Following Ebrima Dibba’s allegations that the First Lady tried to prevent him from boarding a public ferry on Sunday, the Ministry of Information said that First Lady Fatoumatta Bah‑Barrow did not stop the UNITE Party member from boarding and called the claims “false and without basis.”

The ministry said Dibba was allowed to board and stressed that public services, including Gambia Ferry Services, must serve all citizens fairly.

It urged media and the public to verify reports before sharing them.

Senegal has charged 71 men with “unnatural acts” as part of an intensified crackdown on homosexuality, the public prosecutor’s office said.

Twenty‑eight other defendants had their charges dropped, the statement added.

The arrests follow a new law passed in March that raises prison terms for same‑sex relations to five to ten years.

More than 100 people, including some local celebrities, have been detained in recent months on suspicion of homosexual acts and, in some cases, alleged deliberate transmission of HIV.

Prosecutors said charges of “endangering the lives of others” and “wilful transmission of HIV/AIDS” were dismissed in the latest round.

Prosecutor Saliou Dicko said a French engineer held since February also had charges dropped, though prosecutors have appealed that decision.

Iran says it is not holding direct talks with the United States and is only exchanging messages through intermediaries, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state media.

Araghchi said mediators were seeking ways to restart negotiations but that Tehran will not resume talks until Washington remedies what he described as violations of a memorandum of understanding.

He added that changes to sea routes in the Strait of Hormuz are a technical and legal matter and do not amount to “opening” the strait.

President Adama Barrow has kicked off a regional development tour by laying foundation stones for key road projects across the North Bank Region, according to State House.

The initiatives include the Essau-Barra Backway Road Project and new links in Fass Njaga Choi, designed to connect the communities of Madina Manneh, Sam Johen, and Ndugu Charreh.

President Barrow also laid foundation stones across the Nuimi and Jokadou districts, covering key routes in Kerr Samba Kalla, Bakalarr, Jurunku, and Kerr Omar Saine.

State House said the government-funded project aims to significantly enhance mobility and boost regional trade by linking rural farmers to local markets, while expanding community access to schools and essential healthcare facilities.
