……………………………………..
Good day, 

I'm a journalist with the Swazi Observer newspaper, we still have our relations (Swaziland) with Taiwan intact but the Banjul communiqué is rather spurring us into action. Could you provide insight on the reasons for the severance of relations. Where is Gambia looking for Taiwan's replacement?

Gambia - Opposition leaders react to Govt. statement on US, Britain, others

Friday, October 25, 2013

Opposition parties in The Gambia have for the first time jointly reacted to a recent government statement that accused Britain and the United States of America of leading a “shameless campaign of lying” against it, and labeled the United Democratic Party (UDP) as a Mandingo group.

In a joint statement signed by Ousainou Darboe of the UDP, Hamat Bah of the NRP, Omar Jallow alias OJ of the PPP and Daniel Mendy of the GMC, leaders of the opposition said the statement in their opinion was ill-considered, uncalled for, worrisome and divisive in a country where tribal and religious tolerance is the envy of the world.

Africell Customer Care Manager Fails To React To Staffers Allegations Of Allegedly Pocketing Company Funds!

 
React To Staffers Allegations Of Allegedly Pocketing Company Funds; Fraternizing With A Female Staff; And Staff Unfair Treatment!

By Insiders                   

Ever since Africell was established we’ve never written anything about the company. If we are writing now, it’s only because we can no longer accept to be treated like slave by Karim Nouri.

A man with no qualification for the job given to him! Just because he’s the guard-son of a close friend of the owner of the company he was appointed as customer care manager. He didn’t believe it. This is evident because he likes to ask people: ‘What’s my title?’ And if you say: ‘customer care manager’, he’ll put up a broad smile. It’s not a surprise boss we know you didn’t work for it!
