By Mathew K. Jallow It was less than flattering. Matter of fact; it was downright underwhelming. The Nigerian born “so-called” Chief Justice, who once served as a pizza deliverer to a Gambian IT wonk in Atlanta, Georgia, confirmed the reality of what the Gambia’s online media religiously pursued as a civil rights cause; the unethicality of the foreign dominated Gambian judiciary system. Last week, the shocking underhandedness and tragic disrepute of the wayward judiciary suddenly became the centerpiece of the broader political conversation, and exposed the cruel underbelly of the Gambia’s system of dispensing justice. The unpropitious so-called, Chief Justice,…
By Sainey Faye August 3, 1832…….On this date, one of the giants and proponents of Pan-Africanism was born; in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.At an early age of 18 years, he left for the U.S.A. in 1850 to further studies in the field of theological seminary; but was turned down due to his race and racism – prevalent during those times.Frustrated, but not discouraged he left that year and headed home to Liberia.

WRONG PROBLEMS! WRONG SOLUTIONS! It’s already a long struggle – 50 years. NCP and other political parties fought against PPP. The goal was not democracy (maybe am wrong, it was about their version of democracy). It would not have made any difference if anyone of those parties won and assume power. Perhaps some cosmetic changes – ‘A New Sheriff-In-Town’ with his clique. About 20 years ago we had a new sheriff-in-town came – Yahya AJJ Jammeh. It seems his clique changes every 3 months or should I say he recycles the clique every 3 months. Many argued we’ve gotten worst…
Zimbabweans voted in their country’s first national elections this week since the violent and disputed polls in 2008. These elections were an opportunity for Zimbabwe to move forward on a democratic path and provide a foundation for growth and prosperity. The people of Zimbabwe should be commended for rejecting violence and showing their commitment to the democratic process. But make no mistake: in light of substantial electoral irregularities reported by domestic and regional observers, the United States does not believe that the results announced today represent a credible expression of the will of the Zimbabwean people.
DUGA wants to register its profound appreciation to all Gambians who took time to call, fax, email and picket BGR, the lobby group that is being paid a staggering $45,000 per month to decontaminate Yahya Jammeh in the USA. We claim no easy victories, but the phone blitz and our presence at BGR headquarters forced them to take their phones off the hook and turn a deaf ear to the outrage in the voices of Gambians. Our collective outrage at the callous collaboration between Yahya Jammeh and BGR, the tyrant enabling lobbyists, is beyond justified.
By Sulayman Jeng Striving to remain pure and pristine like a snow flake in a world sinking in sinful drips is absolutely a herculean task especially if one is gullible. History has recorded different generations which unconscious drifted away from the path leading to eternal bliss to makeshift cities were nothing is neither right nor wrong. Suffice it to say most of those slips are often precipitated by a single act of innocence and goodwill which eventually finds itself transformed into a new form and meaning. This can be better demonstrated by citing a familiar instance at home; “Meet the…
