Despite being the Smiling Coast of Africa, The Gambia has failed to make it to the list of the world’s happiest countries in 2017.
Norway, one of the most peaceful and prosperous countries in Europe, tops the global happiness rankings for this year.
Senegal, The Gambia’s closest neighbour came in 115th place, followed closely by Zambia, Gabon, Ethiopia, Congo and Mauritania.
Liberia, a country that was ravaged by the Ebola outbreak, managed to appear on the list coming in 148th place.
Why is the Smiling Coast of Africa not on the list?
What’s On-Gambiawas unable to reach the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which compiled the list.
