Gambia Expels UN Official for AIDS "Cure" Criticism
February 23 2007
By Reuters
Gambia has ordered the expulsion of the top U.N. official in the country after she criticised assertions by President Yahya Jammeh that he was curing AIDS patients with herbs, government sources said on Friday.
Fadzai Gwaradzimba, a Zimbabwean national who is the resident coordinator of U.N. operations in the tiny West African state, was given 48 hours to leave the country, the sources, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
Gwaradzimba's office in Gambia declined to comment.
