The World Health Organization has issued an alert about the deaths in the West African nation of Gambia. For context, we speak to the authors of The Truth Pill: The Myth of Drug Regulation in India.

In the West African nation of Gambia, people are transfixed by testimony about alleged abuses by former President Yahya Jammeh.

The team from Gambia was denied visas when they first applied. "Having no hope to come, we still worked," says team captain Alieu Bah.

Jaha Dukureh is featured in the documentary "Jaha's Promise." She got Gambia to outlaw the practice. But could she convince her father?

As Gambia's new president Adama Barrow settles into his new role, he is also taking steps to resuscitate international ties cut off by his predecessor Yahya Jammeh.

Gambia's defeated leader Yahya Jammeh has departed the country, after a weeks-long standoff as he tried to maintain his grip on power which culminated in West African troops crossing Gambia's borders.

West African troops have already crossed the border into Gambia and say they are prepared to remove Yahya Jammeh, who has refused to step down, by force to make way for the new leader.

Two men now claim to be president of Gambia — the winner of last month's election, and the longtime leader. The newly minted president, Adama Barrow, took the oath of office in neighboring Senegal.

In a few hours, longtime Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh's presidential term will expire. But he is clinging to power as troops from regional powers reportedly amass at the border.
