這則新聞應該要重視的是 中華民國自由地區在非洲的邦交國只剩下史瓦濟蘭
布吉納法索 還有聖多美普林西比
而聖多美普林西比目前正計畫跟祖國大陸接觸中
當然 中華民國自由地區可以在國際上一個邦交國都沒有 而仍然是一個泱泱大國
但是呢 中美斷交時的21個邦交國底限快到了 怎麼辦？廢物DPP好像也沒碰到過這個底限

Gambia has announced that it has cut diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
President Yahya Jammeh's office said the move was for reasons of "national
strategic interest".
The West African state was one of a few African countries to recognise
Taiwan, which China regards as part of its territory.
Correspondents say it is unclear if the move is linked to the development of
relations with China, which has a growing influence in Africa.
Despite the announcement, President Jammeh said Gambia hoped to "remain
friends" with the Taiwanese people.
"This decision has been taken in our strategic national interest," a
statement from his office read, without elaborating.
"We are proud that we have been a very strong and reliable partner of the
Republic of China [Taiwan] for the past 18 years, the results of which are
there for every Taiwanese to see.
"Despite the end of diplomatic ties with Taiwan, we will still remain friends
with the people of Taiwan."
China has been investing heavily in Africa at it relies on it for oil and
other natural resources.
Taiwan was separated from mainland China in 1949 at the end of the civil war
between communists and nationalists.
Beijing still refuses to recognise its independence.
Initially, most African states recognised the Taipei government but their
number has steadily declined.
Gambia's decision means that Swaziland, Sao Tome and Principe and Burkina
Faso are the only African countries that remain allies with Taiwan.
However, earlier this week officials in Sao Tome and Principe said China
plans to open a trade mission to promote projects there.
It comes 16 years after Beijing broke off relations with the tiny Central
African nation over its diplomatic recognition of Taiwan.
