Bailo,



the key words are "jamais enregistré dans la sous région" Never before registered in the subregion. A drop in temperature of 1.4 deg. C. doesn't sound like much but the shock can affect all kinds of activities from heating to vegetable crops, fruits, ranching and fishing not to mention fragile ecosystems that were not prepared for the shock. We sometimes don't get it about environmental stewardship and global warming threats until we get these shocking episodes. Some Global Warming indicators are extremes of temperatures and rising sea-levels and its attendant groundwater salinations. Bailo this could take a book to treat properly. Suffice it to say it has been decades in the making and still going on as folk like you wont give up your Jerry-curls and cfc's, so next winter, we may see more temperature extremes in Mali, La Guinea and other parts of the world. The problem is we are ill-prepared in West Africa to absorb the shock. The uneconomic population distribution has a further drag on meteorological equilibrium. Now stop using those aerosols will ya? Haruna. You're already a beautiful man. Now go away.

Haruna,

 

"Selon les spécialistes, le baromètre avait indiqué en janvier dernier, une baisse de température de 1,4°c, jamais enregistré dans la sous région."

 

How low were the temparatures in La Guinea? 1,4 degrees Centigrade? What's that?Global warming or global cooling? Please interprete. Tou comprendez Francais. Moi? rien!

 

I will love to re-visit Conakry and go further to see the Fouta Djallon highlands, the source of the Gambia and Niger Rivers. 

 

Bailo

Mali : 20 millions GNF pour les populations victimes de froid

















Une délégation gouvernementale, conduite par le ministre de l’Environnement, M. Papa Koly Kourouma s’est rendue lundi 2 mars dernier à Mali pour compatir à la souffrance des populations de cette préfecture, suite à la vague de froid qui s’est abattue en début d’année sur la localité.

 Selon les spécialistes, le baromètre avait indiqué en janvier dernier, une baisse de température de 1,4°c, jamais enregistré dans la sous région.

A cet effet, le gouvernement a apporté une assistance d’une enveloppe de 20 millions de francs guinéens aux populations victimes de cette intempérie qui a causé d’énormes dégâts sur la culture maraîchère,  l’environnement et le cheptel. 

 En recevant ce don, le préfet de Mali, capitaine Fahindo Nikavogui a tenu à remercier le gouvernement et le chef de l’Etat pour ce geste de compassion à l’endroit des citoyens victimes de cette catastrophe naturelle.

Il a enfin réitéré la ferme adhésion des populations de Mali aux actions entreprises par le Conseil National pour la Démocratie et le Développement (CNDD) et de son président, capitaine Moussa Dadis Camara.¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html
