As a result of the illegal activities and illicit financial dealings of the former President and his associates, the Gambia has lost more than $350 million in funds that could have permanently transformed the country’s development trajectory. Other estimates were higher. As a poor developing country, we appeal to the international community to come to our aid in tracking and returning some of that wealth. We ask for the international community’s solidarity and cooperation in the recovery of our looted wealth.
