The United States last week announced travel restrictions on former president Yahya Jammeh, his wife and two children. It said the move was because of the former president’s involvement in ‘significant corruption.’
The US government through its embassy in Banjul told The Fatu Network it obtained credible information regarding Mr. Jammeh’s involvement in corruption and gross human rights violations.
