BBC World's Newsroom: Gambia (Part 1)

Written By Anne-Marie Tomchak on Thursday, Oct 03, 2013 | 01:05 PM

State television branded it a "neo-colonial institution" - a reference to the organisation's roots in the British Empire. World's Newsroom presenter Anne-Marie Tomchak speaks to Esau Williams (BBC World Service) and Zenaida Machado (BBC Africa) about the development.
