On the 8th anniversary of the April 14th and 16th Peaceful Protests, here is a joint statement from Gambian CSOs / VLOs in remembrance of the victims and survivors.

Their legacies and sacrifices live on as we honor them for giving up their lives for Gambia.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Russia’s attacks against civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes.

Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming - these are acts of pure terror.

And we have to call it as such. https://t.co/3WY743k1iH

What I’m seeing now is a repetition of what we used to go through in this country. People using power to intimidate others. It saddens me that a good brother and a friend of mine #Mankajang had been detained just for doing his job as a journalist 💔 Free MankaJang!

Africa is underrepresented in the global financial architecture, just as it lacks a permanent seat on the Security Council.

The world has changed. Global governance must change with it.

We need reforms to make global frameworks truly universal & representative of today's world.

Four cases involving five individuals were left “unresolved” by the Commission. And there may be more. Victims’ families are in limbo. Will the task force bring new hope? https://t.co/BR0ZOMXTUl

[The Victims Bantaba @TBantaba]

In its recently disclosed implementation plan, The Gambian government says it will set up a task force to complete and expand the work accomplished by the #TRRC on #enforceddisappearances during Yahya Jammeh's brutal regime.

BREAKING NEWS: Judges at a U.N. war crimes court in The Hague have ruled that Félicien Kabuga, the Rwandan #genocide suspect is unfit to stand trial. Calls instead for an "alternative" legal procedure that would not end in a conviction. @unirmct
