The Republicof the Gambia is one of the least developed and poorest countries in Africa, with an economy that is heavily dependent on agriculture and the processing of agricultural products.
The tiny West African republicof The Gambia has not suffered any significant Y2K problems so far, despite predictions that it was in line for serious disruption.
Aged 46 and with no apparent likelihood of Gambians being tempted to lose their marbles at polling booths, the chances are His Excellency Sheikh, Professor, Alhaji, Doctor Yahya AJJ Jammeh will be around for a long time as President and Commander in Chief of the Republicof The Gambia.
