New Gambia Prez removes 'Islamic' from country's name
The Gambia's new President, Adama Barrow, has removed 'Islamic' from the official name of the country pledging more reforms in the West African nation, according to reports. The word 'Islamic' was added by former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh in 2015, making it the Islamic Republic of The Gambia. Notably, Muslims constitute 90% of the total Gambian population.
