#5 Born on 31 January 1961 in Banjul (then Bathurst), The Gambia, Bensouda is the daughter of Omar Gaye Nyang, who was a government driver and the country's most prominent wrestling promoter.

She attended primary and secondary school in the Gambia before leaving in 1982 for Nigeria, where she graduated from the University of Ife with a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree in 1986. The following year, she obtained her Barrister-at-Law (BL) professional qualification from the Nigeria Law School.

Human rights in the Gambia According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 78.3% of Gambian girls and women have suffered female genital mutilation.[57] LGBT activity is illegal, and punishable with life imprisonment.

Politics and government The Gambia gained independence from the United Kingdom on 18 February 1965. From 1965 to 1994, the country was ostensibly a multi-party liberal democracy. It was ruled by Dawda Jawara and his People's Progressive Party (PPP). However, the country never experienced political turnover during this period and its commitment to succession by the ballot box was never tested.[44] In 1994, a military coup propelled a commission of military officers to power, known as the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC). After two years of direct rule, a new constitution was written and in 1996, the leader of the AFPRC, Yahya Jammeh, was elected as President. He ruled in an authoritarian style until the 2016 election, which was won by Adama Barrow, backed by a coalition of opposition parties.

#6 The solution to this is simple. Arrest the investigators for conspiring and providing aid and comfort to terrorists, try them and upon conviction execute them. It's time someone tells the ICC to FOAD.

#8 Complainers maintain that the Gambia
Is almost as bad as Escambia.

Ain't got no ebola
And doesn't make bushmeat from Bambi... uh...
Harambe. Uh.
