Three Gambian women helped their team win another trophy in Liberia. Ruggy Joof, Mbassey Darboe, and Catherine Jatta played for Determine Girls FC, which just won the league title for the fifth straight time. The champions beat Bushrod Queens 9-1 at Samuel Kenyon Doe Stadium during their victory celebration Saturday. According to reports from the Gambia Football Federation, their Gambian teammates made a huge difference throughout the entire season.
Captain Joof led a strong defense that only lost one match all season. She scored once herself and created five goals for teammates during their campaign. Midfielder Darboe showed amazing skill with 15 goals and 16 assists across all matches. Forward Jatta added seven goals and helped...
Navy boats patrol the River Gambia looking for illegal fishing nets that hurt fish populations. These small mesh nets catch baby fish before they grow up, making fewer fish available for local people who need them. Chief Officer Ngum leads these patrols because he wants future generations to keep fishing these waters. His team works as part of a larger program that protects natural areas across The Gambia.
The country has restored 340 square kilometers of rivers, coasts, and forests in recent years. UNEP helped create jobs through this conservation work after years of environmental damage. The Gambia sits along one of West Africa's biggest rivers but faces pressure from its growing population. People cut mangrove trees for firewood and...
These days, politicians fight instead of talking. People judge ideas based on who said them rather than how helpful they might be. Good citizens praise what works from any leader but also point out mistakes when needed.
Strong people can admit when rivals do something right. Smart leaders recognize progress even from those they disagree with. Opposition parties should suggest better ways to handle problems rather than just saying no to everything. Those who attack others for seeing good in different parties weaken our democracy. Everyone must stay loyal to facts over political groups.
Every Gambian can share opinions without fear. Disagreeing with leaders shows freedom, not disloyalty. Attacking someone for different views hurts free...
Sexual health means feeling good about your body and sex life. People deserve safe sex without force or discrimination. Everyone needs accurate information about birth control methods they can afford. Services like abortion care should remain available. All people need health care for infections, cancer screening, and other issues related to reproduction.
Physical health involves staying free from diseases that spread through sex. Mental wellness includes positive feelings about your body and sexuality. Social health means having good relationships without violence. These aspects matter for people of all ages and backgrounds. Good sexual health helps individuals make smart choices about their bodies.
The Gambia faces many problems...
Trump plans to cut money for the US to work with other countries. America might give less help to African nations like The Gambia. They want to lower spending from $52 billion to $28 billion next year. This will hurt places that need help. The Gambia has tried hard these past eight years to be a good partner.
A new system divides African countries into three groups based on travel rules. Red means total ban for Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. Orange means tough limits for Eritrea, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan. Yellow means warning status for The Gambia, with Angola, Benin, Chad, Malawi, and others. The reasons seem unclear since President Barrow improved things.
The Foreign Ministry says nothing about this problem. People wonder why no...
People wonder if PDOIS leader Halifa Sallah might come back as a candidate. His party friend Sidia Jatta hinted he could return if many voters asked him. Sallah told Star FM that this question misses the point because he cares more about changing how politics works than personal goals. He faced death threats during the 2016 crisis but stayed to protect The Gambia from harm.
The veteran politician received 32,000 votes last time, which he sees as a clear message not to run again. Sallah wants to help anyone whose plans match his vision for the country. He believes supporters should back whoever he recommends rather than insist he must be the candidate. Sallah refuses to work with people who just want power positions. He made his choice...
A top lawyer wants President Barrow to create a commission on home demolitions in Sukuta-Salagi. Lamin J Darboe believes the government acted wrongly when houses were torn down. Many families became homeless after the Physical Planning officials came with security forces. These officials claimed people built on government land, but residents showed permits from the same department.
Darboe says the Sukuta-Kenebaring area never legally belonged to the government. He mentioned how community members wrote letters about officials taking their property. The government created a panel with police leadership to look into these claims. Darboe had to threaten legal action before seeing their report. The investigation confirmed improper land...
Mayor Bensouda from Kanifing started looking into bad behavior by council police officers. People saw these officers strip a woman searching for money that they claimed she had taken. Many citizens felt angry after watching male officers take cash from her underwear as her baby watched.
The mayor called this matter very serious. He wants to wait for the investigation results before deciding what happens next. The Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights sees this as harmful treatment that hurts both mother and child. They worry about how officers exposed them during this rough search with shouting.
The Centre asked KMC leaders to hold these officers accountable for their actions. They want officials to create better ways to handle...
UDP feels angry about how the NPP leaders at the Kerewan Area Council spend money. Chairman Papa Tunkara bought expensive cars instead of helping the North Bank Region. The council paid D7.6 million for luxury vehicles when communities need clean water. This amount makes up more than 20% of their budget.
The chairman traveled to America for a meeting that cost almost D1.5 million and had no benefits for locals. They plan another trip soon that will cost over D2 million, even though they could attend online. Many families in NBR cannot find clean water or use good roads to reach their farms.
Papa Tunkara started building his official home rather than finishing markets at Pakau Njogu or Madina Serign Mass from previous plans. President...
