Jammeh s village of kanilai falls to ecomog with little resistance
Kanilai is a village in southern Gambia, near the border with Senegal. President of the Gambia Yahya Jammeh was born in this village and expanded it after coming to power. It is now home to a presidential palace, a wrestling arena, a luxury hotel and a game park and zoo. The zoo, which Jammeh said would allow Gambians to "experience African wildlife", was unsuccessful at first, with animals dying due to hunting, predation and insufficient food.

On 19 January 2017, Senegalese troops took control of the village from pro-Jammeh Gambian Army and Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance (MFDC) troops at the beginning of the Invasion of the Gambia.
