As our team led by @MB_Sowe continues to build capacity with victims on the Special Accountability Mechanism process and the work of the Victims Reparations Commission, we are currently in #BrikamaBa.
Here are some powerful reflections from the victims:
‘Reparations are meant for victims but victims are dying. What is the purpose of reparations if they don’t reach us in time?”
‘It’s painful to see foreign countries leading the push for justice in The Gambia, while our own government remains slow and unresponsive.”
‘The sale of Jammeh’s assets adds to our pain. Those funds should have been used to compensate the victims.”
“The information you shared with us today has been truly enlightening and valuable.”

Courts of law — everywhere on earth — rely on public legitimacy for their moral and legal authority. Once there’s a yawning trust deficit, courts become an impediment to the rule of law and democracy. That’s why impugned judges must resign to restore faith in the judiciary.
We don't need politicians to reform our courts. We can do it ourselves. Under the leadership of Madam President @FaithOdhiambo8, the @LawSocietyofKe and progressive advocates like Le President @NelsonHavi , INSHAALLAH 2025 will be a watershed in judicial reforms...taking out CJ @CJMARTHAKOOME, DCJ MWILU, Supreme Court of Kenya and all corrupt judges is the irreducible minimum in this journey.
“We will go for incompetent and corrupt Judges. We will not spare our own. We will also go for corrupt Advocates and have them struck off the Roll of Advocates.” Dr Gibson Kamau Kuria SC
@TalibGibran@Kerrfatou But what's there to "gazette" and "extend" when the law is very clear that a license is for three years? Isn't this Minister himself a lawyer?! These people are a joke

Earlier today I held a telephone discussion with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about significant issues including the latest developments in the Palestinian territories.
On behalf of the Republic of The Gambia, I headed a delegation of senior government officials to Cameroon to attend the 50th session of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) council of foreign ministers (CFM).

In 1975, The Gambia's first president visited China & presented a wood carved doe to Chairman Mao, formally establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries. Here is the story of how people-to-people exchange is having impact on Gambians.

In 1976, a group of Namibian students arrived in Gambia to continue school. More arrived until 1990. Nearly 5 decades later, where are they? I did this with absolute passion👇🏿
