*From Moment to Movement: The End of Impunity*

Gambians, we write to you today, after a while. We write to recommit ourselves to your service. We write to reassure you of the end of impunity. After a national solidarity protest, the youths of this country rediscovered their identity as the drivers of change. Prompting the need for a national movement to take the future in their own hands and chart a new destiny for the homeland.

Transitioning from a moment to a movement, Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) have successfully structured itself to a people centered movement that everyone will be able to identify with.

Following a successful meeting with our regional representatives, the movement is now brought to the doorstep of every Gambian. We will now be able to work together with everyone, irrespective of region, because all regions will be represented and given the latitude to coordinate themselves.

In the same vein, we welcome the announcement of the first public hearings of the Special Select Committee into the investigation of the former President’s assets on the 14th July, 2025.

We reiterate and assure every Gambian, that the next time this country rises against bad governance, corruption, impunity, from the Central government to the National Assembly and equally the local government councils — it will be one that is relentless, uncompromising and historic. Forever changing the dynamics of the country.

This is the time to choose between bad governance, corruption, impunity and the resistance.

Choose now!

In this piece, which provides a detailed timeline of events related to the Janneh Commission’s investigation and the disposal of Jammeh's assets as reported by The Republic and featured on Dubawa.org GALA is once again being recognized for its continued advocacy for transparency and accountability.

Through our persistent efforts, alongside thousands of concerned Gambians, the government was compelled to release what appeared to be an incomplete list of alleged buyers, assets sold, and sale prices. This partial disclosure sparked significant public outrage, prompting a presidential statement and the initiation of a parliamentary inquiry.

As we continue to monitor developments and await the inquiry's outcome, GALA remains firmly committed to ensuring full transparency and accountability in the management and disposal of Jammeh looted assets.

A society where corruption is normalized will hardly see any progress. Accountability and transparency are non-negotiable. When we take responsibility for our actions and communicate openly, we create a culture of integrity. To ensure meaningful progress, corruption must never be encouraged. GALA remains committed to fighting corruption in the Gambia.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Gambians Against Looted Assets welcomes news that Mr. Abubacarr Ba Tambadou, was not elected to the International Court of Justice. As a nationalist movement dedicated to fighting corruption in The Gambia, we have for the past few weeks, along with thousands of Gambians protested his nomination to the ICJ. Despite our strong rejection of his candidacy and the continued widespread scrutiny of his time in office, Ba to our disappointment remained The Gambia’s nominee to the ICJ.

However, GALA believes that the ICJ election result reflects the importance of integrity and accountability in international institutions, qualities that Mr. Tambadou has since lost. This outcome sends a clear message that those under a cloud of misconduct have no place in institutions that demand the highest ethical standards.

While we affirm our strong commitment to transparency, accountability, and due process, we implore the government to uphold the principles of integrity and accountability by ensuring that those nominated to such positions are Gambians with unquestionable records, especially in public service. Additionally, we wish to stress that GALA will continue to speak out against corruption. And until the public gets the full, actual list of Jammeh forfeited assets, we will continue to seek answers even if it means taking to the streets again. And this time it will be nationwide.

Long Live the Republic of The Gambia.

🚨Out Now🚨
On Africa Day, our sister Awa Bling dropped "Voices, Not Vermin" a bold response to a National Assembly member in The Gambia who called protesting youths “cockroaches.”
This is more than a song, it’s a stand for justice, dignity, and African resilience.
Today, we rise with music. Please support by sharing this masterpiece.

True patriotism means holding your nation to its highest ideals, not turning a blind eye, but demanding honesty, accountability, and justice from those in power.

Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) wishes to inform the public that in our previous announcement of the Central Committee members, GALA included Fatoumatta Sandeng as Diaspora Coordinator. There was a breach of communication in our exchange with Mrs. Sandeng who is unable to take up the position now, but assures the team of her continued support. We urge the public to consider these current members as representatives of GALA.

The Diaspora Coordinator position will remain vacant until further notice. GALA remains committed to upholding transparency and integrity in all our operations.

A NATION MISLED BY THE STATE

After the information minister’s revelations on coffee time with Peter Gomez on Tuesday 20th May 2025, the nation was struck by a sad revelation about the sales of the former President’s forfeited assets by the Janneh commission.

The Minister of information, Dr. Ismaila Ceesay, revealed that the list published to the public by the state was misleading. He confirmed that the commission only presented a comprehensive report but the report never contained any list of buyers and sellers of the forfeited assets.

Due to this revelation, we condemn the government for misleading the Gambian people and equally, we totally reject the list that was published on 11th May, 2025.

We call on the government to publish the full list, comprehensive report presented to the government, and all other relevant documents of public interest. We will, in no time, demand the report and reject the list through every means necessary.

We will, without hesitation, mobilize all Gambians, across all regions, to take to the streets to reject the misleading list and demand for the full list and comprehensive report presented to the government.

We call on all Gambians to condemn the government for misleading the public by providing a fake list of buyers which was never presented to them by the commission.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Fellow Gambians,

We are pleased to announce the formal introduction of the Central Committee of Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA). Following the government’s response to our demands, which included the release of details regarding the controversial sale of forfeited assets belonging to former president Jammeh, an address to the nation by the President, and parliament's establishment of an inquiry into the Janneh Commission's sale of Jammeh’s looted assets, we have dedicated the past week to setting up the national Central Committee that will guide the movement’s direction moving forward.

As a nationalist movement committed to a future rooted in integrity, accountability, and transparency, we believe it is now time to formally introduce to the Gambian people the leaders of GALA. Our leadership, as shown in the attached flyer, reflects the values we uphold honest governance, responsible citizenship, and unwavering dedication to the people of The Gambia. This Central Committee comprises Gambians from various backgrounds, united by a common purpose to drive a new era of youth-led action for national renewal and public trust.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our deepest gratitude to the Gambian people, both at home and abroad, for your continued support. What began as a small group of fewer than ten Gambians has grown into a national movement that is now widely admired and respected, thanks to your belief in our cause for a better Gambia.

As we move forward, we urge the public to recognize and engage only with the legitimate leaders of GALA, as outlined in the attached flyer. Any individuals claiming to be part of the GALA Central Committee who are not listed here should be regarded as unauthorized representatives. We stress the importance of working with the officially recognized leadership to ensure the integrity of our movement.

We look forward to collaborating with all of you in the upcoming activities of our movement. Once again, we thank you all for your unwavering support and encourage you to stay engaged as we continue on this path toward a brighter future for The Gambia.

Warm regards,

GALA CENTRAL COMMITTEE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GALA Responds to False Accusations by Diplomat Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay

Banjul, The Gambia – 18.05.2025

The Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA) expresses deep disappointment over recent defamatory remarks made by Mrs. Fatoumatta Jahumpa Ceesay, former Speaker of the National Assembly and current Gambian Ambassador to South Africa with accreditation to several other Southern African Countries.
In an audio recording that has circulated on social media networks, Mrs. Jahumpa Ceesay falsely alleges that GALA is being “funded” or “pushed” by opposition political figures, including Essa Mbye Faal (APP SOBEYAA Leader), Activist Pa Samba Jaw, and Ms. Juka Ceesay. These accusations are categorically false, wholly unfounded, and deliberately misleading.

As a Nationalist Movement committed to transparency, accountability, and youth empowerment, GALA operates independently and without political affiliation. These baseless claims not only misrepresent our work but also constitute a defamatory attack on the integrity of our members.

It is deeply troubling that a senior public figure and diplomat would make such serious allegations without a shred of evidence. We find it equally alarming that Mrs. Jahumpa Ceesay has voiced support for the recent derogatory remarks made in Parliament by the National Assembly Member for Sabach Sanjal, Hon. Ceesay, who referred to peaceful youth protesters as “cockroaches.” Such language and endorsements betray the values of democracy, respect, and diplomacy. And coming from a diplomat, a senior citizen makes it even more troubling.

We hereby demand an immediate and public apology from Mrs. Jahumpa Ceesay. Should she fail to retract her statements and issue a formal apology, GALA will explore all legal avenues available to defend our reputation and the rights of our members.
GALA remains steadfast in our mission. No amount of slander, political intimidation, or misinformation will derail our commitment to fighting for justice, equity, transparency, and accountability in The Gambia.
We call on all leaders — past and present — to uplift and empower young people, not tear them down for exercising their democratic rights.

Long Live the Republic of The Gambia.
