  • he's not funny

  • REAL witches - Wiccans - are actually very kind and gentle. They have this rule called the threefold law... they believe that everything bad they do comes back to them THREE TIMES as bad, whereas good deeds come back to them three times as good. They aren't going to go around "cursing" people or whatever bullshit.

  • @dreamingofdrusilla You are completley correct, thank you so much for saving me five posts at this video :)

  • Its the Gambian Inquisition!

  • Yet another perfect example of just how "good" and "smart" Christians are.

  • hu d fuck re u?& wa do u kno about gambia?

    go talk about your mofucking country!!pussy asshole!!

  • @outlowzzz This big belly bozo has no clue what goes on, all he does it get a press release and some chop and edit footage from the same media and government they discredit and then report it as if they know. fools.

  • Witches unlike the Church's history don't put spell on people. I believe this is black magic which got nothing to do with black people. Its called black cuz' it is not understood by the mass.

    Why not pose the video ? to back yourself cuz I am Gambian and I would believe an authenticated video people post your hating comments after after seeing the video.

  • my god witches?

    interesting.

  • I bet none of these supposed witches are as powerful as I am. My magical essence is so great that when I go to a super market, I don't open the doors, the doors open for ME!

  • I do agree with him that torture never works b/c people wil say anything to get the pain to stop.

  • Why is this even on the U.S.? When does the U.S. ever have Gambia on the news? They are always ready to show anything negative about Africa on the news. This is not something that is important enough to be on the news especially in a different country.

  • My preveous school suports a village in Gambia. 

  • This type of IGNORANCE is a plague in west Africa. I'm Nigerian and we have similar situations. There are places in Nigeria were children are being ABUSED and ABANDONED because they are suspected of being a witch, and I'm talking about 5 year old CHILDREN! I pray that Africa gets more intelligent leaders that give up some of these old archaic "cultural" beliefs! All of the witch doctors and juju priests should be eradicated!

  • @ugomma Alot of unblievable things are said to take place in Nigeria but Gambia do not practice child rape (abuse) Islamic leaders do not look at other men cuz' they are usually married.

    Gambia is peaceful and alot of other African natives call it home.

  • im native from gambia, ive been there twice and ive heard alot about this shit...

  • A damn shame... stupid gets too many people killed. They're like zombies. They're not really a threat but when too many gang up on you, you're up against the wall without a clue.

  • omg why you lieing soo much that never happ in gaimba

  • wow you know im your fan i agree with you all the time this time your lieing gambia president said his family teached him how to heal people like HIV and diffrent desies they never talked about witches I been in gambia  many many times i never heard someone say what you just said before i belived every thing you sad but now im not going to belive anything you say now WOW

  • I know people who have been to Gambia and it has no history of witches YoungTurks is a drity liar

  • if they were really fricken witches dontt u think those witches would know how to escape death or captivity WOW the idiocy

  • Is this for real?

  • Oh shit, time to cross off Gambia on my list of vacation spots. I need to tell Hermione.

  • So? In Uganda they don't want to eat da Poo Poo!

  • Historically, "witches" were herbalists and midwives. The growing man dominated medical profession wanted to put a stop to their practice. Could be some modern medical establishment types involved in this also in Gambia.

  • shut the fuck up youu idiot

  • Witches in Gambia? The next thing they're goung to tell us is there are unicorns in Sudan a big joke.

  • Africa is poor coz the western took all its oil and diamonds. @105km I don`t think u have ever been to Africa and especially not to the Smiling coast. You talk about that they are uneducated? YOU are the uneducated one!

    By the way, I am from Norway, and have been in africa 7 times, and I`ve learned SO much from the people I have met there.

    One love. Bless

  • wtf? the young turks? why are you talkin about gambia...fuck dat

    motherfuckers

  • You such a asshole, Gambia does not have any witches idiot. Same on you sucker

  • fuck you man!

    You come here, to the internet, and start talking shit about my country?!

    FUCK YOU MAN! I HOPE JAH TAKES YOU AND PUT YOU IN ETERNITY HELL!!

    Have you ever been in Gambia?

    Of course "His fucked up DR. Yaha" is a mad man, but isent this fucking american George W. Bush a mad man?

    He starts war, and put american military on Holy muslim land!?

  • @Subway2K9 what the fuck's a jah?

    and what kind of freak hopes for someone else to suffer forever?

  • Maybe u don't have anything interesting to talk about on this show...i hate people who try too hard to be funny...my friend maybe u have the countries mixed up but not gambia...do u know where gambia is or have u ever been to gambia???...i see lots of comediens using this type of jokes talking about a small country and lying about it, thinking the people won't see it...we gambians are very proud so fuck u and your show.

  • why wont people stop lying. nobody had a sign saying we are not witches.. i was in the Gambia all that and a gambian too.. if u dont like my country then shut up.. its among the best countries and very peaceful.. every president have glicthes

  • TNB

  • why cant our pres juz step down. he is such a pussy

  • this is all lie,the fucking president accusing people of being wiches,we burn the president for telling lie,branding them wiches.the president must go to hell,we burn him,

  • hey can you plase sitta fuck this guy. he is trying to tiyna our country the Gambia. I am a gambian and i like to be an gambia so this is not a true story let him fuckup

  • shut the f*** up

  • Theese idiots needs to stop hating on african countries, Gambia is one of the most beautiful and Relaxing countries in the africa.

  • I Agree, I go to Gambia almost every year, because my father is Gambian, wich makes me half gambian! It is THE best country in Africa!

  • I'm a Gambian and proud of it, we may have a president who doesn't think before speaking most of the time but at least his running the country the way people want it.

    Would like to say to 105km, f%^k you, you mutha f%$ka.

    Would like to say to turks, they can get f%$k too mutha f%^kers.

  • ive been to the gambia twice and can i just say this is bullshit !!!!!!

    it is one of the best places in africa to go to not only for its wildlife but for the warm climates and the people who call it home.

    they dont call it the smiling coast for nothing

  • i belive you, but i saw a video of some africans or something burning "witches"

    not sure if it was in gambia tho

  • I'm sure Gambia must be a beautiful country and I would like to go there one day. All this talk of witchcraft in African countries is very worrying though. In Nigeria many children have been murdered after being accused of putting spells on people. It makes you wonder what "demons" drive people to do such terrible things to the innocent and vulnerable!

  • gambia is beautiful and its people too, the people of gambia are more human than most,

  • SMH THEY DEAD BLOWING US !!! GAMBIA ISS a GUUD COUNTRY

  • fuck these bastarass turks. theyre blowing it up. suck yu madda.

  • Lol.... and humans think they are so evolved and everything.

  • Damn, Africa is a fucked up continent... War, crime, poverty, overpopulation and THIS...

  • it really isn't overpopulated, lol.

  • actualy it is. 165/km2 is overpopulated

  • Gambia is not overpopulated, is a small country ,but wit only 1.5 million people. ok. and with crime, and poverty it is found everywhere even here in the usa.concerning war, not all african countries are at war. u are the kind of people who think nothing good comes out from africa.

  • yes, it is. 165/km2 is overpopulated. I dont think nothing good comes out of Africa. Its just that, their uneducated, poor etc. Its not their foult. Its just that their governments are usualy corrupt and incompitent. Look at Zimbabwe. It was a growing economy untill the idiot, Robert Mugabe came along. He took the land from the white farmers and gave it to people who didnt know how to manage it. Now their influation is trough the roof. Africa is one big mess

  • @105km White muthafuckas! still hating on africa and its people. we sit back and laugh at you fools with your protest and strikes, africans are the ones who made you who you are today. You fools stole all the natural resources from africa and still are not happy? guilty assholes you people can never be happy in life, africans are very proud and happy people despite of how poor some of them are. vanity doesn't bring happiness.

  • @jahguide010 You are Right .

  • @105km lol, wasn't that the guy who "banned" inflation^^

  • @105km

    africa was always a shithole even when coorporations started heavily investing in south africa....or when they were british colonies and were organized and very good lead.

  • @105km Plus, it is full of nig gers...

  • @105km What a spelling and you call yourself educated?" /better off than Gambians?

  • @105km What a spelling and you call yourself educated?" /better off than Gambians?

    Was the church uneducated at the time it was killing people accused of being witch?

  • @105km We can be uneducated, corrupt and incompitent yet we developing our countries, much better that the white did, during the colonial period. Did u ever ask urself, what the whites did for Africa during the Colonial Ara, when it comes to development? Well i ill tell u... nothing absolutely, all they did was to take all the wealth from Africa.

  • Infact, u most be crazy or u don't know what u saying. Did u say "nothing good comes out of Africa" if nothing good comes out of Africa, how about the gold and diamond u enriched urself with? Nothing good ill come out of Africa, because u stole everything that was there... Shut da fuck up fool... u have no idea what u talking about

  • @105km So the darms should only belong to white people? Black people dont know how to farm?

  • @godwilliam

    Thats not what I said at all. Read my goddamn comment first

  • @105km saying nothing good comes out of africa is such an arrogant statement you stupid idiot why is everybody still so stupid? i dont get it..

  • @dustyowl99

    read my comment first and then argue. I never said that

  • @105km Shut the fuck up

  • America and Gambia. Not so different after all. Bunch of Barbarians. Setting development back a thousand years by using torture.

  • you are completly right.

  • excellent point about torture.

    a) its obvious they're not witches

    b) but under torture they admit to being witches

    conclusion: Obviously torture makes the person tell the quickest lie to make the pain stop.

  • No way, the reasoning is too intelligent for them to even consider....

    or... maybe.. they know, they just torture them on purpose. *sigh*

    Btw, that same "dirty water" he's talking about seems like the same one to what they would give women in the bible when they were pregnant so if she had a miscarriage it was from another guy, if she doesn't .. she didn't "cheat" .. lol ... not very different at all it seems ...

    Savages, they never seem to change by much, do they?

  • This happens in Nigeria, too. And nice segway, Cenk. A cheap political jab to pander to your fucking progressive agenda. There's a time and a place.

  • If you want America to actually stand for its values (such as Liberty and Justice), you can't just toss your principles aside whenever you feel like it.

    Torture is never okay. Nobody should stoop down to that level.

    And people wonder why America is considered hypocritical.

  • man u said it!! just perfect resumed

  • u dumb ass! witches are real. they are Pagans and Wiccans. Thats a earth based religion that was way BC

  • Really now? Witchcraft.. or AIDS?

  • witchcraft lol. shit dont come to the south. texas and louisiana got plenty of witchcraft...

  • Be careful though, we in the west are a bit hang up on the term "witches". A witch isnt necessarily confined to voodoo, perhaps just negative focus and intent is enough

  • WTF are you talking about? Naming a WOMAN as a witch is condemning her to unfair treatment.

    This is the basic principle for bigotry all over the world. You decide which people you want to control or don't like (homosexuals, women, etc) and then you make up some cosmic bullshit that god has told you to oppress them.

  • Sometimes... I just really don't know what to say.. WITCHES? Wtf?

  • i live in gambia and i neva heard about dis but it might be true our leader can be a bit loopy

  • Man you most be sleeping if you said you not heard of this story

  • Let's be honest about one thing: How freaking cool would it be if we all had broomsticks? that' d be so freaking sweet! i say bring on the witchcraft! let's get some harry potter stuff going on.

  • Why are they rounding up people and calling them witches now ? Is it an attempt of the government to distract and blame others for the countries problems ?

  • For those who do not know this man Jammeh - a little reminder. He seized power by force in a military coup from a democratically elected government. He has absolutely NO medical training whatsoever and is known to have had only a very basic state education in Africa. He is typical of his type - charming but devious, strong but a bully, clever but a fool, and he has become a laughing stock across the world therefore making the wonderful Gambian people look very foolish....It is very sad..

  • That is just fucked up... All I can say

  • How does the government know that they are witches?

  • haha they know their people alright!

  • gambia is in west africa..near senegal..am from there..our president is kinda sick, mentally. dat shit stopped though

  • see how horrible religion and ignorance(no difference) is?

    also good bit about torture. Check out what Christopher Hitchens has to say about it.

  • Gambia is a country in Africa.

  • thats sick..very evil...

  • wat a shame on president jammeh..disgracing all gambians world wide..how ignorant is it to arrest your own people accusing them of being witches.thats just dumb

  • where is gambia??

  • where exactly is gambia?

  • in Africa dammit... O_o

  • What do you want America do? Get into another war? Stick our noses into another nation? Like Iraq and Vietnam didnt teach us anything?

  • This shit isnt even close to being funny.This is a dumb ass ruler killing his own people while the whole world watches.Then when people are tired and revolt against the system,thousands more die,and "the all too powerful so called west "start making all types of excuses for not acting so soon.Lets learn from what happening in Darfur,Congo etc

  • is not only da west who's suppose to fix africa's problems.Gambia is peaceful,our president fears he might loose his position.dats y he doin all this shit dats happening moe

  • Salem Witch Trials, McCarthy Communist lists, The War on Terror...

    Funny how history doesnt change.

  • "witch" in gambia =

    "terrorist" or "communist" in america

  • that makes sense i thought they were talking about actual witches, like harry potter, lolz.

  • harry potter isnt real..

  • omg, really?? your kidding!!! roflllll.

  • huh..???

  • "harry potter isnt real.."

    you take that back!

  • um, yeah, except terrorists are, how do you say..."real?" And witches, in this context are, how do you say, "things that only little children, retards, and, apparently, Africans, believe in?"

  • it wasn't long ago an American teacher was fired for witchcraft for having done a simple magic trick.

  • yeah of course america has more than its share (though far less than its share compared to africa) of idiots. the difference, with respect to your example, is that said teacher can, and probably did, sue for big bucks, and win. and if he/she didn't, then it's on him/her; at least he/she has that protection.

  • doesnt change the fact that in America, like Africa people have recently been persecuted for witchcraft.

  • no, it just makes that fact far less significant. also, there's a big difference between persecution and government sanctioned prosecution.

  • yeah Africa needs it own fair share of Witch-hunt Like America & Europe!

  • Gambia is about the size of New jersey, so its not "africa" it is a small part of it.

    you are a fool

  • ..but the problem of sorcery is not only exclusive to gambia, sorcery and metaphysic in most part of Africa as a matter of fact is a reality! Africa and sorcery goes hand in hand! That was my point! Besides I lived in Africa and I know what i'm talking about!

  • Yeah, I bet you blame the white man for everything. The sky is falling, thats because the white man whent to the moon...

    Lets not forget such wonderful African leaders as Idi Amin or Robert Mugabe. Or the "prosperous" country of Tunisia which had white slaves from south of Europe back in the day, or the dysfunctional racist towards white South Africa country. If you think Africa is considered a 3rd world continent just because of foreign investment you are a fool.

  • LoL.

    Sure, you where -just- attacking what I said by implying I was a racist, which has nothing to do with my "character" as a person. I get the sense I actually have to point out I am being sarcastic for some reason...

    "If what you said was NOT a slimy justification for black slavery, then what is it?"

    Actually, youre the one that said that.

    LoL, you really are not that bright.

  • why do you people always blame the West and big corperations. fact is some cultures are primitive and believe more nonsense than others. Africa is Primitive as is Arabia. It has to do with culture rather than economics. Just as you have nutty backward Jews and Christains. Africa is packed with backward people just like the Caribbean and Latin America. Get serious, when you mix Jesus with backward cultures of Africa there can be no progress

  • "...slimy justification for black slavery."

    Are you seriously saying no one would perceive you where trying to imply I was racist by a statement like that?

    Man, you must be a really insulting person to be around if you cant tell what most people can clearly see you imply.

    As for your question, I cant really say your org post is any more on point than mine is.

    Yet you org replied to me...

    Why dont you show others the curtsy of staying on point before you expect it from others towards you?

  • "...slimy justification for black slavery."

    Its hypocrisy and calling it out isnt racist.

    But I really dont care if you think I am, or not.

    In similar context its like being called a antisemitic for criticizing Israel for killing innocent civilians during there bombings...

    But I wonder if you just think the way you do because you think black people that live today, which have never been slaves, still deserve "compensation" for "not ever being slaves" just because they are from the same race.

  • How do superstitious people not believe in witches. There is an EQUAL amount of evidence for witches as there is for Jesus/God!

    If there is a sufficient superstitiousness to believe in a invisible Wizard in the sky then there is no way to deny the existence of witches flying around on broom sticks.

    Just the other day God was speaking to me and said its OK to kill witches because that's what He wrote in the Bible that we should to them.

    After all, its part of His divine Plan!

  • Hey, can we get some "dirty water" to give to Dick Cheney? LMAO

  • Excellent point Cenk!

  • yes,its a moslem country,and usually african witchcraft stories abound in african christian countries!I thought the moslem religious leaders in gambia would not allow that witchcraft bullshit.!And yes,what is happening in Nigeria with "witch"children is terrible.Condoned by the "christian"churches of course.

  • "Witch Hunt"

  • good to see someone is finally doing something about witches

  • There's actually some justification to their "Witch Hunt" except it's not the supernatural kind of witchcraft. It isn't only women either. From what I have experienced over the last few years these people poison each other a lot and a lot of people die. It comes down to doing each other in for almost nothing. Simple murder.

  • we need more science

  • lol.. not all Witches fly around on broomsticks..

  • America will become Gambia if Palin is ever elected.

  • cenk what do you expect from an ignorant and power drunk African leader who has no bearings whatsoever of governing the people but rather seeking for turmoil to divert people`s attention so that he can transfer millions of dollars to swiss banks effectively.This is the way business is done down there..

  • Leave the Wiccans Alone Gambian Douches!! The Whole WORLD Is Watching This Time! Yure on notice.

  • yes i am aware there are more chinese and indians but if you compare africans to europeans, africans are in much greater numbers..and when you outnumber your enemy five hundred to one i dont think "modern warfare" is much of an excuse, not to mention europeans have been taking advantageof africa for over four hundred years or so, and so i conclude that if they stop fighting each other maybe they can focus on the real problem!!!

  • Sounds like Sarah Palin should fly down to Gambia to assist in combating the witches what with all her experience in using her Bible to fight them.

  • gambia, get out of the 1600's.

  • hahaha...am 4rm Gambia...lived there till i turned 18...witches???? thats a first.....

  • This is so demoralizing. :(

  • yes,and interestingly enough-it is a moslem country!

  • what u mean moslem country?

    peppermintpaddy

  • so what? there are tons of Christian African countries that still believe in witchcraft, for instance Nigerian priests demonise little children who suffer so much abuse- belief in witchcraft in Africa is part and parcel of beliefs and practices before Islam and Christianity- what difference does it make that people in Gambia are Muslim? every muslim is evil right?

  • America has born again Christians and Gambia has witches. Same thing.

  • Good point. I know anytime I meet a "born again christian" especially in business related situations, that I should double check the contract and make sure everything is documented. Shady fuckers.

  • children are being persecuted as witches in some parts of Africa. From what I have read it is often their step parent that says they are witches - it is more likely to be a wicked step mother than witches

  • hahaha...y does he sometimes speak of Philippines or filipinos...lol...

    there are witch doctors in philippines though...and when the day of saints or wateva we call 'em, evil minions come out...like lycans, witches, and vampire...well not technically, it's more of half woman with no hips, legs...etc..but will eat ur baby and sip ur blood. :|

  • Aren't witch doctors the same thing as a witch?

  • so I take it Harry Potter is not on Gambia's best seller list huh?

  • Why don't you stop using modern medicine, computers, the internetz, cars, airplanes, electricity, central heating and so forth?

    It's wtchcraft I tell you.... LOL

  • British reality TV star Goody make a racist comment to a hindu girl.Then goes to India for a TV appearance.Was later diagnosed with cancer and dies.THAT'S FUCKING WITCHCRAFT.

  • right because everyone who makes a racist comment gets cancer. no thats not witchcraft thats some shitty fucking luck or he already had cancer prior to the trip.Try using some rational thought.

  • Exactly! Very well said.

  • If Jane Goody had testicle cancer or if a big bad werewolfe came along an ripped her appart in the middle of the street, THAT would have been witchcraft

    Sadly about 1,000 women per year die of cervical cancer in the UK, and we know what the main cause of it is,

    human papillomavirus infection.

    Cancer is indifferent, it doesn't matter if you are famous or rich, black or white.

    But there are some things a woman can do to reduce the risk of getting cervical cancer, and it's not praying.

  • Gambia is actually known for it's rats, people used to buy them as pets here, this story sounds like something you read in the onion

  • its like a witch unt

  • West Africa has long been highly murderous as a result of Christian evangelism. Many many children and women have died as a result. watch?v=EUJSME0TORw

  • "thou shall not suffer a witch to live...".... look the bible says there are withces so it must be true.....

  • but it does not define what a witch is or how witchcraft works. I'll give you a hint. Your headache medication is a form of witchcraft. Using aloe vera to treat a burn is witchcraft. Cocaine is a form of witchcraft. This is just how "witchcraft" is used in everyday society, not the religious beliefs, but the practices.

  • Witchcraft by definition is the use of sorcery, magic or any other supernatural power.

    There are perfect natural explenation why and how modern medicine works why certain substances in plants are good for our heralth, how and why drugs work, why they are addictive and how they potentially can damage our health, it has absolutely nothing to do with magic at all.

    By the way, alternative medicine was never able to do better in a clinical test then any other placebo.

  • DeletedDelusion: I'm not sure what you mean by "alternative medicine," but most pharmaceuticals are synthetic versions of plant alkaloids. Aspirin, for instance, comes from the use of white willow bark as a pain reliever. Modern drugs are still being discovered based on research with traditional peoples and their herbal remedies.

  • I meant for example homeopathy or acupuncture.

    Of course in certain plants there are chemicals that have a influence on the body which can be explained and measured, I have no issue with that.

  • What is "alternative medicine"?

  • Any healing practice that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine.

    Practices in which scientific investigation has not yet established the safety and effectiveness.

  • I'm all for science but a lot of the "conventional" medicines are not for healing at all. They're more for symptom management and even in that they tend to create new symptoms known as side effects. Don't get me wrong, I'm about to go to the store and pick up some more Excedrin migraine in a little bit so I'm not against conventional meds, but I know that "alternative" and preventative measures are probably my best bet for overall wellness.

  • right... do you know where exedrine even comes from?

  • I got a thumbs down for what I said? That's interesting... anywho, Excedrin comes from a lab. I went to the website but realized I don't care that much where the lab is located. It's made from aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen. I'm also not sure nor do I care all that much how these components are synthesized and combined.

  • i didn't give your comment a thumbs down. Just alot of people throw down the term alternative medicine not knowing where actual medicine comes from, but as in seeing you are know your stuff i would like to know what you view as alternative medicine. Basically since you know that medicine comes from mostly natural elements what you would view as alternative.

  • I guess that's my point. I don't consider any of if "alternative" there are modern day pharmaceuticals that alleviate symptoms rather well and then ways of living and eating that can lead to wellness and healing. I wish I followed the latter far more than I relied on the former. :/

  • lol fair enough. Although its never too late to condition yourself with preventative mesures.. well thats not true. Its usually never too late except in some extreme cases.Its all about having the mentality to do so. Which is the hardest part.

  • Word.

    :D

  • yeah but the Christian wanted to destroy the old pagan religions so they could be more powerful so they killed innocent pagans, its basically another way for them to kill and persecute people who are diffrent

  • religions nature is to kill, destroy, manipulate and subjigate the masses. its how it existed for so long.
