Ousman Sonko, former Gambian Interior Minister under Yahya Jammeh, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.
This landmark decision brings justice to the victims and reinforces accountability. #Accountability
Horrifying: documentation of the execution of Palestinian citizen Ramzi Abu Sahlool, 51, in the Mawasi area two days ago. An itv photographer captured the incident after citizens were displaced from the area declared earlier safe by the Israeli army. Carrying a white flag, the citizen tried to evacuate his family but was executed by the Israeli army.
Irish MEP @wallacemick: "The US & EU have done nothing to stop Israeli Genocide in #Gaza whereas the Houthis have done something by interfering with Ships facilitating it."
The government of the Gambia continues to show us every single time that they don’t care about women in this country.
The president has pardoned Rapists and murderers!!!
Explains the disregard for women’s security and peace. The president and the government do not care about us
Pardoning murderers and rapists is directly proportional to encouraging murderers and rapists to continue murdering and raping. This country sometimes, you just want to put your hands on your head and scream and run into the town 😭💔
"It was like a nightmare. I had a panic attack."
The Gambia's national football team were in Morocco to play their Afcon qualifying match when they were caught up in the earthquake in which nearly 3,000 people died. Captain Omar Colley spoke to the BBC about what happened.
While the public’s help is needed to arrest the suspect, parents, guardians and everyone should know this guy is armed and dangerous. A murderer with a gun is on the loose!
It is indeed a disappointing day for Gambia as majority of the National Assembly members are trying to repeal the FGM laws.
This is a huge drawback to the progress made with regards to FGM in the country. The act is horrendous and continues to put the lives of our sisters at risk. However, we must not relent, let’s continue the fight against FGM, let’s brace up and end this act together. #ENDFGM
I am calling on all development partners from the @UN to the @EU_Partnerships to @USAID@WorldBank
Since they accuse us of moving your agender because of funding! We demand that you also take action against nations who choose to put culture ahead of women and girls.
The @NHRCGambia is gravely perturbed and concerned regarding attempts by some members of the National Assembly advocating for the repeal of the Women's Amendment Act 2015.

Calling each other names won’t get us anywhere. National dialogue is essential at this point between civil society actors and religious leaders in The Gambia. #EndFGM
