Gambia's government says it is willing to resettle Muslim Rohingya migrants stranded at sea after fleeing predominantly Buddhist Myanmar.
"As human beings, more so fellow Muslims, it is sacred duty to help alleviate the untold hardships and sufferings these fellow human beings are confronted with," the presidency said in a statement late Tuesday.
Gambia called on "all countries with a conscience to assist in bringing the Rohingya to The Gambia for resettlement."
Yahya Jammeh, the president of tiny Gambia in Africa, has been accused of violently cracking down on his political opponents. He also has threatened to decapitate gays and lesbians who live there.
