Greetings Bla Xit family

We apologise if the clip showing police brutality in England caused you any distress. However, we thought it would be neccessary to highlight the difference between the relationship that we had with the police in England in comparison to the relationship that we have with the police here in Gambia.

Many subscribers have contacted us asking if Gambia is safe or how dangerous the country is. So, we invited an off duty police officer to talk to you about policing and safety in the Gambia. Please like, share, comment and subscribe!

Franck Zanu of @FranckZanu joins the State of the Nation for one of the most explosive and thought-provoking conversations we’ve had all year.

Zanu — whose viral insights on Africa, culture, development and geopolitics have sparked global debate — confronts the ideas many leaders avoid:
• Why African countries continue to struggle economically
• What “culture” really means for development
• Why corruption isn’t the true root cause
• How colonialism is misunderstood
• Why South Africa’s political structure is destined for conflict
• The controversial “tribal nation” model he believes could save the continent
• And why Western countries secretly want Africa to succeed

This is not a conversation about blaming or excuses.
It’s a conversation about responsibility, culture, identity, and hard truths.

If you care about Africa’s future, South Africa’s political direction, or global geopolitics — you will not forget this episode.

✨ Tell us in the comments: Is Franck Zanu right or wrong?
