The Tunkara’s in Gambia are all Soninke people today they live throughout West Africa and many of them immigrated to Europe from the hardship in Africa to find what they consider has better life,and many of them has their own business such as corner shops and stores in the Gambia city Banjul. They have less interest in politics they only follow their traditional cultures.the other tribes mention above many of them also immigrate Europe and some part of Africa such as Serre leon, Angola etc
The Soninke also called saraculeh or serahuli are a mande people who descend from the Bafour and closely related to the Imraguen of Mauritania.They speak language,they speak Soninke language,a mande language.They were the founders of the ancient empire of Ghana 750-1240 CE.
Subgroups of Soninke include the Maraka and Wangara. After contact with Muslim Almoravid traders from the north around 1066, Soninke nobles of neighboring Takrur were among the first ethnic groups from Africa to embrace Islam. When the Ghana empire dispersed, the resulting diaspora brought Soninkes to Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau. This diaspora included Wangara, famous traders who spread far from traditionally Mande areas. Hence the term Wangara is used today in Ghana and Burkina Faso to describe the Soninke populations in cities and towns.

The Soninke are still now the back bone of countries like The Gambia, Senegal and Mali. Through all history they have been traders in gold, salt and even diamonds.

Foods

The Suduwol have a variety of foods. As an example, breakfast foods include “Honde”, porridge made of millet, sugar, milk, and salt, and “Sombi” porridge made of rice, millet or corn. For lunch “Demmu Teray” and “Takhahay” are very common, both containing rice and peanuts, frequent Soninke ingredients. "Deray”, a stew, is a mixture of millet and beans.

Economy
The Suduwol traditionally engage in both trade and agriculture. During the rainy season, men and women both cultivate. However women usually stay at home to cook and take care of their children. They also do others work, such as as dyeing cotton material. A typical Soninke colour is Indigo. The Suduwol attained a high standard of living. Emigration took a huge place in their life. Most of the time women, children and old stay at home alone when the young men go to neighbouring cities to find money. Since the 1960s, the majority of West African immigrants in France came from this ethnic group.
