Gambia: so far, the rainy season is tremendously spotty/delayed. This may result in poor harvests/yields. If we couple this with our obsolete farming methods, we may have a looming food shortage trouble on our hands. No food means no productivity- and essentially no life.
Gambia: the pandemic has exposed both the fragility of our food supply chain and the human vulnerabilities of our citizens. Let’s use this as an opportunity.....

At its core, the Gambian problem is this: 2 million people are collateralized for the self-serving interests of the political class and the elite monopoly capitalists. Low and behold, Gambia’s politics is hijacked. Gambia’s economy is non inclusive. Gambia is not competitive....

Gambia: the people/citizens of Gambia are its best assets. We can’t have a strong/prosperous country without the people. There’s no youth in The Gambia who wants to do bad things- they aren’t any alternatives to do great things. Access is reserved for the connected...
