This is Bubacarr Dem, the farmer from Dongoro Ba, who g*nned down 15-year-old Biran Jallow and buried his body in the bush.

After pulling the tr!gger, Dem summoned one of his daughters to the farm, asking her to bring him a pickaxe. She noticed the bloodstains on his shirt but did not suspect anything. Unaware of what had just happened, she left. Alone, Dem dug a shallow grave in the bush, buried the boy, and walked back home.

That evening, one of his wives noticed something unusual. Dem, who never washed his own clothes, was scrubbing his blood-stained shirt by himself. Suspicious, she asked why he did not give it to her or her co-wife. It was then that Dem confessed to her that he k!lled Biran and buried him in the bush.

When the police began questioning him, Dem denied everything - again and again. But the weight of the truth became too heavy to carry.

On Friday, he finally admitted what he had done. He told the police how he sh*t the teenager and led them to the very spot where he buried the body.

Now, Bubacarr Dem faces a future behind bars for the rest of his life. At home, he leaves behind two wives and fourteen children.

Rest in Peace, Biran.

We must stand together for change, or we will all sink together!!

The Gambia is now a country where the rich are protected, while the poor are left to suffer. If you are poor, even the smallest mistake can land you in Mile 2 prison.

You all know that we are against FGM. But the arrest of two women following the tragic death of a child allegedly subjected to FGM raises serious questions about the kind of justice system we have in this country.

Yes, holding them accountable is the right step, and the state should be commended for that. But where was the same energy when fake Indian syrups k!lled dozens of babies? No one was arrested. No one was taken to court. The tragedy was quietly swept under the carpet, until some lawyers stepped in to fight for the families of the victims.

In The Gambia, if you are rich, you can commit any crime and still walk free.

Good morning, Gambia!

Many of you still do not understand the controversy surrounding the issuance of Gambian ID cards in foreign countries. This has never happened before in Gambian history. In fact, Adama Barrow is the first president in the world to send immigration officers abroad solely to issue ID cards.

Gambians living abroad do not need ID cards. Common sense! There is no country in the world where the Gambian ID card is valid for official transactions. So why is the government wasting millions of taxpayers’ money to send immigration officers overseas? That money should instead be used to repair the broken system at home, where thousands of Gambians have already paid for ID cards but wait months without receiving them.

Similarly, thousands of Gambians in Europe and America struggle to renew their passports unless they pay bribes to immigration officers back home.

Instead of fixing this corruption and inefficiency, the government chooses to prioritize issuing ID cards abroad. Why? Because it serves their political agenda, not the people.

This is exactly why we cannot support the Barrow administration. They have no respect for Gambians.

Leep dina leer, one day. InshAllah!

FROM GALA LEADERS: Last night, our lawyer advised us not to accept self-bail. But just a few minutes ago, CID officers informed us that bail has been granted, with conditions of D50,000 and at least one Gambian surety. We refused.

Show solidarity!! 🇬🇲

When we posted that PURA had ordered GSM operators to stop their internet data promotions, many of you asked: “Where is GALA?”

Yesterday, GALA members rose up and protested PURA’s decision. They demanded what every Gambian deserves - affordable internet, like our neighbors in Senegal and beyond. Instead of being heard, they were met with police and arrested.

We cannot let them sit in their cells feeling forgotten. They stood up for every student, every hustler, every family struggling to stay connected.

You don’t need to march to show solidarity. Use your voice on social media. Post their photos, share their story, demand their release. If you are near the police stations where they’re being held, stop by and let them know they are not alone.

They didn’t protest for themselves. They protested for The Gambia. For you. For me. For everyone struggling to make ends meet.

They carried our fight. Now we must carry theirs. Let’s not let their courage be forgotten.

The story of RSM Saidy

Saidy was the RSM in Basse . During one assignment related to a land dispute, he was confronted by a hostile crowd and, acting in self-defense, discharged a teargas canister. He expected his superiors to defend his actions, but instead, they failed to support him. Shortly afterward, he was transferred to Serrekunda, a move he felt was unfair and a sign of abandonment.

Because of that experience, when he arrived at the PURA building yesterday, he approached the GALA protest with caution. Determined to avoid any confrontation, he remained calm and attempted to disperse the gathering crowd peacefully. He did not want a repeat of what had happened to him in Basse.

However, when Superintendent Lamin Sarr arrived and saw Saidy’s measured approach, he berated him for being too lenient and even threatened to charge him. Saidy, visibly shaken, repeatedly saluted and apologized to his superior. A video of the incident quickly went viral, sparking widespread criticism of Sarr for his harsh and arrogant behavior.
