There is news coming from the Gambia that the president, His Excellency Yahya Jammeh is to be crowned King of the Gambia and a one-party state to be announced shortly.
Jammeh was a junior officer in the army who came to power through a military coup in July 1994. Since then, the Gambia that has been widely considered the bastion of democracy in the continent of Africa for nearly thirty years, is blacklisted by international as well as local human rights organizations for its deplorable human rights record during the past 16 years of Jammeh's military rule.
The coronation of Jammeh as King of the Gambia will be the culmination of a long nightmare of general decline and degeneration of Gambian political and economic life.
