  • Gambia, a Complicated but Hopeful Road to Democracy Visit Web Receive Newsletter
    Opinion Paper 07/2018 18 January 2018 Pilar Requena del Río* Gambia, a complicated but hopeful road to democracy Visit Web Receive Newsletter Gambia, a complicated but hopeful road to democracy Abstract: A year ago, a peaceful change from dictatorship to democracy took place in a small African state, The Gambia. It was probably one of the most forgotten countries although it was suffering since 22 years under the fierce and terrible dictatorship of Yahya Jammeh. Since January 19th 2017 Adama Barrow, elected December 1st 2016, is the president. The dictator initially accepted defeat but then refused to relinquish power until the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, threatened to intervene militarily. Since then, the country faces a new stage of development, freedom, equality, justice and reconciliation amidst major challenges and a still fragile security situation. Keywords: The Gambia, dictatorship, democracy, ECOWAS, security, justice, reconciliation, Yahya Jammeh, Adama Barrow *NOTE: The ideas contained in the Opinion Papers shall be responsibility of their authors, without necessarily reflecting the thinking of the IEEE or the Ministry of Defense . Opinion Paper 07/2018 1 Gambia, a complicated but hopeful road to democracy Pilar Requena del Río Introduction The Gambia is the smallest country in mainland Africa and one of the poorest in the world. With only 2 million inhabitants, mostly Muslims, it is a narrow strip along the river of the same name, surrounded mostly by Senegal. A legend says that an English warship sailed upstream launching cannon shots to port and starboard. The borders were traced where the projectiles fell. The English put a wedge in the middle of a Senegal controlled by the French.

As we live in a globalised world, where countries cooperate with each other for the benefit of its people and for the development of its economies.

Therefore, writing this research project comes with better knowledge and benefits as it will enlighten readers about the presence of China and other western countries in the Gambia. Furthermore, I would like to give special thanks to all the people that supported me and gave me advises throughout the work and most importantly, my supervisor who helped me through the process and it could not have come to this realisation without his guidance.

  • URGENT ACTION ALL GAMBIAN DEATH ROW INMATES to BE EXECUTED Gambian President Yahya Jammeh Has Announced That All Death Row Inmates Will Be Executed by Mid-September
    UA: 247/12 Index: AFR 27/005/2012 The Gambia Date: 23 August 2012 URGENT ACTION ALL GAMBIAN DEATH ROW INMATES TO BE EXECUTED Gambian president Yahya Jammeh has announced that all death row inmates will be executed by mid-September. Amnesty International urges the President to immediately retract this call and impose an official moratorium on executions. On both 19 and 20 August, in a television address broadcast to mark the Muslim feast of Eid-al-Fitrt, President Jammeh announced to the nation that, by the middle of September all death sentences will be “carried out to the letter”, to “ensure that criminals get what they deserve.” If executions are carried out, it will mark the end of a 27-year period without executions. According to The Gambian government, there were 42 men and two women on death row as of 31 December 2011, 13 of whom had been sentenced during that year. This year, three men have reportedly also received the death sentence, making a total of 47 people currently on death row. This announcement by the President has caused a great deal of fear and distress to death row inmates and their families. Death sentences, carried out by hanging, are imposed for murder and treason. In The Gambia, death sentences are known to be used as a tool against the political opposition. Furthermore, international standards on fair trials, including presumption of innocence, access to lawyers and exclusion of any evidence obtained as a result of torture, are often not respected. President Jammeh’s announcement follows the launch in May 2012 of what the President called “Operation Bulldozer” to “rid the country of all criminals”.
