Part 2/7:

The story of Ghana Town is rooted in the history of migration. The Ghanaian migrants who settled in this coastal area over sixty years ago did so seeking better opportunities. However, a significant obstacle faced by their descendants is the stringent citizenship laws within The Gambia. To qualify for Gambian citizenship, one must be born in the country to at least one Gambian parent. This regulation effectively disenfranchises those born in Ghana Town, leaving them classified as foreigners, despite having lived their entire lives within Gambian borders.
