Forbes magazine to cover The Gambia

Following the passing of the Africa Trade Bill last May in the US Congress,
United States and international entrepreneurs, readers of Forbes and Forbes
Global Magazine have increasingly shifted their interest towards the African
continent.

A team of Forbes Global journalists; Ms Marisa Mueller, Mr Xavier Bruneau and
Mr Germain Fauquet have arrived in Banjul to cover The Gambia in order to
prepare a full economic survey on the country. Speaking to Daily Observer,
Germain Fauquet said, "This report, which will be published in the December
25, 2000 international issue of Forbes magazine, will surely enhance
world-wide awareness in The Gambia and hence encourage sought after direct
investments in public companies of The Gambia that are earmarked for
privatisation."

Marisa Mueller added, "Our special country report will also be present online
at www.winnie.com, creating a unique multimedia report on The Gambia,
including interviews with the president, vice-president, ministers and main
players in the public and private business communities.

The growth of this country and its integration in this new era of
globalisation and internet communications makes it indispensable for The
Gambia to participate in similar reports." Forbes magazine was founded in
1916 and is regarded as the leading business magazine in the US. The
editor-in-chief of the magazine is Steve Forbes, a Republican party
presidential candidate.

Fellow Gambians, especially those in the USA, let's floods Forbes Magazine
with the true picture of Gambia and its current ragtag leaders, by unmasking
these scoundrels. Sensational journalism at the expense of massacred-school
children, will not be tolerated at any expense. Please extend your outrage to
the Editors of Forbes Magazine for undertaking such PR/DIRTY WORK for Yahya
Jammeh, instead of Gambia or Gambians.
The Movement will gather pertinent contact phone #'s, email or faxes for
Forbes magazine and will forward it to the L.
