I think Mr. Sidi N. Bojang is wrong to claim there is a cult like belief surrounding the heroism of Ebrima Solo Sandeng whose extra-ordinary sacrifices warranted genuine Gambians to celebrate his life. He was a man whose selfless role led to the achievement of our new found democracy that […]

GAMBIANS: LET’S BE CAREFUL OF WHAT WE WISH FOR!
Part 2 Our new found democracy comes with a lot of freedom but this new-found freedom must not be abused or misused. With all the inherent weaknesses of democracy, the benefits it brings in terms of freedom of speech, freedom of association, equal access to Justice System, guarantee of rule […]
What Worries Me About TRRC
My fear is that the ambitions of Mr Jallow will blow the legal parameters for setting up a TRRC out of proportion. I didn’t read any where that TRRC is mandated to create a better Gambia nor am I in clue about why the scope of area Mr. Jallow wants […]
What Hon. Halifa Sallah Needs
Sheriff Kora’s article [The Broken Gavel – Halifa Sallah v Mariam Denton] is a brilliant one and up to the point. The key words in recent behavior manifested in the National Assembly are lack of “emotional intelligence” as indicated in the article. Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize self […]
What Voting For Rambo Means
Who doesn’t remember Ousman Rambo Jatta during the dark days of the APRC’s brutal regime? The New Gambia is today a democratic country otherwise the likes of Rambo should be banned to run for public office for a specific period of time. The track record of Rambo Jatta is so […]
Let’s Be Careful Of What We Wish For!
Part 1 The recent defeat of dictatorship in our motherland has woken up that good angel of patriotism in the country in different forms including the strong desire to take control of our institutions and ultimately our future and destiny.

Re: What Separates UDP And PDOIS

What Separates UDP And PDOIS
There is a fundamental, albeit a significant, difference between UDP [United Democratic Party] and PDOIS [People’s Democratic Organisation for Independence and Socialism], and between Ousainou Darboe and Halifa Sallah. PDOIS is a doctrinaire party; the types that revolve around a single individual, not unlike a cult, and was in style […]
What Hasn’t Happen A Year Into Barrow Presidency
Mr. Editor, Allow me space to make a very quick summary of what has and hasn’t occurred during this one year of President Adama Barrow’s rule. With intention I would first begin with what has not occurred in the new Gambia during the one year of Barrow´s rule. HERE IS […]
What I Hate In New Gambia!
Irrespective of our differences in ideology, culture, religion or ethnicity, Gambians on December 1st 2016 weathered the storm by defeating the man who hanged yoke of brutality on our necks. Defeating Yahya Jammeh – the man who singlehandedly decided who survived, tortured, disappeared and lived, claimed to have owned the […]
Contas Get What They Deserve
When Demba Conta, the Gambia’s reggae music star, left his homeland in the 70s he had no idea what future holds for him or where his destiny lies. But one thing he never forgets was his Why. Why did he leave his country and her sweet culture and way of […]
