Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

People in The Gambia have been complaining of a shortage of fish, which is the primary source of protein for many in the country. The finger of blame has been pointed at Chinese trawlers accussed of over-fishing in Gambian waters, with allegations of bribery of officials to look the other way. Journalist, Mustapha K Darboe of the Malagen news website helped break the story and has been talking to the 麻豆社's Esau Williams. (Photo: A woman walks past a fish merchant at the Banjul market.
