| i think Jambur is an older settlement and older than Brikama and Busumbala. it's a very old place but less known/popular |

| Is it that you are thinking of Sanyang not jambur? because i heard that the people of busumballa discovered sanyang by then they were living under the rocks. |

Jambur not Sanyang. Jambur is opposite Farato about +5Km inside.Busumballa is just next door. Sanyang on the otherhand is along the coast +20Km away and not very old. anyway when you talk of History of Kombo the name Bojang keeps appearing. i was told Jambur is where many originated to form/establish the larger settlements in the rest of the Kombos, thats why i mentioned it in response to your first question. who started Sangyang i dont really know.
perhaps this might interest you, the new sign board on the Coastal raod says 'Sanyang' but the old board on the remains of the old road says 'sang yang'?? strange isn't it. |

As far as I know Jambur used to be the seat of the kingdom of the entire Kombo.Mansa Tumani Bojang (for example)has his Capital there and his fore fatthers who ruled kombo, lived there.
The Bojangs of Sanyang,Brufut,Brikama,Bakau,Sukuta Yundum and the rest of kombo were all roots steming from the vast Jambur Bojang Dynasty who due to the patrileanial syatem of kingship(First son of the King succeeds him),had to spread to acquire arrears to lead and be answerable to their leader who lives at Jambur.
Njuks is right about Jambur.

janyanfara, i understand that you are about to go to the gambia. Can you do a little research on this topic that Jambur used to be the seat of kombo. It will be easy if you go to brufut, sanyang,sukuta and brikama. Definitely you will have more informations.Please dont forget to tell me when you come back.
Thanks

I have a home in Jambur and and I am constructing my house presently at sukuta,Yundum and Brikama.I like kombo for maybe it will be the place for my two sons and daughter(Each with their own land from me).
I promise to do my best.
He listen to my eldest son....("Hallo I LOVE DADDY and my mother and my brother and sister and grand dad."
Ha ha ha= He is as strong headed as myself..(according to my Dad).
He keep asking me what I do on the computer?when I say I talk to some gambians he keeps asking my permision to try and put his name there so that his friends in the Gambia will see it....Funny isn't it.
Thanks we leave next week for Banjul Int.A.port.
