Momodou Lamin Yaffa asked his religious brothers to make peace. He serves as first vice president under Sheriff Nano Hydara at Rawdatul Majaalis. He shared this message Thursday night when people broke their fast at Sheriff Nano's house in Brufut.
The group split apart last year when Alhaji Bamin Jaiteh claimed his team should replace Hydara as leader. Yaffa told The Standard he felt sad about what happened between them and thought they should never have fought. His team wants to fix their relationship with the other side.
Yaffa directly addressed Bamin Jaiteh, saying they should forget past problems. He asked everyone to come back together as brothers again. He stressed that Muslims should not harbor anger toward each other. Yaffa...
Fisheries Minister Musa Drammeh claims the Brikama Area Council went beyond what he approved back in 2020 when they raised rates in the West Coast Region. This came up during a heated National Assembly debate on Thursday between lawmakers Maimuna Ceesay-Darboe and Alagie Darboe. The discussion started after arguments about recent tax increases sparked public anger throughout the region.
Maimuna Ceesay-Darboe, who represents the ruling NPP party, attacked the UDP-led council for raising property taxes from D300 to D2000. She called these increases unfair to local residents and criticized UDP for speaking against a Brikama North chief who urged people not to pay these new fees. The debate turned personal when both sides accused each...
Karamo Janneh runs the Gambia Maritime Administration. He gave ship registration duties to MDIR Services Ltd. in Cyprus, which then picked his daughter Bintou as its Gambia representative. MDIR comes from Cyprus and has offices in Limassol. The GMA says MDIR knows ships well and manages international ship lists for various countries.
A letter from Director Janneh tells MDIR it can handle all Gambian ship registration work. He gave them power under sections of the Maritime Act. This means that MDIR and its leader, Mr. Theodoros Michael, can register ships, pleasure boats, and floating structures under the Gambian flag. The deal excludes only local trading vessels. The Cyprus business can charge fees for these services, according to...
Mnangagwa fights with Chiwenga over who leads next because he won't pick Chiwenga to follow him. Geza wants to kick Mnangagwa out and says he backs Chiwenga. Nobody knows for sure if Chiwenga works with Geza behind the scenes. Garwe keeps pushing for Mnangagwa to stay past 2028.
Garwe made a shocking claim about Geza. "Geza acts like someone's pet dog. We need to find who controls him," Garwe said. "When you hit a dog hard enough, its master shows up. We'll keep hitting until we see who runs the show." Top party leaders think Geza ran away to South Africa. Police want him for talking bad about the President and telling people to cause trouble.
A few weeks back, this former spy asked people to rise against the government. Instead of...
The Zimbabwean constitution spells out how lawmakers can remove a President. First, the Senate and National Assembly met together. They need 180 lawmakers to say yes to an investigation. This total represents half of all Parliament members. Lawmakers start this step if they think the President broke the rules or cannot work due to health problems.
After enough lawmakers agree, a special team takes over. The Committee on Standing Rules picks nine Parliament members to check facts. These nine people match the political balance of Parliament. Right after their appointment, they start searching for the truth about the President's actions or health status.
These nine members investigate all claims against the President. They might need...
Zimbabwe war veterans have leaked a draft plan to remove the President from office. The group, with Blessed "Bombshell" Geza at the front, claims the President suffers from brain problems that make him unfit to lead. They point to Section 97 of Zimbabwe's laws as their reason for wanting him gone. His poor health makes him a danger to national safety, they say.
Medical reports show the President has vascular dementia, according to the draft. This illness hurts his memory and stops him from thinking clearly. The war veterans believe he cannot run the country anymore because of how sick he is. They worry he might make bad choices that harm Zimbabwe.
The draft also accuses the President of stealing money with his friends. It names...
Zimbabwe lawmakers plan to remove President Mnangagwa from office based on claims he cannot run the country due to mental health problems. The draft motion says doctors found he has vascular dementia, causing severe memory loss and poor judgment. This brain condition makes him unfit to serve as president according to Section 97 of Zimbabwe's Constitution, which lets officials remove a leader who cannot perform their duties.
Medical teams confirmed on March 30, 2025, that Mnangagwa shows a serious cognitive decline affecting his memory, thinking, and behavior. The motion claims this creates a national security risk because he cannot make good decisions about defense, economic policy, or international relations. His mental state has...

A draft document for impeachment has been making the rounds in the Zanu-PF party.
People close to Chiwenga say Mnangagwa's brain isn't working well enough to make good choices anymore. One person from their side said they need strong leadership instead of uncertainty. War veterans' leader Blessed Geza is leading this push against the president. He and his supporters believe Mnangagwa refuses to let go of power despite health...
