Unilateral decisions are, for the most part, counterproductive.
A case in point is the dispute between Libya and some Western countries. The Gambia is situated on the Atlantic Coast at the bulge of Africa. The country consists of a thin ribbon of land lying on both sides of the river at no point wider than 30 miles. The government of the Republic of The Gambia remains committed to the successful implementation of its Program of Rectification and the Timetable for Transition to Democratic Civilian Rule. It is disheartening to note, however, that our traditional partners in development, rather than joining hands with us in our efforts to build a new society, are looking for the signs of derailment of the transition process .
