its equally simple, we are a 'peace haven'. thats our selling point. peace, tranquility and stabilty in a a very unstable continent (sub-region)for people who wish to invest.

Santa,
I understand that Gambia isn't financially isolated. I just get uneasy when fellows like Perkins come up with ridiculous allegations that the west "preplanned" the financial collapse of countries in the south.
Its true that structural adjustments spearheaded by Bretton woods institutions did created undesirable outcomes. This is mainly due to the power dynamics surrounding their creation and an incompetent bureaucracy implementing projects.
Basically, what I'm saying is we should be careful 'bout what we accept from speculators and rumor mongers. Believing in UFOs, sept. 11 conspiracies etc. is for the very feeble minded. its not intellectuals like you, Santa.
interesting points prince. you are right, one shouldn't believe every analysis but remember there are quiet a lot litratures, credible ones written about 'ganster capitalism'. infact look into the practices of enron and pammalat, world com,baring and many others corperate practices. yes, conspiraices are not to be trusted but some conspiracies aren't actually conspiracies but actual happenings. in the western perspective, there are lines not to be torn. so conspiracy theories are themselves part of the establishment. their findings are not to be taken as facts without empirical evidences. what we are concern about is not whether the gambia is a heaven or not. but investors aren't charitable folks. as the mandinkas would say 'nii yamooi nhu fenneka sunkan'. lest be sceptical and watchful. every relationship is conditional ,i may be wrong but that is my philosophy. thanks again prince, write more. |

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
