Modou Lamin Njie

This area is in many respects different from the rest of the country. Also by its location.

Because The Gambia almost separates the region from the northern part, it is geographical isolation.

However, it is in other respects very different: a different historical background, culture, language, religion and a different climate zone.

This result is a very green tropical rainy climate, a stark contrast with the dry and arid north.

The south is mainly populated by Christian Diola and Mandinke but largely animist use continue.
