The map shows in purple the selected country (Gambia), and represents in a green scale its closest relations, and in a red scale its strained relations.
The Gambia is a small West African country located on the Atlantic coast and surrounded by Senegal. It is the smallest country on the continent in terms of both land area and population. The Gambia has a tropical climate and is known for its beaches, wildlife reserves, and cultural attractions.
The Gambia gained independence from Britain in 1965 and has a presidential system of government. It is a member of the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The country has a relatively small economy that is heavily dependent on agriculture, particularly peanuts, and tourism.
The Gambia has a diverse population, with several ethnic groups present, including the Mandinka, Wolof, Fula, and Jola. The official language is English, but many people also speak local languages. Islam is the dominant religion in the country, but there is also a significant Christian minority.
In recent years, the Gambia has faced a number of challenges, including political instability, economic challenges, and human rights issues. In 2016, the country experienced a political crisis when President Yahya Jammeh, who had been in power for more than two decades, refused to accept the results of the presidential election and refused to step down. After mediation efforts by regional leaders, Jammeh eventually agreed to leave office, and Adama Barrow was inaugurated as the new President. Since then, the country has been working to improve its political stability and economic development.
