Banjul, Gambia - The government of Gambia has given Libyan diplomats and citizens resident in the country to leave within 72 hours, as it also froze all Libyan investments in the country, the state-owned radio and television services announced here Saturday. According to a news release from State House, the directive is binding until a lasting solution is found to the political unrest in Libya. The Gambian government said its decision followed the political unrest in the north African country, where its leader, Mouammar Kadhafi has refused to step down. Libyan investments frozen by the Gambian government included six hotels, one park (playing ground), agriculture garden, one bank and one road construction company. The first batch of Libyans left the country Saturday for Dakar, Senegal, while others, including senior officials at the Libyan Embassy in Banjul, are expected to leave Sunday
