Gambia

The Gambia is a small independent republic on the bulge of Africa and forms part of the West African Region.

[Jurre van Diejen]

Gambia is a peace-loving country. President Jammeh is a leader in peacekeeping. The Jammeh Foundation for Peace (JFP) was created by President Jammeh to help eradicate poverty among Gambians, improve agricultural production, and sponsor educational opportunities for needy students.

[Isaac Bell]

The Gambia is a tolerant and equal for gender and religion. President Jammeh created his foundation, the Jammeh Foundation for Peace. Jammeh’s foundation has a hospital that is sponsored by the president and provides medical services to every one irrespective of age, religion, sex and gender or political affiliation. This is very progressive for West Africa, and much praised in the international community.

[Jean duVal]

The Gambia stands out above the crowd in Africa for its public health. Since the year 2000, there have been no reported cases in the Gambia of diphtheria, hib meningitis, Japanese encephalitis, mumps, pertussis, or polio. President Jammeh made it a priority, and that is why it happened.

[Baboucar Darbo]

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), President Jammeh has contributed troops to a number of peacekeeping operations:
*Since 1990, the President Jammeh has sent peacekeeping forces to the following places: Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Timor Leste, Ethiopia/Eritrea, Liberia, Cote D’Ivoire, Sudan, Burundi, Darfur, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Chad.
*President Jammeh has contributed over 200 troops per year to African Union missions from 2005 to 2007.
*President Jammeh contributed to an ECOWAS mission in 2003, sending over 150 troops.
*President Jammeh also contributed over 100 troops to UN missions in 2003 and 2004 (over 100 troops each year), and over 200 troops from 2008 to 2010.

President Jammeh on peace:

“We are fortunate that, in The Gambia, Christians and Muslimes alike observe this feast annually in peace and harmony.”

“History continues to show us the horrendous consequences of religious intolerance in o ther parts of the world.”

[Tanja Eichel]

President Jammeh on harmony:

“We must strive to care for and share with each other, heal broken families, restore friendships, reconcile divided communities, and reinforce our sense of belonging and respect for one another.”

[Tanja Eichel]

President Jammeh on equality:

“We must allow justice to prevail for all human beings, regardless of color, creed, religion or any other type of perceived distinction.”

Uhm, no, it actually is not. Maybe you need glasses, honey.

And if you are black yourself, I feel sorry for you calling yourself such a degrading nickname. You need to grow up.

right then, where do i start:

a president that does not allow freedom of speech is corrupt, full of crap and the worst ever thing that the gambia needs or want.

so he managed to get a few roads built, a few houses built, but at what cost to the people. why is there no FREE vaccination for children against the killer malaria - there is enough money, but because of his creed and dictatorship no one can fight him.

why are the journalists who do fight him end up in prison for no reason? they have gone against the freedom of speech rule.

if gambia is mad enough to think that he is doing something for the gambia then you deserve him. he is a self serving, greedy, corrupt, president that is doing no good for the gambia.

its either his way or no way. peaceful bullocks - the people have no choice but to obey as they think that he is hopefully doing good.

cure for aids the president is an idiot and with his stupidity he will bring the gambia to its knees.

gambia having the worst justice, i think you need to talk to your president first as he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of free speech and justice.

Corruption is everywhere, The Gambia is no exception, still a beautiful country!!

[CrazySexyCool71]

it is a beautiful country and i do not dispute this, but don't expect me to think the president is doing good.

but the people are not saying anything but working out how they can get out of their beautiful country rather than fight to over turn the government.

corruption is everywhere, but at least we have the freedom to vote with our feet or even have our point of view with persecution.
