The Gambian government just shared sad news about General Lamin Satou Bojang, who died recently. He served as defence attaché at their embassy in Guinea-Bissau. His death happened when he returned home to celebrate Laylatul Qadr with his loved ones. Many knew him as an accomplished military officer, diplomat, and politician who led the Alliance for National Reorientation and Development party as secretary-general.

Officials from the Foreign Affairs Ministry expressed deep sadness about his passing. According to their statement, General Bojang died on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital. They sent heartfelt sympathy to everyone close to him and praised his important work during his career. The Ministry asked Allah to show mercy to the General.

Before working at the embassy in Bissau, General Bojang filled several important roles for The Gambia. He worked as consul general in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and as deputy head of mission at the Gambian Embassy in Moscow, Russia. These positions came before his final assignment as defense attaché for Guinea-Bissau.

The Ministry hopes General Bojang finds a place in Jannatul Firdaus and prays his family finds strength during their grief. Family members, friends, and colleagues gathered on March 30, 2025, for his burial ceremony in Brufut. Throughout his distinguished career, his service to The Gambia spanned military, diplomatic, and political realms.
