Abstract
The paper explains the withdrawal of The Gambia from the Commonwealth against the backdrop of developments in Southern Rhodesia during the unilateral declaration of independence (U.D.I.) era. It highlights how Britain reacted to affronts to rule of law, democracy, and human rights violation during U.D.I, while Africans were dispossessed and disenfranchised. Besides, the Southern Rhodesian 1923, 1961, and 1965 constitutions exacerbated the desolation of Africans by intensifying colonialism and racism. The O.A.U., The Government of Jamaica, and the United Nations were of assistance to Africans in Southern Rhodesia, during the siege, as the Commonwealth remained aloof in the face of racially motivated civil liberties abridgement. Against backgrounds of this nature, the present Gambian administration views Britain with caution when The Foreign Office announced an unprovoked travel ban on the country. While the Commonwealth has no direct meaningful impact on the lives of ordinary Gambians as its neo-colonial policies and British interests dovetail, the government considered it imperative to resign its membership.

Bu makale, tek taraflı bağımsızlık ilanı (U.D.I.) döneminde Güney Rodos'taki gelişmelerin zemininde Gambiya'nın Milletler Topluluğu'ndan çekilmesini açıklıyor. İngiltere'nin, ABD'de hukukun üstünlüğü, demokrasi ve insan hakları ihlallerine karşı nasıl tepki gösterdiğine dikkat çekerken, Afrikalılar mülksüzleştirildi ve haklarından mahrum edildi. Ayrıca, Güney Rodezya 1923, 1961 ve 1965 anayasaları, sömürgeciliği ve ırkçılığı yoğunlaştırarak Afrikalıların ıssızlığını şiddetlendirdi. O.A.U., Jamaika Hükümeti ve Birleşmiş Milletler, Commonwealth ırksal olarak motive edilmiş sivil özgürlüklerin kısalması karşısında uzak durduğundan, kuşatma sırasında Güney Rodos'taki Afrikalılara yardımcı oldular. Bu doğanın arka planına karşı, mevcut Gambiya yönetimi, Dışişleri Bakanlığı ülkeye karşı yasaklanmamış bir seyahat yasağı ilan ettiğinde İngiltere'yi dikkatle görüyor. Commonwealth'in sıradan Gambianların yaşamları üzerinde neo-sömürge politikaları ve İngiliz çıkarları bir araya geldiği için doğrudan anlamlı bir etkisi olmasa da, hükümet üyeliğini istifa etmenin zorunlu olduğunu düşünüyor.
