Gambia rejoins commonwealth 5 years
You're referring to the recent development!
Yes, you're correct. The Gambia rejoined the Commonwealth of Nations on February 18, 2018, after a five-year absence. The country had withdrawn from the organization in October 2013, citing concerns over human rights and democracy.
The Gambia's decision to rejoin the Commonwealth was announced by President Adama Barrow in January 2018, following his election in December 2016. The country's re-entry into the Commonwealth was seen as a significant step towards strengthening its ties with the international community and promoting democracy, human rights, and economic development.
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 53 countries, most of which are former British colonies or territories. The organization aims to promote democracy, human rights, and economic development among its member states.
