The Gambia’s minister of Forestry and the Environment, Hon. Jato Sillah has promised the people of Bakadaji in Nianija District of the Central River Region that the government under the leadership of His Excellency, Sheikh Prof. Dr. Alh. Yahya AJJ Jammeh has heard their cry on the incessant attack of hippopotamus on rice farms in the area and other places, and that a solution would soon be proffered.

The minister said this during his nationwide tour of forest resources at the Bakadaji Forestry Station in Nianija while responding to a complaint raised by one Sarjo Sillah of Bakadaji who said that the local people are encountering huge losses in their women’s rice fields due to hippopotamus attacks. Sarjo Sillah further appealed to the minister and the government to help them address the issue.

Responding to the complaint, Hon. Jato Sillah said the government is aware of the problem of hippopotamus invading rice fields within the country. According to him, the president is genuinely concerned about this and the cabinet has discussed the issue. He then said that the issue will soon be addressed.

Factoid:

More people are killed in Africa every year by hippos than by crocodiles.

Another factoid:

Oregon is two thirds desert.
