Gambia President Jammeh & Wife Zeineb Souma, has ruled
for 21years.
The Gambia's government has banned its female employees from
leaving their hair uncovered at work, a leaked memo quoted by private
newspapers says.
Women should use a "head tie and neatly wrap their
hair", the memo said, without giving reasons for the ban. Last month, The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh declared the
Muslim-majority country an Islamic republic.
He added that no dress code would be imposed and citizens of
other faiths would be allowed to practise freely.
The Gambia is popular with Western tourists because of its
beaches.
Mr Jammeh withdrew the former British colony from the
Commonwealth in 2013, describing the organisation as neo-colonial.
