The government shouldve provided somewhere for the vendors to go FIRST before kicking them out
True, so sad for them. All those years...
They are telling them to go to the market when the market is already packed to capacity, this is a very sad situation for these individuals just trying to support their families
They can go back to their countries
They do have a few places but they chose not to go there. Gambians have shown me the big empty fields designated for vendors
There’s a market few meters from the overpass that can accommodate 1000+ vendors and no one is there, the market is now closed. But the real problem is that most vendors believe that, if they do not sell on the edges of the road they will not make lot of money. Sad but The whole country cannot be a market. I’m a Gambian and I live here so I know how important this operation is
I am sympathetic to those who are affected by this action. However, the whole area from Brikama to Westfield was so congested due to these vendors obstruction of traffic and pedestrians that it was affecting the country's economic growth. Caused the streets to flood during rainy season and unnecessary accidents.
Not to mention that the whole area looked like a flea market, and the trash was thrown into the streets.
This is an economy dependent on tourism and who wants to see this wherever they go.
I've heard Gambians state that inviting guess from outside the country was embarrassing for them.
I am happy to see these changes.
So true pretty much the whole country is congested it’s time to fix it, people just have to understand you can’t just set up anywhere to sell especially if you’re not the owner, I don’t think it’s fair to set up in front of a person who’s paying taxes storefront businesses the customer can’t get in the store because you have all your stuff in ther doorway, not right!!
People need trash containers and a garbage company like in the west. The only place to put trash is in the ground. If they had containers and trucks they could fine/ arrest people for littering.
Gambia is being modernized but I hope they keep local markets somewhere for locally grown fruits and veggies.
So do I because if not you’ll have all this genetically altered food making people sick. That Maggie stuff causes heart attacks and is banned in many European countries. Yet, they sell it in Africa. They are trying to reduce our numbers to takeover the continent easier.
I’m a Gambian and I support this operation 100%
It was long overdue. The country was so disorganized and people erected stalls everywhere without following due process.
Yes it’s time ♥️🖤💚 we are here to help our brothers and sisters as well
@@blackacresofthegambia Thank you so much for your contribution. You re doing an amazing. Once again, Welcome back home.
Thank you so much @bahdemba ♥️🥰
So Now How They Feed The Family They Need Jobs Some People Are So Selfish Yeah If You Got A Income Cool But People Need A Make Money What Are They Doing For The Poor People That's Not American There Is No Jobs People Dieing To Leave People Whom Got It Made Don't Care How Others Eat So What's Good ...For
Some Not Good For All What Ever They Like.. Build Some Factories Maybe That Will Help People Of Poverty 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Needed Roads But People Need Work And For Some That's All They Have I've Been There I Seen The Life My Husband Lives There And His Family They Need Factories Jobs And A Government Who Cares For The People Not Just Them Selfs🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@sherrymartin2896 You can just share your opinion on this matter without disrespecting or calling me names. I can be rude too! In as much as we want our people to engage in business, it has to be in accordance with our laws. There’s no country where you can do whatever you want in the name of putting food on the table. Even in your country, there re rules that govern the country! There’s a market few meters from the overpass, let them go there and do business.
Change always hurts poor people and makes the wealthy richer.
Change is more meant to hurt poor people, it’s our responsibility to keep up with what’s current and how the world operates. 😊
@@prosperousnatasha8153 Many African leaders are failing its people and selling out to the foreigners. Africans must stop being passive and demand better. Get involved instead of just complaining. They need free education and healthcare to overcome poverty. Ignorance keeps people suffering.
I am all for development and improvement, but I see some nice building they are distroying are causing no obstruction or in the way and they are damaging them. I think they should use their initiative when they are doing things.
The sunset is something else in The Gambia… wow!
My husband just called me from the gambia and said this is what is happening. I love this area when i was there.And I ask the same thing , what will happen to the people who are trying to sell their stuff.
Good idea….would be nice if they had a place for them to continue to sell.
They did the same thing in Ghana cleared out vendors and all the store front got the business.
They do but chose otherwise
They do have a place to sell. They just don’t want to sell there.
The government should rebuild better modernized infrastructure, in the markets and for the people
Greetings BAG Queen and King, that sunrise would make a great postcard. One thing we can be sure of, and that is change. The Gambia is well on its way to making that change. Surely The Gambian governance has a plan for those who were displaced? Continue doing great things and BAG is the future of The BAG. Thanks for sharing.
That material progress in the Gambia , is an oncoming steam roller, get on it or get out of the way!!!😮
The Tropic Shooping Center is still quite empty, and is not being utilized well.
Why not charge approximately 100 dalasi per week and allow a few vendors to sell their goods in the empty floors/sections of that Mall, and other Malls.
The flow of traffic may be a win+win for the prior local street vendors, as well as the Shopping Mall Investors.
In addition, the Gambian Government can build a quick inexpensive Shed/building type of structure for these vendors.
They can give the structure and the location a name, and then advertise its existence to the public.
i cant wait till i can get over there
Maybe their gov could do like some of the Caribbean nations and have an indoor market with stalls! It's a mess in those streets.
I enjoyed your video. Gambia 🇬🇲 is doing a great government. I have a question 🤔 are you doing 🤔 any vedio on the safety 🤔 tips for Americans, black women living, and visiting 🎉the Gambia 🇬🇲 after the deaf of 6 Africa Americans women ??

some of us will have to be dragged kicking n screaming into the future
This is overdue. The government provided spaces for sellers, but they choose to not use market spaces. Congrats to the government and the police for enforcing laws. They need to go. You move them and they comeback. On the oppsite side of turntable they built a beautiful flea market beyond the police station. The sellers don't want to use the fleamarket space because it's away from the roads. So happy to see progress in a beautiful country.
💯🎯💯 Thank you sis ♥️♥️
You guys are simply the best
Hello Rick and Cynthia they have a place to sale their food and vegetables and drinks they said they don’t want to pay to sale
Exactly that’s it, the whole country shouldn’t look like a garage sale so I like what they’re doing most watching from afar doesn’t see what we do 🥰♥️
❤❤❤❤
Great Job by the Government, there were to many businesses being ran illegally and not following the rules of the land whilst other businesses did things the right way, so many illegal structures making some parts of the country look like slums and backwards full of trash, finally roads are being addressed a new mall 100s of Diasporans moving there opening businesses giving jobs to the locals, you have TAF City so affordable housing lots of places to eat, all positive stuff give Gambia 10 years and it will be better for everyone 🎉🎉new projects new buildings equals jobs for the locals.
You are exactly right ♥️♥️
Yess it’s time to put some rules in place for the country ♥️♥️♥️
Definitely a Beautiful Sunrise ❤
I agree with the road side clean up but I'm gonna miss my lil veggie lady at Turntable. 😥 She is such a sweetheart.
😂 🤣 🤣 🤨🤨 ???
I believe they will set up in a more organized way, here ♥️❤️♥️
I hope so bc seeing these ppl impacted in this way breaks my heart. They work hard to support their families.@@blackacresofthegambia
Bag bag bag❤❤❤
I hope there's a plan in place to go back to every area for cleaning and just don't leave the demolition like that.
Yes that’s wat I say it’s time for some of the leaders here to take that stance and help the country, I do hope they will do that for the people
I AGREED- EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL
Transportation development measures often displace components of the community. However, these measures were weaponized in the US to displace some communities with minimal political influence. I don't believe that is the case here. Just the price of progress.
I want Gambia to remain the same. The same thing destroyed this Country the USA
Nothing should ever stay the same, change is inevitable. I can understand the idea of keeping the tradition and what makes a place special. They should create a fresh market for vendors to go and sell. Each vendor can rent a booth each month if they want. Takes little to know money to create a space for them.
Thank you but it’s not fair to just setup a place they don’t own or have paid to sell ther especially ther in front of th pharmacy, gas station bakery, bank you can hardly get into these places, I think they are doing right, maybe they will find a place for them to set up to continue selling like renting a booth somewhere more organized
That's USA control by comporation that not the case for Gambia WE want to organise clean priod
Can't agree with you here. Do you want us to continue importing food and not growing our food? Do you want us to continue with the same poor health care, education, roads, building practices etc? Do you want Gambians to continue dying in the ocean going the back way due to lack of employment in the Gambia?
We cannot stay the same.
Thank you @JD ♥️♥️
I know y'all already know this but youtube shadow bans your video's. I haven't got a recommendation for your videos in months
