I have done a thread on this
it was Gambia and another sad nation,


Its Good of Thomas Cook
to make a Effort.

The Airport is expected to Close
due to a Election and War


Gambia used to be owned by us
under our British Empire.
They have a top level tourist zone
and beach.


But its not worth the risk,now

Political corruption in Africa? Surely not. I'm led to believe that the UK is the most corrupt government in the world! Is that not true?

Africa is a cesspit when it comes to political leaders, once they get in they want the job for life:shrug:

Its fcuking disgusting. Most other European countries have been stopping holiday flights to Gambia and getting tourists safely home for many weeks. It seems that England is the last in line to be getting people out but instead they’ve been handing out cheap trips.

This danger hasn't just started. The country has been in a very unpredictable state for months and the threat of a 'state of emergency was imminent'. My question is, how the hell could our government have left the warning to get out so late when Yahya Jammeh is a complete mad man who has been persistently threatening to kill all none Muslims including tourists.
