The Chronicle has been reliably informed that a silent redeployment recently took place in the Gambia’s Foreign Service. It’s important to note that the reassignments have injected several staffs from other government departments in the affected Foreign missions.
Alieu Jammeh, Ambassador to Guinea Bissau has been redeployed to Sierra Leone under the same diplomatic capacity. Meaning Ambassador Ebraima Manneh who has headed Gambia’s mission in Freetown since 2018 has been recalled. Our source did not however indicate if ambassador Manneh will be redeployed elsewhere or if he has been sent packing for good.
