๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทThierry Henry on Man United's Midfield Signing ร‰derson being called up by Ancelotti to Brazilโ€™s World Cup squad๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ โ€œWhat surprises me is that both ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ทร‰derson and ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ทJoรฃo Pedro had very good seasons, yet it was ร‰derson who got the call when Brazil needed a replacement.

Now, before people misunderstand me, Iโ€™m not saying ร‰derson was called up simply because he joined Manchester United. His performances absolutely played the biggest role.

But joining Manchester United puts a spotlight on you that very few clubs in world football can match.

The moment you sign for Manchester United, people watch you differently. Every game is analysed, every performance gets attention, and suddenly more eyes are on you.

ร‰derson earned this opportunity with his football, but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s a coincidence that the call came just weeks after he joined one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Thatโ€™s the power of Manchester United. The club still carries a global influence that very few teams can match.โ€

Henry thinks Man United has the influence only a few clubs can match in the world ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Ivory Coast president joins millions of Hajj pilgrims in humble Night at Muzdalifah

Alassane Ouattara was seen spending the night under the open sky at Muzdalifah alongside millions of Muslim pilgrims during one of the sacred rites of Hajj.

Images and videos of the Ivorian leader resting among ordinary worshippers drew widespread admiration on social media, with many describing the moment as a powerful reflection of Islamโ€™s message of equality and humility.

Muzdalifah, where pilgrims spend the night in prayer and reflection after leaving Arafat, is one of the key rites of the annual pilgrimage. There, distinctions of power, wealth, nationality, and social status disappear as all pilgrims gather in the same simple conditions seeking Allahโ€™s mercy and forgiveness.

Observers noted that despite being a sitting president, Ouattara slept on the same ground as millions of other pilgrims, without signs of political privilege or luxury.

Many Muslims described the scene as a reminder that Islam rejects discrimination and superiority based on race, leadership, wealth, or social class.

During Hajj, pilgrims wear simple garments, perform the same rituals, and stand equal before Allah regardless of their background.

The moment resonated with many across the Muslim world, who said it highlighted the spiritual essence of Hajj โ€” devotion, humility, repentance, and unity among believers from every corner of the globe.

With deep sorrow, we have learned of the passing of Madame Mariame Bangoura, who had travelled to Mecca with her husband to perform the holy pilgrimage. She sadly passed away after collapsing at the holy sites and answered the call of her Lord on the night of Saturday to Sunday, May 24. She was laid to rest the same day in the blessed land.

May Allah forgive her shortcomings, grant her Jannatul Firdaus, and give strength and patience to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Madame Mariame Bangoura ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Do you know how many Gambian civil servants Yankuba Minteh could pay with just one month of his salary? A lot of them.

And we have many Yankuba Mintehs in Gambia who are trying to make a name for themselves. Let's help them."๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

Government Reveals Gambia Recorded Over 163,000 New Jobs, Surpassing Barrowโ€™s 150,000 Target

The Government of The Gambia has acknowledged findings from a new national labour market report indicating improvements in employment, labour force participation, and economic recovery across the country.

The report, titled โ€œThe Gambia Labour Market: Progress and Trends, GLFS 2022-23 (Q1) to GLFS 2026 (Q1)โ€, was produced by the Gambia Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment, with support from the International Labour Organization and the World Bank-funded HISWACA project.

According to the report, labour force participation increased from 43.6 percent in 2023 to 54.5 percent in 2026, while the employment-to-population ratio rose from 40.3 percent to 51.1 percent during the same period.

The findings further showed that employment increased by more than 163,000 people, reflecting what the report described as growing economic activity and increased labour absorption across key sectors.

The report shows that unemployment declined from 7.6 percent to 6.2 percent, while overall labour underutilisation dropped from 31.6 percent to 23.6 percent.

Today, we remember and pray for the late Lieutenant Colonel Mamatarr Secka. A devoted Muslim, a loyal servant, and a humble soul whose kindness and simplicity touched many lives.

He served with dignity, respect, and dedication, always remaining down to earth despite his position. His character reflected discipline, humility, and compassion.

May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, widen and illuminate his grave, and grant him the highest place in Jannatul Firdawsi. May Allah also give strength, patience, and comfort to his family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return. ๐Ÿค

The Gambia Football Federation has announced that the senior national team, The Scorpions, will face Iran in an international friendly match on May 29, 2026, in Antalya, Turkey.

The fixture is expected to provide a major test for The Gambia against one of the strongest teams in Asia. Iran, currently ranked 21st in the latest FIFA rankings, has already secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, making the encounter one of the most high-profile international friendlies ever played by the Scorpions against a non-African opponent.

Meanwhile, the federation also revealed that discussions are at an advanced stage for two additional friendly matches against Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau.

The proposed fixtures are expected to be played in The Gambia in June and would mark the long-awaited return of the national team to the Independence Stadium after an extended absence from the venue.

The upcoming matches are part of preparations aimed at strengthening the national team ahead of future international competitions.
