Did you know that there is such a "great power" in the world? Their president is a veterinarian who graduated from a "prestigious university", and this strange president has also shouted to China to defeat China with 1,000 people, so what kind of country is this? What happened to the president?
Gambia
This strange country is the smallest country in Africa, gambia, yes, the smallest country, not only a small country, but also the least developed country, the residents here are still living a backward life until now, and it is such a small country that has bragged about defeating China with 1,000 people, and this is not the first time he has bragged, they have in the heyday of the Soviet Union, released the "seven days to bulldoze the Soviet Union" remarks, to ask the bragging which is strong, the African region to find the Gambia, do not know whether they are ignorant or stupid, The country can brag about much more than that, and when the president of the Gambia visited the United States in 2007, he told his cronies that if there was any movement in the Taiwan Strait, the Gambia would send a thousand people to sweep up China.
Listening to this sentence, Chinese laughed at himself, but he said that this is not completely false, it is half-truth, because their country really only has more than a thousand people, according to statistics, in 2001, the military strength of the Gambia added up to 800 people, but if you carefully count, maybe their country really has a thousand such a "huge" military force, and in 2012, the Gambia repeated the same trick, trying to seduce our country Taiwan, their president said: If Taiwan has aid to the Gambia, Then the Gambia will send a thousand elite troops to assist Taiwan in occupying the mainland.

Seeing that There was no movement on the Taiwan side, the Gambia could not hold its breath, directly broke diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and also released the words "to destroy Taiwan within three hours", and then there was no following, but they had a few peanuts and rice, and they would not be drunk like this.
According to the economic situation of the Gambia, this is one of the least developed countries in the world, their military and technology are also very backward, the world is "gloriously" ranked last, their land area is only more than 10,000 square kilometers, what is this concept? They are less than a third of China's smallest territory in Hainan Province, and most of the residents here make a living by growing crops and working in mines, which basically only produce some soap and drinks, and the developed technology such as transportation is even more pitiful.
But the only thing that is not lacking here is water resources, most of us remember that Africa has always been a country with extremely poor water resources, but due to its special geographical location, the Gambia is built along the mother river, and the towns are distributed along the river, like a slender earthworm across Senegal, tightly surrounded by Senegal, vividly explaining what is called surviving in the cracks.
Perhaps it is the strange terrain of the Gambia that has created this strange country, so that they will never return on the road of the strange, they may know how much strength their country has, only dare to clamor for other countries, clearly know that other countries simply do not have time to take care of them, will become so arrogant and arrogant, and the Gambia does not know the word low-key, but also the old saying: barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, vividly expressed.
There is such a country that can brag, there is always a president who can brag, the Gambia, a small country in modern history has not escaped the fate of colonization, but he is different from the colonies of other countries, have you heard of "cutting leeks", but the Gambia is not like cutting leeks stubble stubble, and the Gambia this leek has been cut by Britain, France, Portugal, etc., but in the end it was occupied by Britain and became a British colony.
After that, this small country began a century-long colonial destiny, until the end of the Second World War, the Gambia, which was followed by a large army, declared its independence in 1965, and after independence, it was inevitable to elect a leader, so he came, the first president of the Gambia, Daouda Keraba Jawara, but this president, unlike other countries, was a veterinarian.
So why would the country elect a veterinarian to be its president? Let's look down, this poor and backward small country, it is very rare to have some intellectual and cultural talents, and at that time, the president was still a veterinarian who returned from studying in the United Kingdom, so he just returned to Gambia and became an "idol" of the local people, raising his status a lot, in this illiterate country, Daouda Kairaba Jawara has become a rare "talent", plus he often treats livestock in the countryside, naturally accumulating a lot of connections.
Although he is a veterinarian, but in his years abroad, more or less also have some understanding of politics, after the independence of the Gambia, he also became the president of the Gambia, and then he held several positions, what national president, foreign minister, information minister, etc. are his positions, perhaps people have the right, they want to achieve a career, since he took office, every day he has been doing the dream of turning salted fish over.

Under his command, the Gambia had several civil unrest, political and military chaos, these rebellious people wanted to overthrow Jawara, and at this time Jawara realized the importance of the army, so the Gambia's "strongest force in the universe" was born.
But in the small country of the Gambia, natural resources are extremely scarce, so they can only rely on agriculture to maintain their own economic development, and in the industrial sector, they do not have to think, in the 30 years of Jawara's rule, peanuts have become the only economic lifeblood of the Gambia, their small country that is completely "dependent on the sky", in the face of some natural disasters and crop damage, the entire country's economy will also be implicated.
But Jawara does not seem to be favored by Heaven, during his reign, insect plagues, droughts and other large-scale natural disasters have dragged down the daily life of Gambian farmers, in order to save the image in the hearts of the people, he began to do his old business, to treat livestock all over the country, perhaps the presidency has been sitting for a long time, Jawara began to have some lost self-confidence, thinking that the Gambia is very powerful under his leadership, so in 1980 at the United Nations General Assembly, openly raised the middle finger to the Boss of the Soviet Union. Brezhnev at that time could not believe that such a small country could openly provoke the Soviet Union.
Brezhnev smiled contemptuously, as if he had listened to a joke and did not pay attention to him at all, seeing that Brezhnev did not pay attention to him, Jawara was anxious, and he was ashamed to say that he would bulldoze the Soviet Union in seven days, who gave him the courage, Liang Jingru? Brezhnev just watched him perform quietly, while Jawara thought it was instigated by the Soviet Union, but after Jawara's "harsh words" were released, there was no further follow-up.
Brezhnev
Gambia under the rule of Jawara, because of several positions, over time there was a serious problem of corruption, when the Gambian army just two years old has been in arrears of military pay problems, obviously only a few hundred troops, but also arrears of military pay, and Jawara said that he did not know, his statement, I am afraid that even the ghosts do not believe, with the passage of time, finally in 1994 the Gambia mutiny, Jawara can only be forced to flee overseas.
After the first president stepped down, the Gambia ushered in the second president, Yahya Jammeh, who was also the leader of the mutiny, and after the success of the mutiny, he naturally became the second president of the Gambia, and he seemed to inherit The bragging skills of Jawara at the same time, but also extreme arrogance and arrogance.
Yahya Jammeh
In his 23 years in power, it can be said that the hegemony of small countries has been fully exerted, and the european union has been fearful, and the two presidents have offended all three major powers in the world, and it has to be said that they are really powerful in bragging, but no big country has taken a shot at the Gambia, but just let him run wild.
And just as nothing in this world seems to threaten their country, even our country can not escape Jammeh's "claws", in 1995, Jammeh released a wild rumor that swept across the mainland, in 2000, Jammeh threatened to send troops to conquer the whole of North America, in 2007, he made a big fuss to rectify Chinese mainland, and his bragging was far more than that, in 2007, Jammeh claimed to have gained a mysterious power that could cure asthma and AIDS.

And he also opened the outpatient hospital in a serious way, such a practice even the veterinarian Jawara did not dare to do this, Jammeh during the "doctor" period, told everyone to treat AIDS from Monday to Thursday, Friday, Saturday to treat asthma, so how did he treat it?
Jammeh's method is to let some patients drink an unknown liquid and then detain the patient for a few days under the president's personal massage, the patient's illness is completely better, and some people in the Gambia say that it is indeed much better under the president's treatment, but I don't know if this is true, but perhaps Jammeh's cowhide blows too much, causing the people's dissatisfaction, naturally it has lost the people's hearts, so the Gambia decided to vote for the next president.
Jammeh
So the third president of the Gambia came, he is not an intellectual, but a real estate upstart Adama Barrow, his biggest advantage is to have money, Barrow once worked as a security guard in a Department Store in the United Kingdom to catch thieves, and then felt that he could not make money as a security guard, so he returned to China to start speculating and created Majum Real Estate Company, but Barrow believes that it is his security experience that gives him the opportunity to become the president of the Gambia, very proud, Meeting people is like they talk about their years as a security guard in England.
But during Barrow's administration, he found that house flipping could not save the Gambia at all, just like Jammeh's medical skills could not save patients, so he decided to give up the idea of flipping houses and began to honestly engage in politics, but unlike the previous two presidents, Barrow was very quiet after coming to power, so far there was no strange remark, and Jammeh swept away more than 10 million US dollars in Gambia after stepping down, which made the country that was not rich even worse.
Adama Barrow
And Barrow's first thing to do is to deal with the mess left by Jammeh, in order to save the economy of the Gambia, Barrow does not dare to provoke other countries wantonly, he can only give up the identity of the "first power in the universe" and make friendly relations with other countries, although Jammeh once said that he would use 1,000 people to defeat China, but in the face of such an embarrassing situation, Barrow still cheekily came to China for help, and China, as a big country, showed his due demeanor, and did not worry about Barrow.
Instead, when Barrow asked for help, he reached out in time, generously donated money, and established closer trade cooperation with them to promote the economic construction base of the Gambia, although the people of the Gambia were lazy, but in order to keep up with the pace of the times, a unique way of making money appeared, that is, the tourism industry in the Gambia.

However, unlike the normal tourism industry, the normal tourism industry is to see the mountains and water to see the scenery, and here to see the gambia unique robust guy, may not Chinese understand, but the European aunt prefers this mouth, not far away to fly to see the black guys, more outrageous also directly married, it is really a thousand worlds without wonder.
It is these foreign European aunts who promote the development of the tourism economy in the Gambia, but the Gambians do not think that this is a shameful thing, but enjoy it, if the Gambia has not experienced a hundred years of colonial rule, there will not be so many strange leaders, but in recent years, the Gambia under the leadership of Barrow began to go normal, but they also face up to the situation in their own country, and hope that in the near future, the Gambia can get better and better under barrow's leadership!
