Thanks Saiks. His politics is different from mine but I adore and honor him. He started me out in French and entomologist extraordinaire Sankung Sagnia took up from where he left off. I remembered him sending me the works of Fanon and Camus from Grenoble. Dodolinant ma tete.
Thanks again Saiks. Don't worry about Fakoo Fakoo. He's a big boy. He can take care of himself.
Haruna.

A high-powered delegation of investors from the Al-Sultanah International Holding Limited, an Omani-based firm, Wednesday arrived The Gambia for a second visit aimed at finalising agreements for potential investment in various areas.
The delegation, led by the chairman of the firm, Zakariya Al Ghassani, was received on arrival at the Banjul International Airport, by Gambian officials headed by Ebrima JT Kujabi, the country's ambassador-at-large, on behalf of the government. "This is our second visit to The Gambia. We came first to the country before and of course we were happy to meet the officials and discuss several issues in terms of cooperation between Oman and The Gambia, and our group for investment in the country. Now we are here to follow-up on the first visit and indeed carrying a lot of ideas especially in the aviation sector, oil and alternative energy," Al Ghassani told this reporter in an interview shortly after they landed at the airport.
He described this visit as a very important one for them as they intend to execute the plans they had agreed on during their previous visit. "We are here also to find out how to put the main lines for cooperation between groups, companies, the investors, the expertise and their counterparts in The Gambia," he stated. While commending President Jammeh for what he called his understanding, kindness, and for inviting them to The Gambia, the Omani investor hailed The Gambia's investment climate. He specifically pointed out the country's strategic location, and its peaceful nature as sources of attraction for potential investors.
He then expressed hope that more areas of investment would be explored when they visit again in September.Dr Suhayb Saran, another member of the delegation, and vice chairman of the firm, said: "This visit is more than a finalisation process and it is time to proceed and take action practically to start the work." He disclosed that they want to invest in three specific areas out of the five agreed upon during their first visit, notably aviation; oil exploration; and alternative energy supply and other clean energies.
Also speaking to this reporter, Ambassador Ebrima JT Kujabi, who also stood in for Gambia's ambassador to Qatar, Ansumana Jammeh, described the Omani firm delegation's second visit as very important. "They are potential investors who are determined to invest in our dear motherland. It is significant in the sense that they are interested to invest in the energy, and so on," Ambassador Kujabi said. He opined that successful investment in the aforementioned areas would greatly increase the socio-economic development of the country, as well as creating job opportunities, notably among the youth folk.
"His Excellency the president of the Republic is aware of their visit and he has set up a taskforce that would work hand-in-hand with the delegation to make sure that all what they want come true," he revealed, while expressing hope that the visit would be fruitful. The Gambia's ambassador-at-large concluded by commending Ambassador Jammeh for his efforts in facilitating the trip.
Fast becoming an investment hub
The visit of the Omani investors came hard on the heels of previous visits to the country by different potential investors from across the world. The most recent investors included those who came from the United States of America, the Gulf Emirate of Qatar, and Ukraine, amongst a host of others.
