Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Temir Porras denied the information provided by the head of the Rural Electrification
Project in Gambia, Lang SaballyThe Venezuelan government said it has not donated USD 22 million to overhaul the electricity grid in Gambia, contrary to the statements made in Banjul by a Gambian official, reported Venezuelan official news agency AVN.

Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Temir Porras published on his Twitter account that such information was false. "This is false," tweeted Porras.
The head of the Rural Electrification Project in Gambia, Lang Sabally, said at a news conference Monday that Venezuela had donated USD 22 million to finance the overhaul of the Gambian power grid and improve its energy coverage, as quoted by AFP.
The funding of the rural electrification project should make possible the "revamping, overhaul, and extension of the power grid in the capital Banjul and its surroundings," said Sabally.

If you have a grudge you cannot control
Then go home and camp outside Kanilai.
I bet Jammeh wouldn't even piss on you.
For your information I am just back from the Gambia were spend all the ramadan month am not trapped. For every word you say against me I thank you and appreciate it. All we have in common is we all call ourselves Gambians which different in opinions can never change. Thanks my brother and I ask for your forgiveness if I have used any abusive language in any of my comments which I dont think I have done so. Keep up your morals and your attitude will decide your destiny.
When you say am angry of with the West you make me laugh. I say what I know about them and you judge me chronic ignorant and angry? Who should I be angry with? A global problem which politician upon politician cannot address is the one I should be worried of ? My brother am only angry when I fail to overcome my challenges or obligations not a global challenge that is expected to be address by politicians.Thank you for the debate and enough is enough let those with neutral senses read and judge who is ignorant.
Is a disease that is found in Africa and America. Spread to humans through insect bites. In Africa the fly responsible is called Testse fly and in America the insect is called Reduviid. In America alone 16million to 18million currently have the disease. Approximately 50,000 may die from the disease each year. Cryptosporidium is a worldwide disease and people vulnerable are people who take medication to suppress their immune system, people with HIV/AIDS or transplant recipients. Those at higher risk include animal handlers, men who have sex with men and young children. Outbreaks could be linked to swimming in contaminated pools and lakes and drinking unpasteurized cider. Well my brother giving these examples were those it tell us causes are due to poverty? You have really betrayed Africa and here you say you have concern for Gambia and Africa. With regards to Gambia Google out the WHO report and see the giant steps the Gambia has taken.
Being label as a poor continent interms of economic it is always associated with diseases and the person vulnerable to diseases is the poor but some breaks of diseases are due to the environment (weather) you live. You know African environment or weather allows some organisms or insects to survive that is not possible to survive in the western weather. So associating Africa with diseases is a big disappointment to your knowledge and a betrayal to the African continent which believes it’s us who can change that western mentality of Africa. Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world not specifying Africa or Asia. Is passed from one person to the other by blood or blood fluid. Infection is either acute or chronic. 2 billion people die worldwide of the disease. Dengue another infectious disease, reported 2000 deaths in America for the year 2002.
