Gambia turns into Islamic democratic country

Gambia: President of Gambia, Yahyah Jammeh declared his country as Islamic Democratic Gambia. Speaking on the state television, he said that Gambia is identified with its religious values. He also said that there won’t be any restrictions on any specific dresses. The followers of other religions are free to profess their faiths. In Gambia, there are 90% Muslims. Earlier, it was a British Colony. This country mostly depends on Foreign aid and tourism. Last year, European Union had discontinued their aid temporarily due to violation of Human Rights.
