By Foday Samateh The most important news from The Gambia since the Council Elections happened last week was not the Attorney General’s bombshell news briefing on the freezing of 88 bank accounts, 131 landed properties, and 14 companies belonging to or directly associated with the exiled despot Yahya Jammeh. Nor […]

By Abdoulie John Gambians have pushed the reconciliation agenda despite massive calls for justice. The ascension to power of President Adama Barrow provides an opportunity to unveil numerous crimes committed by former longtime ruler. Yahya Jammeh is gone but the horrors his regime’s inflicted horror continues to grip many Gambian […]

I have read an article by the so-called insider of the National Disaster Management Agency, implicating the Executive Director Colonel Alhajie Sanneh. I am convinced that the author of the said article has got an an axe to grind with an innocent person. The author’s characterisation of Alhajie Sanneh is […]

By Kemo Kinteh  As rightly outlined​ in this piece, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission  (TRC) cannot be the substitute for conventional justice for atrocities committed by the former president and heads of state apparatus. We know who they are; they do not represent any ethnic, religious or racial group. Hence […]

By Njundu Drammeh The wheels of justice sometimes grind slowly but grinding they do. And ours is turning into full motion. Following the rule of law means all the boxes must pass muster and yes, the Government is ticking the box, meticulously and according to law and proper laid down […]

I concede further that when the […]

I want to respond to a statement made by the leader of the opposition Gambia Democratic Congress (GDC) published on Freedom Newspaper claiming that “President Barrow’s government is worst than the former Dictator Yaya Jammeh’s regime of terror”. Mama Kandeh’s statement is not only a dishonest remark but it also […]

The content of Mr Bubacarr Sambou’s article demonstrated that he is an honest Gambian. The has spoken well. It’s good to have sensible people  like him in Foni. This is the region that scares many Gambians. Despite its tiny nature, Foni has proved some violent Gambians. Besides producing the late Kukoi […]
