Aja Tako Taal

politician Gambia

Aja Tako Taal was a revered community leader and the Alkalo of Juffureh, a position she held since 1994. Appointed under the direction of former Governor Captain Amadou Suwareh, she became a symbol of strength and unity in her community. Known for her wisdom and maternal guidance, Taal was the only female village leader in The Gambia, representing the Taal Kunda family, which has historic ties to Juffureh's Mandinka heritage and the transatlantic slave trade. Her passing at over 100 years old marks a significant loss for both Juffureh and the nation.
