Banjul

Banjul is the capital city of The Gambia. Recent news focuses on two key issues related to the country. First, victims of human rights abuses committed during the regime of former leader Yahya Jammeh are seeking accountability and justice beyond financial reparations. They believe Jammeh should be held responsible for his crimes. Second, the news highlights the plight of descendants of Ghanaian fishermen living in Ghana Town, a village along The Gambia's Atlantic coast. Many of these individuals lack official identity documents, rendering them stateless and creating significant challenges for their future. These two issues are relevant as they underscore ongoing challenges related to justice, human rights, and citizenship within The Gambia.
