If Predident Jammeh does deport all foreigners due to this rice deal or for not accepting the dalasis then he is prescribing his down fallwhich I am sure he will not do so . it may just be a hype to scare the price gowgers or unscupolous traders
secondly as far as the baot load of rice ,I am certain there will be tax/dutyexemption due to the impending famine but what I am afraid of is that half of it will go to the Senegal by smuglers who legitimately bought the rice in CFA to guarantee them a sale.
I hope the authorities will ensure that this time the poor folks get their share first.
ps excuse any spelling errors
