US Embassy partially closes in Banjul
From: US Embassy Facebook, Banjul
The Point: Friday, June 10, 2016
 The Embassy of the United States of America in Banjul has closed to non-essential services since Thursday 9 June 2016, because “The Gambia Government has unexpectedly withdrawn police protection”.
“The embassy will continue to closely monitor the situation, and will keep you informed as events unfold,” said a statement by the US Embassy in Banjul.

| The apparent reason for the closure was the withdrawal of security for the Embassy. This security whatever it was ,had presumably been provided by the Gambian government. |
