Recent news impact

No clear, high-signal development within the last 45 days was identified that would materially and directly change Gambia’s short-term relocation outlook (e.g., enacted border/asylum/immigration changes, sudden new expulsions, major security breakdowns, or immediate legal access shifts). Earlier items provided relate to general migration governance and enforcement posture, but they are not recent enough or not clearly tied to an immediate worsening/improving relocation environment.
