The Gambia's human rights record has deteriorated since the military takeover of 1994. The most recent being on the 10th and 11th April 2000, when security forces had used live bullets on innocent students, to break up protesting students... resulting in the killing of at least 14 people including a journalist who was working as a Red Cross Volunteer and more than 100 injured.

If Adam Smith is applicable in Gambia, then in simple words: The dalasi is high in demand. People with foreign curencies require more dalasi than people who want other currencies. Demand outstrips supply. The resultant profit from the reselling of foreign money support the Dalasi's stability.

There are a number of very commonly used scams in the Gambia. If someone stops you on the street, they may tell you that they remember you from the hotel you're staying at and that they work there. They may invite you to another hotel, but this could be a scam to attempt to rob you. Also, because people are constantly looking for ways to support themselves, if they offer you assistance or directions, it may be understood that they expect some monetary compensation.
