#一国一品走近非洲 #
There is a country in Africa that the president called "the world's number one power" when he visited the United States.
He also made wild remarks about bulldozing the Soviet Union for three days and occupying China in one day.
However, in fact, the country's land area is the smallest on the African continent, as small as 11,000 square kilometers, and the entire country has a population of just over 2 million.
And according to the annual international PER CAPITA statistics, out of 185 countries, the per capita GDP of this country is 540 US dollars, ranking 180th in the world.
And has enough strength to stay in the bottom position every year, and single-handedly listed by the United Nations as one of the poorest countries in the world.
The Gambia's main economic income comes from tourism, but the National Tourism Administration has publicly called on Europe to ask some tourists not to visit the Gambia again, or else to carry out arrest plans.
This country is the "cosmic god kingdom" Gambia.
In any way, the Gambia does not look like a great power comparable to the United States and the Soviet Union, but from its words and actions, it seems that he is really the world's number one power.
So what is the strength of this country, daring to compete with the powerful country like this? Is it just the "Mouth Cannon King"?
Why does the Gambia attract middle-aged and older white women in Europe?
The strange president of the Gambia
The Gambia had been invaded by European countries until 1970, when it welcomed its first president, Jawara. And this is the beginning of the Gambian miracle.
Because before Jawara became president, Jawara's profession was a veterinarian. Therefore, in my bones, I still want to cure the poor disease of this country.
When Jawara was president, the Gambia had a relatively normal life.
In 1980, the Gambia turned to the Soviet Union for help. The negotiations had gone well, and the Soviet Union had promised to help the Gambia.
But when it came to Jawara's list of needs help, the Soviets were dumbfounded.
The Gambia actually proposed to let the Soviet Union provide them with heavy weapons to help you build your infrastructure, but heavy weapons are really not OK, so the Soviet Union resolutely refused.
Unexpectedly, Jawara actually openly gave Brezhnev a middle finger at the United Nations General Assembly, and also made wild remarks, bulldozing the Soviet Union for three days, leaving no living mouth.
At that time, the Soviet Union had just completed a major military exercise, and the number of police officers with guns in the whole of The Gambia was probably only 2,000.
In 1985, Jawara went to the Soviet Union again regardless of his previous suspicions, hoping that the Soviet Union could help change the people's livelihood, when Soviet President Gorbachev was much tougher than the previous president, directly two words: no help.
At this point, Jawara's face was completely unbearable, and his temper immediately came up, openly threatening the Soviet Union: without assistance, he would occupy all of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union did not take the Gambia seriously, which can also be understood as not taking the Gambia's words seriously, after all, the disparity in strength between the two countries is really too big.
The president then seemed to understand that if the country was to be strong, the military needed to develop, and under his leadership the number of troops increased by leaps and bounds, from 800 directly to 1,000 people.
But he overlooked a very important thing, military pay.
What he did not expect was that because there was no money to pay the military, the soldiers could not eat enough to eat, and they would directly launch a coup d'état.
In this way, Jawara was ousted by a young man in his twenties, jammeh, the second president of the Gambia.
Jammeh was only 25 years old when he became president, and is known as the youngest head of state in the world.
Compared to Jawara, Jammeh is younger and more vigorous after all.
Not long after he came to power, his aunt died, and Jammeh thought it was the work of witches and ordered all the witches to be imprisoned.
What is more interesting is that one day Jammeh suddenly told the staff around him that he had found a cure for AIDS and asthma in his sleep, and could treat the Gambian people for free.
His treatment was to put his hand on the patient's head and recite the words in his mouth.
The amazing thing is that these patients treated by Jammeh actually claim to be much sicker, calling Jammeh a "divine doctor".
In addition to these strange behaviors, jammeh is also superior in terms of mouth cannons.
After the collapse of the negotiations with the United Kingdom due to economic problems, Jammeh directly threatened the United Kingdom, believe it or not, directly swept through the United Kingdom with 1000 elites, and even more to other European countries, after the United Kingdom killed, the next one is you.
The more I thought about it for a while, the more angry I became, and I originally didn't want to see the Gambia in general, after all, a small broken country would not make any big splashes. But without teaching the Gambia a lesson, he has been making noise from the sidelines.
Then, it was sanctioned by the joint British, French, German and Italian sanctions.
Because Jammeh has been ruling violently, the people are overwhelmed and raise flags in protest.
The protesters hid in the US Embassy, and Jammeh directly sent someone to sweep the US Embassy with machine guns, and the Americans who persuaded the fight also ignored it, and then ransacked the embassy.
At that time, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the United States was a well-deserved power.
However, the United States did not take action against the Gambia, which made the Gambia more confident, thinking that the United States was afraid.
Is the United States really afraid? You don't have to think about it to know that it's really not necessary.
The result of a thousand-mile journey to fight the Gambia may be to raise an extra group of people, not to mention, but also to bear the reputation of bullying small countries, and the gains are not worth the losses.
Perhaps Jammeh also realized that he had gone too far, so during his visit to the United States in 2007, he said that if something happened to Taiwan, the Gambia would definitely send troops to help, and claimed that only 1,000 people needed to be sent to contain China.
But the mainland did not take his words seriously. Instead, the Gambia made overtures to China two years later.
Current situation in the Gambia
In fact, to say that the gambia's geographical location is still very superior, with the river to establish a country.
The beach is very beautiful, the climate is pleasant, it is a good tourist destination and is also known as the African Smile Coast Country.
It is said that the natural conditions of such a tourist country are good, and the location from the ground is also very good, should not be so poor?
The main reason is because of one word: laziness.
The locals are too lazy, the capital of the Gambia, Banjul, is the smallest capital in Africa, because farming is more difficult, so there is not much economic activity, the whole city is full of lazy atmosphere.
It is not so much the capital as it is a large countryside with sunny beaches in Banjul, often the best choice for European tourists.
In general, poorer countries want to work hard to improve their economies, but Gambians do not think so.
When you come to this country, you will find that although they are very poor, each of them is very well dressed, whether it is a big mother who sets up a stall, a student who goes to school, or a cleaner, basically a set of clothes a day.
Women, in particular, pay special attention to their external image, with a concave and convex figure, long legs, thin waist, chest and hips, wear their national costumes, and show their graceful and colorful figures to the fullest.
The most popular shops on the street are beauty shops and tailor shops.
The people have long been accustomed to a life of poverty, and they feel that this is already very good, and the essence of poverty is that they do not feel the taste of being rich.
At home or in the world, the world always gives them all kinds of help, but it makes them even more lazy to work, so they fall into a cycle.
The only agricultural product the Gambia exports is peanuts, and their local peanuts are small and plump.
Children selling peanuts on their heads can be seen everywhere in the local area, see strange Chinese, the first words of children are often "Kingkong", I heard that they learned from Watching Chinese Kung Fu movies, they think that every Chinese will be Chinese Kung Fu.
The Gambia's main source of income is tourism, and with its beautiful sunny beaches, the Gambia attracts thousands of European tourists every year.
Maybe on the streets of Southeast Asia you will see a lot of fat Western old men around a petite and cute Southeast Asian girl.
But when you get to the Gambia, you'll find that many European women are surrounded by a young Gambian guy.
As a former British colony, the official language of the Gambia is English, beautiful sunny beaches, plus even ordinary earners can become a luxurious "rich woman" here.
Gambia has naturally become the first choice for many foreign aunts.
For the local guys in the Gambia, it is not a beautiful thing to make a lot of money with just rhetoric. If you are lucky, you will also be eligible for immigration.
Normally, going to other countries in search of a different kind of tourism would not cause much discussion, but in the Gambia this phenomenon has taken shape.
The director of the tourism office said directly: "What we need is quality tourists, tourists who come to enjoy the country and culture, not tourists who come only for sex." ”
And the director said the government was already considering a plan for the police to arrest clients and sex workers.
In the beaches of The Gambia, you can find young and old, black and white.
The vast majority of tourists are older white European women, and holiday lovers blossom in the Gambia.
These local guys are called "Toyboy", which means a little lover who specializes in coaxing people to be happy.
A married woman in her eighties once confessed to reporters that the sugar here is so sweet that even my age makes it difficult to control myself.
The more candid British aunt said that she will travel to the Gambia every year after retirement and has already been associated with 15 African lovers.
Compared to these people who are more aware of such "transactions", some are not so free.
There are Gambian lovers who fall in love with their old wives who divorce each other and are finally cheated of their money, and there are Gambian guys who are too deeply moved by the "vacationer" to enter the drama but can't love it.
Of course, there are also those who settle in the Gambia with their children with the children and eventually achieve positive results.
The 48-year-old British woman resolutely divorced her husband who was married for more than 20 years despite her family's opposition, came to the Gambia with her children, and was willing to practice Islam with her boys.
These stories may sound incredible, but they do take place in the land of the Gambia.
Today, such holiday lovers are still playing out, and the local economy will remain unchanged every day, and such a phenomenon will continue to play out.
For women who do not get men in their home countries, the guys here are warm and considerate, and for the guys in the Gambia, these women are very rich.
They had long regarded this as a business and associated with white women as their job.
Although the Gambia has banned such sex tourism, the real solution to the problem is not to openly shout at European tourists, but to create more jobs for young people in the country.
When the income goes up, naturally no one does this kind of "business".
