minx Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 "NO SOCCER IN THE RAIN" (Reuters) BANJUL - Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh has banned youths from playing soccer in the rainy season, saying they should be toiling in the fields to boost agriculture. Jammeh, a bird-loving former wrestler who seized power in a 1994 coup, said on a meet-the-people tour that Gambia's young needed to work to make the West African country self-sufficient in food, rather than kicking a soccer ball around. "Youths in rural areas should not involve themselves with football in the coming rainy season (June to October). Failure to do so and I will send them to jail. I mean it," Jammeh said on his tour of the West African country. Gambia's 1.25 million people survive on tourism, fishing and groundnuts. yikes... Does this mean that we aren't going to see Gambia in Germany 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
