What you realize as you read the story of Malick’s success, and the inevitable failures along the way, is that he share some fundamental qualities; a passion to succeed, an ability to forge ahead despite overwhelming odds, the charisma to attract the best teams and to challenge them, and an uncanny instinct to redirect the trajectory and jump on opportunity when they most need to.

Afrinity Production draw attention to incredible Malick M Jarju also known as Dabakh Malick, a native of Batang Killing, Nuimi. He worked
with reputable institutions, including Deloitte, PHB bank, Reliance Financial Services, Matforce,and Unique Solutions Ltd.

I will say am kind of a bit of junky when it comes to listening to others describe their entrepreneurial journey to where they are, but I’m not a fan of well edited interviews to be precise. I like seeing the real person behind the myth; that imperfect human being who somehow navigated through their insecurities and challenges and isn’t afraid to talk about them. And that’s Malick for you!

For the past six years, he has been at the forefront of the fastest developing entrepreneurship company, shaping and moving the use of green energy as a solution
to the current energy issues in five countries namely Gambia, Mali, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, and Niger at Africa Energy Solutions. As a calculated risk-taker, with a BA degree in Financial Administration, a deep financial
knowledge, and management experience garnered over twenty years, he decided to dive into entrepreneurship and start a company built on a foundation of his core values of integrity, innovation, growth, and more importantly patriotism.

He believe interweaving these values into his daily decision-making has proven fruitful as Africa Energy Solutions has not only helped him play his part in youth employment, and positive climate change but has also help him winning several national and international awards as it continues to grow within the sub-region.

His Awards includes:

GCCI 2016 Award Finalist for ‘Emerging Business of The Year Award, Cummins 2017 Top Progressing Power Generation Channel Partner Of The Year, Top 10 Finalist of the Harvard Business School–Africa Business Club 20th Business Conference held at Harvard Campus in Boston, Massachusetts,
Airwell 2019 Best Performance Partner and People’s Choice Social Media Personality Award .

Young Mr. Malick is still striving for the best and believing that “hard work pays” always.

Amazing poets have a way with words such that they can easily connect to their listeners regarding various issues. Over the past years, many poets in the Gambia have come up great pieces and used their talents to convey messages of hope, love and other significant enigmas in our society.

Champion Cham is one of the names that come to mind when people talk of the best poets that are gracing the Gambian poetry scene. A young man with many hats to his name.

Afrinity Production draw attention to Omar Cham who is of course known to be Champion. He is a law student at the University of the Gambia, a national youth parliamentarian, founder of champioetry and a youth empowerment officer at the Truth Reconciliation and Reparation Commission.

He is an activist in the form of impact creator, public speaker, debater and of course a poet.

Omar do stage performances as well as producing videos on his poems with audios and also poetry book.

The reason omar champion choose poetry is the fact that poetry has been the most effective tool for him to communicate and pass important messages to inspire a generation and to motivate people. Creating impact with problem focus without causing any form of conflict.

Having started writing short stories from an early age, Champion’s invention and appreciation of literary works in the making my voice heard, is indeed known to many.

What inspired Omar is the moment he lost his father and being a young boy, all family responsibilities kind of centred on him. Being the first son of his family and at a time when he was about to start his University education. He had to get his tuition fees paid alongside helping his family. That moment motivates and inspires him and also made him to become more hardworking and focused.

Champion’s professional goal always has to do with poetry in the form of creating a vibrant poetry institution that will serve as a breeding grown for young poets, also giving them the required skills to their passion.

His second goal is to create a poetry agency that will help young poets to have opportunities that will boost them forward. “I will also love to organize the biggest if events at the grassroot level, especially in the rural areas. And for my individual level, I will love to produce as much poetry videos and audios as possible to inspire a lot of people,” he said.

Champion cannot do without his personal comfort and mental health. He believe being mentally steady is very important in life and that is why he cannot do without his mental health.

Though his journey to where he is has not been an easy take at all. Back in his final days in high school, he use to write poems and hide them. It was in one of his classes where he was told to read a piece and he decided to use one of his poems and people fall in love with it.

It was in the compilation of poems back in the days, where he compiled 200 peoms alongside other poets hat motivated him to do more and even better.

Winning the national poetry slams championship also served as a great pushed to where he is today. Getting more opportunities to perform in both national and international events, conferences and more.

Afrinity Production draw attention to the eagerly waiting of US election by Somalians. Just like people across the United States will be waiting eagerly for the results of Tuesday’s voting.

Though thousands of kilometres away, on the far eastern corner of Africa, Somalis will also be closely watching the hard-fought matchup between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

It hardly comes as a surprise. A country of some 15 million people, Somalia has for decades felt the impact of US policies – both directly and indirectly

“Ever since Somalia got independence in 1960, America and its leaders have tried to have a strong foothold in the country,” said Hassan Sheikh Ali, a lecturer of international relations at Somali National University.

The main reason? Somalia’s “strategic location”.

Bounded by the Indian Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Horn of Africa country occupies a significant geopolitical position along major trade routes. Up to 30,000 ships, carrying goods from crude oil to iron ore, pass annually through the Gulf of Aden, a key transit zone for maritime traffic between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

“America is in Somalia to protect its commercial interest,” said Hassan.

Afrinity Production make known to you the arrest of Tanzanian’s main opposition party leader, according to Tundu Lissu, the party’s candidate in last week’s disputed presidential election.

According to Aljazeera, the opposition has demanded a repeat vote citing widespread irregularities and called for protests against the outcome, which returned President John Magufuli to office with 84 percent of the vote.

Those arrested with Freeman Mbowe include a former member of parliament Godbless Lema, the former mayor of Dar es Salaam, Isaya Mwita, and the former mayor of Ubungo municipality, Boniface Jacob.

“I got a message around midnight that they had been taken in,” Lissu said on Monday.

Mwananchi, a privately owned daily that publishes in Swahili, quoted Dar es Salaam’s regional police commander Lazaro Mambosasa as saying they detained Mbowe and other opposition leaders.

Lissu previously said he will not accept the eventual election results.

The vote “marked the most significant backsliding in Tanzania’s democratic credentials”, Tanzania Elections Watch, a group of regional experts said in an assessment released on Friday. It noted a heavy deployment of military and police whose conduct created a “climate of fear”.

The United States has said it was concerned about reports showing “systematic interference in the democratic process”, while the United Kingdom said it was “troubled by the reports of violence and heavy-handed policing in the elections”.
