President Adama Barrow today marked the eighty first anniversary of the 1944 Thiaroye massacre in Senegal, telling attendees that the killings were “not a mutiny but a cold blooded ex*****on of unarmed men whose only crime was to demand what was rightfully theirs.”

He said The Gambia shared in the trauma of the event, noting that Gambians “are not here as distant observers” but “affected and concerned victims who stand in solidarity with the descendants of the Senegalese Infantry.”

Barrow commended President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the Government of Senegal for their commitment to establishing the full truth about Thiaroye, calling the international research initiative “a crucial step towards historical justice.”

He added that colonial crimes should be taught honestly so future generations understand “both the crimes committed and the resilience with which our ancestors resisted.”

Families in the Sukuta Salagi area who claim ancestral ownership of parts of the land have rejected remarks by Local Government Minister Hamat NK Bah, who told lawmakers last week Wednesday that the government owes “not even one dime” in compensation because residents “did not own the land” or follow “due process.”

In their response, the families insist their rights to the land date back generations and say the minister presented a “one sided presentation of facts.” They recount decades of complaints to authorities, cite a 2010 commission that reportedly confirmed parts of their land were outside the government layout, and question how the state “legally obtained ownership of the Sukuta Salagi layout.”

They also ask the minister to show any constitutional engagement with them and to disclose “to whom compensation was paid and what the amount was,” adding, “We now leave the rest for you to judge.”
