The Gambia's Rejoining of the Commonwealth

On December 2, 2022, The Gambia officially rejoined the Commonwealth, marking a pivotal moment in the nation's international relations. This decision comes after The Gambia's withdrawal from the Commonwealth in 2013 under the leadership of Yahya Jammeh, a period characterized by political turmoil and human rights abuses. The rejoining of the Commonwealth is seen as a reaffirmation of The Gambia's commitment to democratic values, good governance, and international cooperation. The Commonwealth, an intergovernmental organization comprising 54 member states, promotes shared values and goals, including democracy, human rights, and sustainable development. The British government welcomed The Gambia's return, highlighting the importance of collaboration and support among member states. This move is expected to enhance The Gambia's diplomatic relations and open avenues for economic and social development through Commonwealth initiatives. The rejoining is not only a significant step for The Gambia but also a hopeful signal for the region, emphasizing the importance of unity and shared values in addressing global challenges. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #TheGambia #Commonwealth #InternationalRelations #Democracy #YahyaJammeh
