The Gambia (i/ˈɡæmbiə/, officially the Republic of the Gambia and often called simply Gambia) is a country in West Africa mostly surrounded by Senegal with a short strip of its coastline bordered with the Atlantic Ocean at its western end. It is the smallest country on mainland Africa.
The Gambia is situated on either side of the Gambia River, the nation's namesake, which flows through the centre of the Gambia and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Its area is 10,689 square kilometres (4,127 sq mi) with a population of 1,882,450 at the 15 April 2013 Census (provisional). Banjul is the Gambian capital, and the largest cities are Serekunda and Brikama.
The Gambia shares historical roots with many other West African nations in the slave trade, which was the key factor in the placing and keeping of a colony on the Gambia River, first by the Portuguese, during which era it was A Gâmbia, and later, on 25 May 1765, the Gambia was made a part of the British colony when the government formally assumed control, establishing the Province of Senegambia. On 18 February 1965, the Gambia gained independence from the United Kingdom. Since gaining independence, the Gambia has had two leaders – Dawda Jawara, who ruled from 1970 until 1994, when the current leader Yahya Jammeh seized power in a coup as a young army officer.

A lot of times when i do videos i try to be funny and not offend anyone. This is not time for that. It used to be when we hear someone has been murdered, we all freak out. Today, our hearts are numb in a sense that we leave the dead to bury the dead. We come to accept missing people as a norm. lately what has been happening in our country The Gambia dictates every individual with conscience to pick a side; the side of the oppressor or that of the oppressed. I chose the latter. For history will judge me. Not only that, my children and grandchildren will one day ask me what side were you on during such painful times. I want to be able to look at them straight in the eyes " i stood with the people because neutral moment has long over faded. We all know how the current regime came in. And e...
Gambia has been commemorating the 1994 coup led by the current President Yahya Jammeh. 22 years ago, on July 22nd President Yahya toppled the party of the country's founding President Dawda Jabara on allegations of corruption and overstaying in power. Since then, this day has been celebrated in Gambia as one of the most important days on the national calendar. Celebrations take place across the country, with the President calling on citizens to reflect on the history of the country. This year's theme focused on building the capacities of women and youth.

He stated this while on a visit to the Dirctor-General, NYSC, Brigadier-general sule Kazaure in Abuja.

Despite Swaziland's small size, it boasts more hectares of land dedicated to growing Cannabis than all of India. It is also home to Swazi Gold, the legendary sativa strain. Hamilton Morris travels to Swaziland hoping to chemically analyze the cannabinoids present in some of the local strains.

Die ASB Health Clinic in Serrekunda (Gambia) leistet einen extrem wichtigen Beitrag für die Gesundheitsversorgung in dem kleinen westafrikanischen Staat. Der ASB Lüneburg entschied sich im Jahr 2001 dazu, eine Gesundheitseinrichtung in Gambia aufzubauen, um auch den Armen und Bedürftigen eine medizinische Versorgung zu ermöglichen. Dazu wurde eine NGO gegründet und im Jahr 2002 die ASB Clinic eröffnet. In den Anfängen bestand die medizinische Versorgung noch hauptsächlich aus einer Ambulanz mit Fokus auf Wundbehandlungen. Doch aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage kamen beständig neue Abteilungen dazu, die das Versorgungsangebot stark vergrößerten. Mittlerweile werden dort 35.000 Patienten jährlich behandelt und die Klinik verfügt über eine Entbindungsstation, ein eigenes Labor, eine Zahnklinik, ...

http://www.tvchoice.uk.com - 33 mins, 2001 Gambia seems ideal for holidays. With plentiful sunshine and long, white beaches, tourism has become a major source of income. But tourism in a developing country is a double-edged sword. Despite swelling numbers of visitors, little money ends up with local people. Holidays are run by foreign tour operators and tourists stay mostly in the foreign-owned hotels, eating imported food. Is community tourism - for example getting people to spend money locally - the best hope for the future?

Gambia Travel Video - Its easy to miss The Gambia on a map of mighty Africa. This tiny sliver of land is a mere 500km long and 50km wide, and, with the exception of an 80km shoreline, its entirely enveloped by Senegal. But beach-bound Travelists have long known how to trace this oddly shaped country on the map. Its magnificent coast invites visitors to laze and linger, tempting with luxurious beach resorts and bustling fishing villages. But theres more to Africas smallest country than sun and surf. Stunning nature reserves, such as Kiang West National Park and River Gambia National Park (also known as Baboon Island), and the historical slaving stations of St James Island and Jufureh offer peaceful pauses from the clamour of the nearby coast. And The Gambias vibrant culture is always there ...

In the morning and in the evening
When you think you’re alone
Too many hours in your apartment
Has made me hard a stone
I tried to crack you
I told you you’re the one
But you must have though that i was gone
I told you a lot of lies just to get laid
But your heart is hard as a stone
You’re a vicious but i’m a man
I’m gonna do what i can to remain hard as a stone
That little pigeon where did you find it?
I had to break her every bone
Eleven hours in your pool
No wonder i’m hard as a stone
She was delicious now i’m a star
If you wanna be what you are you better be hard as a stone
(the chorus)
You’re mean, but i’m a man
It’s not exactly what i planned but it seems i’m hard as a stone
