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

We look at two new builds ideas as they are being developed a nine bedroom apartment building and a one bedroom house. We show you low budget to high budget builds in a Gambian Village. So you have the back to basics to the bear minimum build in less than two thousand pounds to a bigger build. You meet my donkey that I want to buy.
