After the foiled coup of 30 December 2014, Yahya Jammeh’s government strengthened security measures. State repression affected members of the army, journalists, civil servants and the relatives and friends of the alleged plotters who had sought refuge abroad. A number of surprising political moves took place during the year, including sweeping electoral reforms, presidential pardons for over 250 detainees, the banning of female genital mutilation and Jammeh’s declaration of the Gambia as an Islamic republic. The country’s economic performance deteriorated and the level of public debt rose dramatically.
