ummmmm, very interesting,I am not comfortable with a leader who would say one thing and do another complete different thing. Now How would His Excellency Dr. Sheikh, Professor, Nassirudeen, oga Alhagie Yahya Abdul Aziz Jamus Junkung Jammeh realize the dream to lead us to a super power status? It is a political fallacy from someone who once hate politics? or is it just another of the professors dreams is anyone's guess. One thing is certain either in many of Yahya's aims, Mariam Jammeh or Muhammad would lead the Gambia to a super power status but definately not our curer of aids.What had happened to so called 40 ft containers of Dollars Yahya received from a late leader who hid some of his wealth in the Gambia and now that he died Yahya is enjoying it. He according to his disciples, has never taken one butut from Gambia. All his wealth came from that container. Chei Gambia! some peoples' lies can definately bring a tsunami to you from God.

Why is Yayha Jammeh begging for $23 million when he can pull a $100 million right out of his pocket to buy food for the Gambian people? Was he not the very person who outlawed begging on the streets of Banjul and had dirt poor, crippled, blind and otherwise handicapped beggars declared a nuissance, rounded up and flung onto the backs of police trucks barely two years ago? Can we then legitimately say that Yahya Jammeh and his so-called government are also a nuissance for being international beggars, even though he is one of the richest men in Africa if not the world? Is this not irrefutable evidence that this braggart of a so-called leader has totally failed to bring the "development" he likes to prate about to the Gambian people? How can a country that promises to be a super power eight years from now go a-begging for food on the world scene? The contradictions and questions are unending Mr. Frospessor and you better wake up from your self-imposed slumber before the inevitable nemesis catches up with you.
Thanks for sharing Bamba Laye

Laye, thanks for the forward. What's up with Africans and BEGGING? Why is it that when our governments plunder our meagre resources they expect others to feed their poor and marginalized? Not a bag of sand should be sent to these lowlifes. This is why it has been said that a people deserve the leaders they get. Our people went into the last elections eyes wide open. Now, after they gorged themselves those few days, they are to be slaves for the next five years. Continuing to aid mediocrity and criminality just enables these corrupt governments to continue the abuse of their peoples. Instead what any aid agency must ask, is for Yaya to go to his Allah source of funds to buy, sell, barter for food or what ever his fancy. As long as Gambians do not mind aiding their own abuse, then all is good. Providing aid to the Gambias of this world is not the solution to this manufactured situation. Each and every one of those countries listed mismanaged their country's meagre resources to the benefit of a very few. Gambians voted for Yaya and they are being served in full. Let's see if starvation will jolt them to their senses to realize that supporting for crumbs is never to their best interest. Whose money is used to buy a jet for Yaya; lavish millions of dollars annually; send thousands to Mecca; control the business environment; pay homage with the religious dealers in the country and in Senegal;buy hundreds of luxury car and villas around the world; millions to corrupt Gambian youth; millions to fund dictator summits; and on and on? It is Gambia's meagre resources and the people know it and don't give a damn as long as they can get a trinket from it.
This is not about feeding no poor, but to enable a criminal to continue to preside and abuse its people. Since independence, food aid has subsidized plenty of minister's homes and their immediate friends and families, with the poor farmer seeing zilch. All those people that descend on these SOS offices and homes are being managed with stolen resources from our coffers. Even those who never left the forest know that what these folks earn a whole year cannot properly feed their household, let alone the multitudes that hang around for trinkets. The only difference between citizens of say Japan and Gambia's is that of mindset. One works hard and demand a responsible government and the other does the opposite. No shame in their game what so ever!

Gambia says 70 pct of food harvest failed, seeks aid
Reuters | 2012-03-07 16:30:00
BANJUL - Gambia has appealed for food aid after it said that 70 percent of its crops failed during the last growing season, extending the reach of a food crisis already hitting millions of people across Africa's Sahel strip.
Gambia's agriculture ministry said the impact of poor rains last year had been exacerbated by high world food prices, crippling household incomes in the West African state, which has ridden out previous food crises.
Aid agencies have warned that some nine million people across Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad are facing another food crisis this year on the back of poor harvests, high prices, the fall in remittances and conflict.
"The post-harvest assessment of the 2011 farming season, which was characterized by below normal and poorly distributed rainfall, indicated a reduction in total crop production of more than 70 percent," Gambia's agriculture ministry said in a statement issued late on Tuesday.
The poor harvests of rice, groundnuts, millets, maize and sorghum had left villages with just two months of food supplies, down from the usual four to six, at the end of the 2011 harvest, it added.
The statement said the government could not match the needs to tackle the current food crisis and prepare farmers for the 2012 growing season and appealed for $23 million in seeds, fertilisers and food aid.
Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh, who seized power in a 1994 coup, has had a troubled relationship with donors, largely due to his country's human rights record.
The statement did not give a figure for the number of people needing food aid but officials in the agriculture ministry said just over 1 million people were in need.
Some 60 percent of the country of 1.7 million people, living in a nation completely surrounded by Senegal, are farmers.
Crops are usually planted in July and harvested in October.
