The Gambia, officially: the Republic of The Gambia is the smallest country on the African mainland and is bordered on three sides by Sénégal. On 18 February 1965 The Gambia became independent from the British Empire and it became a republic in 1970. Banjul is its capital and Serrekunda the largest city. A wide variety of ethnic groups live in The Gambia with a minimum of intertribal friction, each preserving its own language and traditions. The Mandinka tribe is the largest, followed by the Fula, Wolof, Jola, and Serahule. The approximately 3,500 non-African residents include Europeans and families of Lebanese origin (roughly 0.23% of the total population). Muslims constitute more than 90% of the population. Christians of different denominations account for most of the remainder. Gambians officially observe the holidays of both religions and practice religious tolerance. Gambia's cuisine is an admixture of Native, Arabic, Portugese and British influences. Fufu is the country's staple and it is a major local producer of cassava flour. Much of Gambian cuisine also reflects similarities with Senegalese cookery as the populations of the two countries are very similar. |
