Yankuba Mamburay, author of  Lost Brother

Gambian born Yankuba Mamburay publishes book: The Search for a Lost Brother.
This is a true story about a young man, Yankuba, who was born in a small African farming community. As he grew up he heard about a brother who had traveled far and wide. In the narrator’s community, farm size is determined by the size of the family. So the absence of this brother left a big hole in the family’s structure. The family became devastated by news that their long-lost son was in Liberia, where civil war broke out in 1989. In the year 2000 the author/narrator embarked on a dangerous journey to the war-torn country in search of his brother, without any clue where the brother lived. While searching for his brother in Liberia, he came across several military checkpoints and was apprehended by Charles Taylor’s troops who accused him of illegal blood-diamond trafficking. Read to see how this adventurous, highly emotional, electrifying, and suspenseful story unfolds.

Yankuba Mamburay was born in Kiang Jasobo and about age two, the family drifted to Faraba Banta in The Gambia’s Western Region where he attended the village Primary School. In 1983 young Mamburay transferred to Methodist Primary School at Jangjangbureh, in the MacCarthy Island Division where he wrote the defunct Common Entrance Examinations and passed to the Saint Augustine's High School. Upon graduation from that school’s Sixth Form in 1991 Mamburay climaxed to Malaysia’s International Islamic University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.

He returned home and taught at his Alma Mater-Saint Augustine's High School, in the 1996/97 academic years. He is among the pioneers of the Arab Gambian Islamic Bank Ltd., where he worked between 1997 and 2000.
