Hello G-L'ers,

I am a Danish student, who worked in your wonderful country a few years ago. I am presently writing a chapter about the political-history of The Gambia for my thesis on "Civil society and state relations in The Gambia". Unfortunately, I am having difficulty asserting the chronology of certain events that took place in the 70's and 80's with regard to the Marxists movements of the time. The litterature I have at my disposal is giving me conflicting information. Hence, I would be extremely grateful, if someone could help me out by clarifying the following points:


1) When did the first radical youth groups emerge? I am referring to the movements inspired by the Black Power movement, etc.

2) MOJA-G and the Gambia Socialist Revolutionary Party were established in what year?

3) Were they banned at the same time, by the same Act? One source indicates MOJA was banned in 1977, another in 1980. Is either of them correct? And, what exactly led to the banning of MOJA and GSRP? 


Hopefully, someone can assist me? 

Thank you.


Susanne Thorsbøll
