Dida Halake reminisce Daily Observer days
Saturday, 12 February 2011 19:34
JollofNews - Former Managing Director of the Daily Observer, Dida Halake, reflects on some of his best publications
as head of the Banjul based pro-government newspaper.“Keep getting occasionally nasty e-mails re: Observer Days - so I put together a pretty good collage - Jammeh did NOT then get FULL pages!,” writes Halake. “Neither could JT run OBSEVER from State House then - lots of SECRET recordings like the attached.”
The photo here apparently depicts a selection of four of Halake’s best front pages. It is accompanied by an audio record of a conversation the former Daily Observer Editor had with one of President Yahya Jammeh’s trusted allies (or is it former trusted allies), JT Kujabi, on a controversial report the paper was working on.

Did you not know that the regime you were hell bent on defending (during your observer days) is the same today?
i for one know that its the same. the only difference is that you have been humbled but nothing has changed in terms of policies.
people were being unjustly arrested and totured during your days as the observer chief and it's still happening today.
i have never heard you say that you regreted being the MD of the properganda machine of the Jammeh regime.
you have called Jammeh all sorts of "good names". was he lining your pocket with "sweets"?
i dont think you are trustworthy in anyway and i think the people that entertain you are doing so at their own risk (especially those that are on the bad books of Jammeh).
The events in the north show that the younger poplulation..will bypass all controls to franchise with news and internet services...to be readily informed about the best choices the modern world can bring to there lives and there future.
Someone said development is not just about roads and buildings...but personal freedom and the right to be educated and the right to make choices.
It now becomes a HIGH RISK strategy of government to restrain this international youth movement, that through exchange of ideas and knowledge
has "super energy" and ambition to study, learn and earn there way out of poverty and autocracy.
No one in Egypt wants American democracy per se...they want Egyption democracy home grown, based on national values.
America does not own democracy.
