Senegambia and the atlantic slave trade. It literally just follows the gambia river, eating a chunk out of senegal Why do countries have the in front of their names like the ukraine, the gambia, the maldives etc.

Is it just a translation issue from whatever the country is called by the native people
Or is there some historical reason why?
The gambia apparently specializes in this particular sort of begging One of the most common scams we currently see claims that a gambian has lost his parents, is caring for younger siblings, and does not have money for school fees. Senegambia is so touristy especially compared to everywhere else i went in west africa (the main strip is comparable to somewhere in the south of spain) but go further up the river and it is far more enjoyable, and much less. The gambia is africa's most fascinating nation, a tiny state that simply runs along the coast of a small river
It is enclosed by the larger nation of senegal on all sides, except that it fronts on the atlantic ocean Its chief exports are fabrics, coconuts and lumber, and the national. The surrounding african nations made an impressive show of unity in forming this coalition to resolve the constitutional crisis in gambia But it worked and the duly elected leader was installed

No one ever talks about it, but in my opinion, gambia has one of the weirdest / funniest shapes in the world
