Why I need your support
To keep writing truth-based stories — from Europe to Africa — without pressure from sponsors or headlines.
When I started writing on Substack, I had one clear goal: to tell stories that are true.
Not quick, sensational headlines, but carefully researched pieces about what is actually happening, even if it means digging deeper, checking more sources, and sometimes going against the flow.
My topics may seem diverse, but they all have one thing in common: they are about what truly matters.
In the Netherlands, I write about topics such as the civil case surrounding Bill Gates, Albert Bourla and dutch politicians, not with sensational claims or conspiracy spins, but with a focus on what the facts actually say.
In Africa, especially in The Gambia, I write about migration. Not just the numbers, but the human stories behind them. And I share the solutions that can give people a future in their own country.
My focus is often on agriculture, because I believe it holds the greatest potential: creating jobs, ensuring food security, and building pride in local resources.
This work takes time, energy, and often my own resources. I believe independent journalism should be accessible to everyone, which is why I keep much of my work free.
But… to continue and expand this work, reader support is essential.
If you value my articles and want me to keep going, please consider upgrading from a free to a paid subscription.
For just a few euros/dollars a month, you help me:
Stay truly independent, without the pressure of sponsors or advertisers.
Spend more time on thorough research.
Bring attention to stories from Africa and to agricultural solutions that matter.
Whether you’ve been reading my work from the start, or you’ve only just joined: your involvement means the world to me.
Every form of support – by reading, responding, sharing, or contributing financially – helps me keep these stories alive.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for reading.
And thank you for believing that real stories are still worth telling.
Warm regards,
