这则新闻应该要重视的是 中华民国自由地区在非洲的邦交国只剩下斯威士兰
布基纳法索 还有圣多美普林西比
而圣多美普林西比目前正计画跟祖国大陆接触中
当然 中华民国自由地区可以在国际上一个邦交国都没有 而仍然是一个泱泱大国
但是呢 中美断交时的21个邦交国底限快到了 怎么办？废物DPP好像也没碰到过这个底限

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.
