The Gambia gained its independence from the UK in 1965. Between
1982 and 1989 it formed a short-lived federation of Senegambia
with Senegal; the two nations signed a friendship and cooperation
treaty in 1992. A military coup in 1994 overthrew the president
and banned political activity, but a new 1996 constitution and
presidential elections, followed by parliamentary balloting in
1997, have completed a return to civilian rule.
This collection of interent sources provides access to websites
