Mashalaah sister! Highly impressive and informative about The Gambia 🇬🇲, I am a bonafide Gambian from the root to the fruit currently based in the US, what I love about my country is the hospitality of the people and the unique genuineness in our DNA and that’s why we are called the smiling coast of Africa. As a Gambian I have lived and mingled with people from all walks of life and all I hear is “you are a nice person and down to earth” but kudos to my parents for the upbringing. Thanks 🙏 my sister for putting Gambia 🇬🇲 on a global spectrum.

Well done dear! You highlighted very unique and interesting facts about 🇬🇲👏🏾👏🏾

[alemesh]

Thank you for the facts about THE/the Gambia 🇬🇲 or simply Gambia. I knew some of the facts: it’s location, capital city and River Gambia.

I remember the film Roots when I was in high school. That way a steep learning curve about Colonialism, slavery and race. I’m an Ethiopian 🇪🇹 and many people in my generation heard about Kunta Kinte. He is a legend and warrior from Mandinka tribe. He is the symbol of resilience, never give up attitude in the face of adversity and hope. Never ever forgotten his origin or his root. Please, let me know if there is a book about Kinta Kinte. I would love to dig deeper about him. Hopefully, google will help.
Yeah. I can carry on and on about Gambia.
By the way, the holiday we booked to visit Gambia last year was cancelled after one of the holiday company went bust. I was gutted not being able to see this wonderful place. I’m sure I will be able to visit when the pandemic goes away. Fingers crossed!
