Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain

The Amb****ador Project Blaxit 23 Views • 6 years ago

Bla Xit Family, we have had many inquiries about Medium and Large investment opportunities in Realty and Property pre development. So in answer to your questions we went to see the Amb****ador at Large for Investment and Business for The Republic of the Gambia Mr Modou Lamin Sima. He was so accommodating and wonderful even offering us a sumptuous feast of my favorite Gambian food including Findi. He told us about some project but the one that interested us the most was his very own one. We went to Kairaba Avenue, Westfields an excellent location in the heart of a business center that is central to every facility beaches and commercial business and banks. It is off the main road and close to a local stadium used by local people. He plans to build an apartment block housing 32 rooms with a potential expansion opportunity it has mainly 2 bedroom apartments and 3 single rooms . Each apartment will be fully furnished and will have a Living room with TV and two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms, with air conditioning, Wifi etc. And investment opportunity including commercial business opportunities below including a mini market and restaurant and laundry facility. This is an brilliant opportunity to have a place to stay and a great investment at the same time.

Bla Xit donors I would like to thank you all for your kind donations we are very very grateful for your sacrifices to donate to help to support the channel.

However we do still have to pay them to keep things moving. That is why your donations are so crucial to our survival and although I really am not comfortable with asking I have no choice but to ask for donations as a contribution of the production costs.If you could spare a financial contribution we would appreciate it so very much.
