These are the kind of info we really need. Gambians are really suffering and the government doesn’t care. There should be demonstrations everywhere just like any other country
The same exact thing is happening in Angola. I don't know about in the Gambia but in Angola the Chinese are well connected. That's how they manage to literally drag all the fish out without considering the breeding season or whatever!
Capitalism and industrialization is the enemy. Your selling your country for modern amenities. If you don't want outsiders coming in then live the way your ancestors did
@HOP963 but did or have they? It's okay to speak truths. Tribalism is another issue with Africa until you're ready to unite...Africa will be ruled by Westerners. Js
Form an.orgsnization to protect the River system. Please let the Diaspora know about this serious case. Please send your disquiet to the Africa Union about such abuse of the water resources.
Only Gambians from the ground up can only change this. Your politicians that have everyone going crazy election times are to be held accountable for this.
QUESTION: How many Asian, European, North American governments are giving contracts and concessions to African nations to build, explore and extract in any place outside of Africa?
@abdulrahmanraheem423 We have they tell us that we bring nothing while the Chinese help with infrastructure! So let them eat cake! Tried to tell them a long time ago!
Our coastal fishing areas are being taken and destroyed by Chinese fish mill factories, Kartong, Gunjur, and sanyang. the government, departments, Fisheries and Trade are In cohort. It’s very sad our own government is not listening to the predicaments of the Gambians. Brother, you have spoken well. Fish used to be very cheap and affordable source of protein for the poor who cannot afford meat every now and then. the bonga fish/yellowtail mullet fish ( Chaloo) was once upon the time most cheapest fish and affordable. Now the price is skyrocketing due to presence of the fish mill factories. Over our fish stocks is depleting by foreign trawlers, exacerbated by the presence of these Chinese fish mill factories. Like the brother in years to come fish will be extremely expensive for the average Gambia to buy. WHY IS IT THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS SELLING OUR RESOURCES OUT AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR COMING GENERATIONS,
The people need to stick together and the Gambian politicians shouldn't be talking Bribes Love you people uplift your people the Chinese gonna send half there catch to feed china while you starved and and beg they set this kind of system up and that's is how they start to bribe they use infrastructure as way to get there way .
GG is sleeping in this country. I love bonga fish. Now you can’t even fine a decent one to buy. Chinese are over fishing in this area. Gambia doesn’t have a decent navy to patrol the seas. Soon we will all starting eating grass if this is not addressed asap.
The political leadership is causing all these problems, they have invited the Chinese to come to Gambia without thinking about their people, the people of Gambia!!!
@sa2darlin469 that's what am talking about.the way they fish in the sea is not controlled and inspect.and the kind of net they use,doesn't spear small fish that sould reproduce in the future.
Someone built that market pier and road there in Bakau. After it was built, they all used it, but no one did any repairs to any of the facilities. Not told in this story is who built the place and why any of these people complaining about the facilities don't perform the required maintenance so that it is attractive for a fishing fleet to land fish and they don't have to depend on the Chinese.
A very sad nation they sold everything buh they will pay high price for that there enjoying with there families for now let them know that in this life nothing is permanent it's a matter of time Mr bojang may Allah grant you long life with good health we need youths like you whom will see the Gambia fist
This is sad for poor Gambia and the other African countries it is happening to. I recognize all of these fish species,previously unknown to me, in a Chinese supermarket in Canada yesterday, with Chinese packaging 😮
certainly youngman i love your wisdom this people are really misusing our river so sad that my beloved country is constantly bleeding and the GOVERNMENT keeps mute.
It is easier to blame the Chinese.. Check contract of invitation between the government of Gambia and the Chinese. (only if the Gambian government is transparent). If not, it is just hot air criticism of the enterprising Chinese.
Well, Exoon took your oil in Gambia, left a great big mess. You need to gather your people and go after the government because they are ones filing their pockets and destroying your country. It’s not the investors. They are just taking the opportunity given to them by your government. The investors are thinking business not sustainability. Again, hold your government accountable.
What nonsense are you taking about. You have it all, all the fertile land you need and the mineral resources. You can't even grow enough food for yourself, and no will to convert your mineral resources. You are a long long way from becoming a self sufficient continent.
NEVER Been to Africa i Need 2 Visit Soon BUT As Soon as i hear about the Chinese "Investing" in Africa i Knew that was BAD!! Those people AREN'T African/Blk & Brown american people Friends!!
The Gambia 20 years ago was full of fish but it was sold out to the Europeans and Chinese. What a disgrace. All the people can afford now is steroid filled chicken from America.😢
This is so sad the whole of Africa and the Caribbean the Chinese are destroying The island my parents come from in the Caribbean We cannot get fish how we used too And the Gov are allowing them to do as they please When will Black people stand up once and for all
But you have elected officials who seem to be more interested in demolishing poor people's sources of livelihoods in the name of beautifying the streets of Gambia, when there are more pressing issues like the theft of the country's marine wealth to be addressed. Africa has a very long way to go, in terms of leadership and priorities.
Why do African American women who move to Gambia go missing and found dead but these Chinese who are rapping the Gambia of it resources are safe and sound? Explain that please!
Yeap… that’s why I laugh at the China/U.S. situation. I’m starting to believe these lies are because the rest of the world can’t survive without the Africa Diaspora. If the African Diaspora closes its doors… the rest of the world will fail to exist. B1
This is mad yk can we argue this in the National Assembly instead debating on things that are optional Now is clear we have elders but not leaders shame on the cabinet members!
They are doing the same thing in the carribean what a wickedness…Black people all over the world need to wake up , open their eyes 👀 and realize what the truth is about the Chinese people destroying the live and livelihoods of black population to enrich themselves.. This is pure evil…
China has depleted their rivers of fishing. China is taking over parts of Africa that would allow them b offering money to governments. China offers African countries money for road improvements and education, and African beholding to them and can't pay back debts. China takes over if government allows. Bambi, Tanzania. Tanzania has a Chinatown with Chinese businesses out pricing local African vendors. botswana is allowing Chinese to come in as well, buying property because China is oer croweded
These are the kind of info we really need. Gambians are really suffering and the government doesn’t care. There should be demonstrations everywhere just like any other country
The brother is telling the truth ,, ,it has to stope , 😡
I believe him... happened in Australia too..same problems
this brother speak my mind respect Ras..
Gambian are looking at the shiny, paved streets while the Chinese take all the fish. How will you survive?
The same exact thing is happening in Angola. I don't know about in the Gambia but in Angola the Chinese are well connected. That's how they manage to literally drag all the fish out without considering the breeding season or whatever!
Looking at the paved street is a big issue. it's the same shit going on in Nigeria and Sierra Leone etc
Capitalism and industrialization is the enemy. Your selling your country for modern amenities. If you don't want outsiders coming in then live the way your ancestors did
The problem is, Gambians can pave their own street, and build their own infrastructure.
@HOP963 but did or have they? It's okay to speak truths. Tribalism is another issue with Africa until you're ready to unite...Africa will be ruled by Westerners. Js
Well spoken,all the fishing Asians company's gat to go,we don't need Chinese especially. Really sad,and it's bad 👎
Their trowlelers are just powerful
Bingo. They not only pollute and destroy the wildlife in the sea but they do the same to the land wildlife ...... and mineral resources.
If you can't go into their country and developed businesses, they shouldn't be able to come into your country! That goes for any country✌🏽
This man is so eloquent about the fishing industry and bi lingual - gets his point across well 🐟
Form an.orgsnization to protect the River system. Please let the Diaspora know about this serious case. Please send your disquiet to the Africa Union about such abuse of the water resources.
Nobody cares…
I do care! James 5:20 ❤🙏😓🌎
Be careful Gambia for future
The problems are not solved with clear the road and a OIC Road
Gambia is sold out pitty
Only Gambians from the ground up can only change this. Your politicians that have everyone going crazy election times are to be held accountable for this.
That’s why brother lamin we are proud of you
Waw bro I really felt what you are saying, am just doing the marine and freshwater biology the problem our lecturer was talking about
QUESTION: How many Asian, European, North American governments are giving contracts and concessions to African nations to build, explore and extract in any place outside of Africa?
0.......0⃣ ZERO .....NIL.... we Are a STUPID PEOPLE
Wow! Chinese had took advantage of the fishing rights of Gambia!
Political corruption is evil
Unfortunately its just begun. People say Black Americans are crazy but we know about exploitation too well.
For real
The white man did over 500 years and we still natural resources, now in a few years the Chinese finish everything
Exactly! We have PhD in how exploitation works and we must inform and assist our African family.
@abdulrahmanraheem423 We have they tell us that we bring nothing while the Chinese help with infrastructure! So let them eat cake! Tried to tell them a long time ago!
The local should stop it if government didn't want to address the issue
Good for y'all. Y'all was happy for them to come..
Our coastal fishing areas are being taken and destroyed by Chinese fish mill factories, Kartong, Gunjur, and sanyang. the government, departments, Fisheries and Trade are In cohort.

The people need to stick together and the Gambian politicians shouldn't be talking Bribes Love you people uplift your people the Chinese gonna send half there catch to feed china while you starved and and beg they set this kind of system up and that's is how they start to bribe they use infrastructure as way to get there way .

GG is sleeping in this country. I love bonga fish. Now you can’t even fine a decent one to buy. Chinese are over fishing in this area. Gambia doesn’t have a decent navy to patrol the seas. Soon we will all starting eating grass if this is not addressed asap.
It's sad
The political leadership is causing all these problems, they have invited the Chinese to come to Gambia without thinking about their people, the people of Gambia!!!
Do not take this for jok, the chinees arent goid for our sea. If the government dosent take a step we will regret this for the rest of our life.
The government should go and see what Chinese are doing inside the sea. No one is going to go China and do this
The government give them power 😢
@sa2darlin469 that's what am talking about.the way they fish in the sea is not controlled and inspect.and the kind of net they use,doesn't spear small fish that sould reproduce in the future.
they've depleted their own stocks and resources now they are after the worlds resources
Yes it's time to organize
Someone built that market pier and road there in Bakau. After it was built, they all used it, but no one did any repairs to any of the facilities.
Not told in this story is who built the place and why any of these people complaining about the facilities don't perform the required maintenance so that it is attractive for a fishing fleet to land fish and they don't have to depend on the Chinese.
Gambia..................Didn't like a few Black Americans faded into the afterlife over in Gambia?
ignorant remarks are you albino
The fish mill factory should be stop operating in the Gambia, is not not good for the environment
A very sad nation they sold everything buh they will pay high price for that there enjoying with there families for now let them know that in this life nothing is permanent it's a matter of time Mr bojang may Allah grant you long life with good health we need youths like you whom will see the Gambia fist
Thank you brother Lamim i am very proud
This is sad for poor Gambia and the other African countries it is happening to. I recognize all of these fish species,previously unknown to me, in a Chinese supermarket in Canada yesterday, with Chinese packaging 😮
Indeed Africa needs liberation
The white man did over 500 years and we still natural resources, now in a few years the Chinese finish everything
Well spoken my brother Gambia going backwards

Brother is telling the truth this is so sad Chinese destroying the whole country
I said the Asian is the next colinizer!
Yes.....they doing it _STEALTH_ Mode, the most dangerous trait of an aggressive enemy.
Keep standing up for your rights brothers! This robbery is not right!
The same situation in Ghana.
It is easier to blame the Chinese.. Check contract of invitation between the government of Gambia and the Chinese. (only if the Gambian government is transparent). If not, it is just hot air criticism of the enterprising Chinese.
Thank you so much
Protect your resources. Foreign governments should have the right to stop these illegal fishing activities if you have to sink their ships!
they're treated as god
The rest of Africa have to know this
Sad....😢
What f##k's me most is we will talk but nothing will be made out of it. Gambia is sad my brother. 😢
Real talk bad brother selfish govan.
Lamin B. say the truh.
Is very sad, what is going in Gambia. Our politicians are corrupt, that's why our population suffers.
Barrow is worse mistake we made and still we will continue to elect him.
Do what Haiti's 'doing'!
Stop them. By any means necessary.
Where is the government? Why aren't they doing anything about it?
Well, Exoon took your oil in Gambia, left a great big mess. You need to gather your people and go after the government because they are ones filing their pockets and destroying your country. It’s not the investors. They are just taking the opportunity given to them by your government. The investors are thinking business not sustainability. Again, hold your government accountable.
We must unite and defen africa
Salute from southern greater Somalia 🥷🏽☝🏼💚🛖
What about those fish meal factories they keep setting up? Those aren't good either.
True words
This my big brother true talk
Real hustler, big up to him 👏
You are right about Mauritania am a fisherman in NOUADIBOU but for the Mauritania.
Why the didn’t complain about the Spanish trawlers
Barrow let Gambians down n he very clueless
Why is China even fishing in Gambia? They are killing all of the squid off South America. These squid vital for the echo system.
they have powerful vessels
True talk brother
Africa does not need other countries to survive
What nonsense are you taking about. You have it all, all the fertile land you need and the mineral resources. You can't even grow enough food for yourself, and no will to convert your mineral resources. You are a long long way from becoming a self sufficient continent.
He is speaking facts
And what did y’all think was going to happen after the welcoming of the Chinese?
Meanwhile they are paving roads and praying Chinese are stealing and abusing their fishing industries. 😢😢😢😢😢😢so sad
NEVER Been to Africa i Need 2 Visit Soon BUT As Soon as i hear about the Chinese "Investing" in Africa i Knew that was BAD!! Those people AREN'T African/Blk & Brown american people Friends!!

Is the Gambian government willingly giving contracts and concessions to their own citizens?
Obviously..
YOU BELIVE CHINA 😂😂😂
the chinese poluted all thier own land so what do you think they would do to yours
Whose the president of Gambia ?
Adama Barrow
But you have elected officials who seem to be more interested in demolishing poor people's sources of livelihoods in the name of beautifying the streets of Gambia, when there are more pressing issues like the theft of the country's marine wealth to be addressed. Africa has a very long way to go, in terms of leadership and priorities.
I just don't understand the leader not looking out for his people or environment. This needs to be addressed. Every just can't be real.
If these things are not dealt with you lose even your skins
There also doing it Uganda 🇺🇬,
Govt faultgreedy
Why do African American women who move to Gambia go missing and found dead but these Chinese who are rapping the Gambia of it resources are safe and sound? Explain that please!
Yes it must stop the children future is being sold out
Get them out now.
Very correct
Respect
Chinese are buying some of the best farmlands in America. So, this is nothing new.
Yeap… that’s why I laugh at the China/U.S. situation. I’m starting to believe these lies are because the rest of the world can’t survive without the Africa Diaspora. If the African Diaspora closes its doors… the rest of the world will fail to exist. B1
This is happening in Florida now fish 🐟are dieing!
Just like in Senegal it's harder a d harder to make a living from fishing 😪
Chinese dominating Africa
Don't blame the Chinese. What's the government doing about it.
The Chinese must had the permission somewhere right
The government give them power, because they don’t care about the youths
Speak out .is everywhere chinese take up
This is mad yk can we argue this in the National Assembly instead debating on things that are optional
Now is clear we have elders but not leaders shame on the cabinet members!
They are doing the same thing in the carribean what a wickedness…Black people all over the world need to wake up , open their eyes 👀 and realize what the truth is about the Chinese people destroying the live and livelihoods of black population to enrich themselves.. This is pure evil…
Nice English we can understand the way they speak
It's all about ability to communicate
