The Gambia: broke but hopeful

Authorities in the Gambia say they've been holding talks with foreign investors in a bid to put the country's economy back on track, after decades of dictatorship under the former president Yahya Jammeh. The exiled leader is accused of having stolen 50 million US dollars from the state treasury. Bakary Jammeh is the newly-appointed Governor of the Central Bank in the Gambia. He spoke to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Newsday.
