Please stop picking headlines and making big deals out of them. It says over 50% above poverty, using what criterion? In fact, if you compare us to our neighbors and others in the sub region, we are in the same group. The 50% I believe is referring the $2 a day mark, because the last time I read poverty lines using the widely used $1 mark (~$1.25), about 33% are below poverty. This is comparable to rates in Ghana and Senegal, and above the two Guineas, Sierra Leone, Mali, Niger, Nigeria etc. On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 10:25 AM, Laye Jallow <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hey Suntu! > Bambalaye knows noting 'bout this double-up-ment you're talking 'bout. > What has poverty got to do with Babili Mansa?
