The Gambia’s unexpected withdrawal from the Commonwealth on 2 October and its breaking of diplomatic ties with Taiwan on 12 November after 18 years of collaboration indicated the country’s growing isolation on the international scene. However, it still benefited from the support of international donors such as the EU and the World Bank, and hope was expressed about the potential for new cooperation with the People’s Republic of China. President Yaya Jammeh, re-elected in 2011 for a fourth term, came under close international scrutiny for serious human rights violations. Revelations by exiled members of the army, who had been personally involved in regime atrocities, shocked public opinion, both in the Gambia and in the diaspora.
