Throughout the year, the political and security situation in the Gambia remained relatively peaceful, despite a growing political rift within the coalition government of president Adama Barrow, and a few isolated fatal skirmishes between civilians and security forces. With the coming of Barrow’s administration, the country witnessed many new bilateral relationships and the re-establishment of old ties. After 22 years of financial mismanagement and international isolation under the leadership of the now exiled former president Yahya Jammeh, the economic challenges of the country remained a key concern. Although the country realised some economic improvement, it remained saddled with a huge wage bill and debt burden.
