Zeinab Suma Jammeh of the Gambia

With a touch of simplicity and graciousness, Zeinab Suma Jammeh is known in political circles as a very firm feminist who believes in the rights of women and girls. The marriage between Zeinab and Yahya Jammeh has been on the turf since President Jammeh annouced his marriage to an 18-year-old wife by the name of Alima Sallah. This beautiful queen profusely objected to the marriage and was later seen threatening a divorce.
