| The Gambia became independent from the UK in 1965. It formed a short-lived federation of Senegambia with Senegal between 1982 and 1989. In 1991 the two nations signed a friendship and cooperation treaty. A military coup in 1994 overthrew the president and banned political activity, but a 1996 constitution and presidential elections, completed a nominal return to civilian rule. The Gambia is a small, peaceful and politically stable West African country with a geuine sense of
hospitality. Even the… crocodiles confirm that!
