In response to Madi Jobarteh’s no-nonsense piece with regard to the Kanilai Jammehkunda gates altercation between some Jammeh Loyalist Gambian soldiers and the ECOWAS forces, I would like to suggest that the government of President Barrow and the National Assembly should pass an emergency bill allocating, temporarily, all so-called “Yahya […]

There are mixed reactions and judgements vis-a-via Barrow’s so-called 100 days in office; however these judgments should be extended to cover us as Gambians at home and abroad.

In the light of the debate over the tenure of President Adama Barrow and whether he should honour the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or stick to the five years presidential term, I ask the following pertinent questions: Why did “the guardian of the Gambians constitution” propose and sign an MOU […]

I am glad that sanity has finally prevailed. I would like to infinitely thank our fathers, mothers, uncles, brothers and sisters for a job well done. They said all sorts of things against you; that you are not educated; that you are “tribal” which is an insult in all forms […]
