday, right before I left work I decided to logged on to your website and get my daily Gambian
update or maybe read brother Lama's brilliant columns and BAM! there was Fa-Bakary's Picture with
a Caption of his tragic death. I could not help but drop some tears for my good friend Fa Bakary and
May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Attached is a picture of us on "Passing out day" at Saints. He will always be in my mind as a buddy.

Thanks for the good work Gainako. Keep it up.

.........A GAMBIAN CRASHES
....TO DEATH IN SEATTLE, USA
.....................By D. Baldeh, Editor & Political Commentator, Seattle, WA......Posted April 12th, 2007

A Gambian National by the name of Fa-Bakary Njie died a tragic death early Monday morning April
9, from a motor vehicle accident. Fabakary 36, a Gambian citizen living in Seattle
Washington was on his way to work early Monday morning when he collided with a
dump truck around 7am. He was pronounced death at the scene according to king
County sheriff’s spokesman, Stg. John Urquhart.

News of Fa-Bakary’s death reached the Seattle community early Tuesday morning
when another Gambian national called one of the leaders in the community to report
a possible involvement of a Gambian national in a car crash during the early Monday
morning rush hour. The victim was transported to Haberview Medical Center in
Seattle where he was later identified as Fa-Bakary Njie.

The news of Fa-Bakary’s passing shocked the Seattle community and members of his family living in
Madison, Wisconsin. Soon after the news spread in the community like a wild fire, many enquired
about the identity of the victim and what they could do to help. Friends of Fa-Bakary and leaders of
the Seattle Gambia Association immediately started to coordinate the community to gather resources to
help transport the body back to the family in the Gambia.

Several hundred Gambians and Fa-Bakary’s coworkers gathered in a hall on Wednesday evening
April 11, to pay respect to the deceased and donate funds for the victim’s funeral arrangements here
and in the Gambia.

Many acquaintances and close friends of Fa-Bakary described him as a pious Muslim, intelligent,
brilliant, and hardworking individual. One of Fa-Bakary’s supervisors at work described him “He
always had a bright smile and a great attitude, and he will be missed very much by all who had the
opportunity to know him.”

Fa-Bakary is originally from Nuimi AlJamdu – Upper Nuimi district North Bank Division. He attended
Nusrat High School in the late 80s and proceeded to St. Augustine’s High School to complete his
Advance Level Studies. He did extremely well and had a distinction in his Ordinary level Examination
(GCE). After completing his Advanced Level studies from St. Augustine’s, he was awarded a
scholarship to study in India. He completed his Masters degree in Business Finance and Accounting
and returned to Gambia. He taught at Nusrat High School and later work for the Audit Department
before moving to Printing Department in the Gambia.

Fa-Bakary migrated to the United States few years ago where he briefly stayed in New York, and
then went to live with his uncle Abdoulie L. Drammeh in Madison, Wisconsin where he stayed until his
moved to Seattle about six months ago.

Speaking to his Uncle Mr. Drammeh earlier, he described Fa-Bakary’s death as a tragic and
devastating lost for not only his family and friends, but for the entire Gambian Nation. He said
Fa-Bakary was one of the most brilliant young intellectuals Gambia ever had. He further described
Fa-Bakary as respectful, pious and family oriented. “He loves his family and was always in touch” said
Mr. Drammeh. He is survived by both parents who still live in their native village AlJamdu in Nuimi.

If anyone wants to donate funds to the cause of Fa-Bakary’s funeral you can deposit funds to a
checking account # 646-32-664, Bank of America. The account is open by one of the decease’s close
friends, Dawda Jabang who is doing an incredible job in coordinating the transportation of the body
back to the Gambia. The family wishes to thank all those who have taken their time to pay respect to
the deceased.

Editor’s note: Thanks to the Seattle Gambia Association and the entire community in Seattle. On
behalf of the entire management of Gainako, we pay respect to a Gambian with such a charisma. May
the soul of the diseased rest in perfect peace. Amen.
