Gambia's central bank just ordered Access Bank, GTBank, FirstBank, Ecobank, and Zenith to sack their non-Gambian staff and replace them with locals by Dec 31, 2026.
If the #EU or the #US did this tomorrow, Pan-Africanist would call it xenophobia, imperialism.
But when it's Gambia doing it to its own
own African neighbours, some Gambians are cheering "sovereignty." But yet expect to be treated better elsewhere.
You can't demand the West treat African migrants with total openness while applauding your own government for chauvinism against fellow Africans.
Pick a principle and apply it consistently, or admit it was never about the principle.

Just because your country is acting like shit does not mean Gambia should also be trash. Holding our government to account is our right as we live and pay our taxes.
NAWEC will remain a monopoly if you want to keep the price of electricity down. Remember it is subvented. What can be done for competition is to allow others to generate and feed into NAWEC transmission, but again, there is the advantage for NAWEC, so no.

People on this continent do not die from natural disasters. They die from natural events that governments had every tool, every warning and every opportunity to prevent, and chose not to.
We live in an era where engineers in seismic zones have mastered the science of building structures that sway violently during earthquakes, absorb the shock, and remain standing.
And then there is Africa, where seasonal rains kill people every single year and cause thousands to loose their homes.
Not hurricanes or cyclones. Mere seasonal rains that arrive on schedule every year, that meteorologists predict months in advance, that have been falling on the same cities and the same neighborhoods for decades.
Governance is our true national disaster on this continent.

Police fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters in Gambia demanding the release of siblings Amie and Ousainou Bojang, who had been acquitted of killing two police officers but were immediately rearrested.
Police later said the siblings were released from custody.
As always, only Israeli laws are respected and to be respected. Anyone else tries this, you’ll end up with the full implementation of democrazy by the west.

To see that he ends up wishing they get a “piece” and get their combat ribbon shows how they’re more interested in accolades than the safety of the world. I hope they come back with that ribbon attached to their caskets.
This Marine vet's take is spot on!! He's got real experience from deploying to the Strait of Hormuz in 2010, and he's accurately explaining that an MEU is a rapid response force for maritime security, evacuations, and limited ops, not a full invasion army.
In the middle of all the online noise right now, his calm, fact-based breakdown is a breath of fresh air. Respect. 🪖💪🇺🇸
An attack that will lead to unnecessary loses but will also be the biggest refugee crisis to hit the western hemisphere and US will then understand how it feels when conflict infests your region and how it affects everything around you. Corporations will benefit but everyone else
🇻🇪🇺🇸 President Trump has cut off diplomatic outreach to Venezuela, telling envoy Richard Grenell to halt talks with Nicolás Maduro, U.S. officials reportedly told The New York Times. The move paves the way for possible military escalation, signaling a shift toward regime-change options in Venezuela. Trump is frustrated over Maduro’s refusal to step down and his rejection of U.S. drug-trafficking charges. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has long been hawkish on the issue, and has labeled Maduro an “illegitimate” leader and “fugitive from American justice,” as Washington raised its reward for him to $50 million.
The decision follows four U.S. naval strikes on boats near Venezuela, killing 20, and a notice to Congress declaring U.S. has entered “armed conflict” with drug cartels. Caracas, in turn, has launched defensive exercises, reinforced deployments along land and sea borders, and reported dismantling alleged armed camps and smuggling routes. Venezuelan officials warn the U.S. is seeking provocations to justify intervention. On Sunday, National Assembly President and head international negotiator Jorge Rodríguez denounced what he called a “false flag” plot by local far-right sectors to plant explosives at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, saying Venezuela alerted Washington through three channels and has reinforced security at the mission.
Rodríguez’s full statement, posted on his Telegram, is below. 👇
This is what I expect platforms to be for. Speak of your passion and speak of your believe. Not everyone should align but everyone can know what you stand for too.
US/Israel offered #Palestine a “peace deal” that is almost impossible to accept with the hope that it gets rejected so the war can continue, for the world to blame the Palestinians but after Palestine accepted, now they want to twist things just to keep warring. #FreePalestine
I understand your concern but the trees in the “before” picture can be seen directly growing towards the high tension lines, which is hazardous to everyone and the General Electric lines. These trimming aren’t new and are done annually wherever tree branches are near power lines.
You all remember the same “tragic” mishap happened when they killed staff of World Kitchen in triple air strikes?
"A tragic mishap does seem like a rather odd way to explain away a double strike on a hospital"
Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel "deeply regrets" the "tragic mishap" that took place at Nasser hospital today.

The world watch as #GazaIsStarving, seeing children, women, men, collapse from hunger and people dying while the borders are having warehouses filled with food. We are cruel people who do not deserve this planet.
You’re complicit in these violations against the population. You’ve been silent with all the changes in the law, watched over a 5 decade rule with HR violations and the last time you intervened, was only to perpetuate his rule.
