Gambia's president said that he wants to implement a policy change that would shift the country's language from English to a local language, AP reported. Yahya Jammeh said that "we no longer subscribe to the belief that for you to be a government you should speak English language." He spoke during the swearing-in ceremony of Gambia's new Chief Justice. He made the announcement months after the West African country announced it is withdrawing from the Commonwealth, a collection of 54 nations made up largely of former British colonies. Gambia is a popular destination for British tourists.
