Gambia temporarily reopens border with Senegala to deliver cement held up by tax increase.
Gambia reopens border with Senegal temporarily to allow delivery of cement held up for weeks, addressing domestic market requirements.

The government has clarified that this one-time gesture will not alter or lift current import measures for bagged cement, which will be strictly enforced once the backlog is resolved.
