When I watch this flamboyant guy in Gambia, I have mixed feelings.
Africa is all over in need. Demand is Need driven. Knowing about Blood Diamonds, Apartheid Secret Service and Military on the run and ISIS being active or Burkina Faso having had to found its own Investment Bank beside all the sweet talk from the Northern Hemisphere, it means that Africa is like the remote areas of Latin America a region in which investors are in need of protection.
Armed, defensible, special forces grade protection; But the Wild Wild West was always known of a place of great opportunities and freedom.
That is no sweet talking place. That is not Yusufa.
I wonder if he runs into a loss, death or if the odds have changed for the better and all.

PS: Sometimes in Gambia the lights go off? You need to decentralize the energy grid which in this respect means to add a second layer of local electricity stations for e.g. hotels. That is a fuel, ideally locally produced ethanol driven, generator that runs on a low level and boosts up when the outside grid fails. If it needs to start up, you still have interruptions. The Saudis and Emirates have research projects on Algae cultivation for exactly those purposes that strive on waste water. No Siemens and not even LaDefance, but you'll need ammo than. Petrol goes ballistic nylon, but you sweat like a ... .
