THE GAMBIA CULTURE : WRESTLING

The Gambia's National Sport, wrestling (or 'Borreh' as it is commonly known), is similar to Greco-Roman wrestling but with a few twists, so join me in the heath of the fight...(°2000); to know more about The Gambia see ( http://www.visitthegambia.gm/ )

Gambia used to be a great place for a family holiday about 15 years ago, but now it is full of beggars, prostitutes and bloody mosques everywhere you go.

My wife and kids just won't go there anymore.

And the worst thing about it is the vile muslim dictator president, Yayah Jammeh, who has destroyed the place and is trying to bring in a law to execute Gambians gays.

Tourism has fallen dramatically in the last 10 years.

Go to Ghana - its much better as a destination.

I saw nice wrestling in 1994, but 10- 12 years later in 2004-05 it was not possible to see any wrestling.

What a pity.
