Gambia’s president declares country an Islamic republic
14th December 2015
Oppression to follow.
It does not appear that President Yahya Jammeh’s announcement changes Gambia’s laws or the country’s constitutional status as a secular state.
Yet.
Hamat Bah of the opposition National Reconciliation Party criticized the decision. “There is a constitutional clause that says that Gambia is a secular state,” he said. “You cannot make such a declaration without going through a referendum.”
Referendum? We don’t need no stinking referendum.
Jammeh has ruled Gambia since seizing power in 1994.
Sounds like an Islamic Republic to me.
