Jammeh ready to help broker peace if asked

    ABIDJAN
    Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has said that if he was asked he would be willing to help broker a peace deal between Kabbah’s government and the rebels, a Gambian State House official told IRIN today. Jammeh was fielding questions at the news conference on Wednesday in the Gambian capital, Banjul, where Kabbah ended a brief visit yesterday (Wednesday), the official said. The official quoted Kabbah as saying he would welcome any offer to mediate. In October, Jammeh helped negotiate an end to the five-month civil in Guinea Bissau.
