How about the open invitation to Phillipines and Brazil? These two countries are free from Banjul's  paradigm of "sour words" or...? Hello There! International Trade likes that commodity called OIL...Why would these Gurus shun real oil? Is ours only hydro carbons then? Chei! How about the steaming wells in Bissau? Have they been making noise? Laws of the sea please! Ooops! watch out! These aren;t simplified dreams Sir.

World Trade or Subregional trade? How about the high tariffs that were unilaterally sent into the air from Kanilai? Is Kanilai not part of the International community of traders? This is not aquaculture but! The small fish are being raised in our own back yard.Is this unilateral approach not found within Banjul's "aquarium" of economic sabotage within ECOWAS? When these whales grow will they also not start capsizing canoes within the sea of International trade?

on Le soleil's site one can type in The word "gambie" into the search space then click "OK". Nothing less than 10 items will spring.
Some of Le soleil's sources are in The Gambia our homeland.Are these sources not patriots too? Are they also qualified as "sell outs"  even whereas simple things like carbage are scarce in our local markets as at now?
Was The Gambian delegation "okayed" in Jal Jobe?

There's no business like a Bill Clinton side-show
By Gerard Baker


NI_MPU('middle');IF YOU’RE one of the groupies who hang on to the coat-tails of the vast and expanding global political leadership set as it jets around the world, you’ll be certain to find yourself in New York this week for the annual deliberations of the United Nations General Assembly.
But when you’re there you’re going to face a tricky choice.
Should you sit through hours of worthy talk about development economics? Or should you hasten to the Sheraton, near Times Square, and sip cocktails with Bill Clinton, king of international rock-star politics?
Do you want to hear the President of Gambia outline his nation’s views on the challenges posed by international trade? Or do you want to listen as Mr Clinton and Tony Blair dedicate themselves to world peace and the eradication of poverty?
The former President has set up a side-show to this year’s UN General Assembly aimed at producing real commitments from governments and private-sector participants on poverty, global warming, religious conflict and “governance”.
To be fair, it won’t all be glitz. The topics are the same as the ones under discussion at the UN. And not everyone at the Clinton gathering can compare with the former President for geopolitical sex appeal; President Leonel Fernández Reyna of the Dominican Republic will be there. Another of the speakers is Margaret Beckett.
But there’s no doubt, especially with the presence of Hillary Clinton, less than two years before she is expected to announce her presidential candidacy, that the Clinton event will eclipse much else.
It is billed as a non-partisan initiative, drawing on expertise from around the world. But with the exception of one or two conspicuous dissenters — Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, parent company of The Times, Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, and Paul Wolfowitz, head of the World Bank — the gathering looks a lot like a thinly disguised reunion of the Clinton Administration.
The list of speakers is dominated by figures from the eight Clinton years such as Bob Rubin, the former Treasury Secretary, Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State, and, of course, Al Gore. Many of the others are old friends, such as King Abdullah and Queen Rania of Jordan — and Gerry Adams, who will share his insights on how to defuse religious conflicts. That will be box office gold.
