The Yahya Jemmeh government has been in power since 1994 and many people feel it has become self-serving and no longer represents the interests of the people. There is now a concerted effort by the Gambian diaspora to partner with people inside Gambia who do not want a fifth term of Jemmeh. Poverty is a big impediment to democracy movements. Radio is powerful in Gambia. Some signals originate in France.
