Potential Constitutional Coup By Speaker Halifa Sallah!
Dear Editor, Heroic Halifa Sallah must be awarded the Grand Order of The Republic of The Gambia for standing up to the Dictatorship from the point when Jammeh “annulled” the elections to the point when the ECOWAS forces entered The Gambia and chased the Monster away. In that tense and […]
Appointments to the government must conform to law
From the outset, I contend that legality, its nurture and development, constitute the software of a meaningful democratic polity. Without it, the mainframe is but a mere carcass!

Caution For President Barrow
Caution Mr President! Please do not say any more on this [former President Yahya Jammeh dried state coffers] or any other matters until you get into office and can verify every information for yourself.

From Exile With Love
By Baba Galleh Jallow As I watched Yahya Jammeh get off of Gambian soil and step into the plane that carried him into exile, I felt heaviness in my chest and tears pouring uncontrollably down my face. No, they were not tears of joy at the fact that the tyrant […]
