The Ahmadiyya Muslim community in the Gambia is coming under increased persecution by the country’s predominant Sunni Muslim sect.
The small community of several thousands consider themselves Muslims, but that is a view rejected by mainstream Islamic sects.
The Gambia’s main Muslim body, Supreme Islamic Council, responsible for the general activities of all Islamic affairs in the country has classed Ahmadis as non-Muslims, who only used the Muslim declaration of faith (Kalimah) to confuse other Muslim sects
The council has issued a fatwa in 2015 forbidding the burial of Ahmadis in Muslim cemeteries.
