Jinack Cannabis farmers in limbo as DLEAG halt cultivation in the island

Many families in Jinak have said that they have been left with no means of survival after officers from the Drug Law Enforcement Agency The Gambia destroyed and burned around 60 cannabis farms on the island.

The operation followed an earlier crackdown in the villages targeting migrants who were reportedly preparing to travel through the “backway”.

Residents said officers first entered the area to stop the attempted migration before later returning to the villages where the cannabis farms were located.

During the second operation, the farms were destroyed and set on fire, leaving many families who depended on the crops without income.

Several affected farmers said they were forced into cultivating cannabis because other crops cannot survive on the island.

Ousman Manneh said harsh environmental conditions make traditional farming almost impossible
