SENEGAL SHOW SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE TO MAINTAIN DOMINANCE OVER THE GAMBIA

Playing in front of home supporters, Senegal once again proved that they are unmatched against the Scorpions of The Gambia as they showed a superior performance to defeat the visitors 3-1 at Stade Abdoulaye Wadé in Diamniadio. Just as expected, the host first took the lead in the first half stoppages after the Scorpions initially appeared defiant. It was the unlikeliest of scorers, centre-back Abdoulaye Seck, Senegal's captain for the night, who glanced home a free header after a corner from El-Hadji Malick Diouf. Within a moment of his introduction after the break, the PSG starlet Ibrahim Mbaye doubled Senegal's lead after a clever pass from Ismaila Sarr in the 47th minute. At that moment, it looked more like a desperate moment for the Scorpions, but veteran captain Omar Colley restored a bit of confidence as he nodded home a Yankuba Minteh's corner from a tight angle to make it 2-1. But when coach Pape Thiaw reverted to his bench, that certainly means an increase in Senegal's hunger for victory and substitute Lamine Camara sealed a deserved 3-1 win for the holders of the AFCON crown.This might be a game against a side [The Gambia] ranked 116 as opposed to Senegal who are ranked 12, but Senegal perhaps knew that given the proximity, the Scorpions would give their best in the clash to try to put their dominance to an end, maybe the more reason they opted to play against the Scorpions. It could also be looked at as a way of presenting their AFCON trophy to their neighbours, The Gambia, a way of strengthening the relationship between the two countries. Either way, the bigger focus was on the 90 minutes for the night. Stade Abdoulaye Wadé wasn't full, but Senegal has a greater number of supporters on the stands, and a decent number of Scorpions supporters took the six-hour journey to cheer their players too. Despite the rift between them and the Confederation of African Football, who now declared Morocco as winners of the AFCON on "disciplinary" grounds after Senegal protested against a penalty decision in the final and left the pitch before coming back to continue playing and ended up winning 1-0 against Morocco. Nicholas Jackson started his football in the Gambian First Division League before moving to Senegal Senegal who took the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sports to maintain their status as champions, paraded their AFCON trophy before the Senegalese and Gambian supporters inside the stadium. As a way of showing respect for that achievement, the visiting supporters cheered them as they walked around with what will be their second AFCON title provided that their appeal is successful. And when the 33-year-old Mauritanian referee Abdul Aziz Bouh blew for the kick-off, the host quickly got out of the block and tried to press with high intensity. In the process, both Assan Diao and Abdoulaye Seck had their efforts ricochet off the goal post and Gambia's goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye was forced into some saves.On the other hand, the Scorpions, who were very disciplined, were focused on trying to establish themselves in the game. Aside from the obvious threat of Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, who was a cause for concern for Senegal's defence with his accelerating pace, nothing much was seen of the Scorpions' side. Their best chance in the first half fell to Abdoulie Manneh who hit straight at the goalkeeper after a brilliant loop pass from Abubakr Barry. But when the Scorpions supporters thought they had held the AFCON champions to a stalemate draw at halftime, their team's inability to defeat a set-piece was again exposed as Seck ran without any disturbance through Gambia's defence and beat Baboucarr Gaye with a header for the breakthrough goal. Straight after the restart, Senegal's coach Pape Thiaw, who started the game largely with second-choice players, introduced Dieng, Mbaye and Mendy to the game. Those substitutions paid off immediately as Ibrahim Mbaye left the Gambia's goalkeeper helpless with a one-touch finish after the mesmeric Ismaila Sarr squared off a pass to his path in the box. At that moment, hopes for a comeback started dashing. If it were a home game, some fans might start leaving for fear of more goals. But captain Omar Colley gave a moment to the Scorpions supporters to celebrate as he scored a header in the 51st minute to become the first Scorpions player to score a goal at the gigantic Abdoulaye Wadé stadium. Omar Colley is the most experienced player in this Gambian side. Even with the introduction of more players, coach Jonathan McKinstry and his players were not able to salvage a draw.Instead, it was the AS Monaco midfielder Lamin Camara who came on from the bench to seal a deserved 3-1 victory for the host as he rebounded home from close range after a save by Baboucarr Gaye in the stoppage time. This was the young lad's third goal in two games against the Gambia at this level. Aside from the overly ambitious supporters, not many were expecting a victory for the Scorpions against a nation they've been struggling to beat across all categories in football, including at the school level. The focus with this largely inexperienced squad could only be on preparing the team ahead of the next AFCON qualifiers.This score for a football writer, is not any embarrassing. The question should be, how is Senegal steadily becoming a powerhouse in African football, a development that is cutting across all cadres of their football. Does it have to do with good administration, heavy investment or their close ties with teams and academies in France? Perhaps we will be back here another time to look at things that The Gambia could learn from Senegal to be able to attain new heights in football. For the Lions of Teranga, this was another justification that they are no match for The Gambia on the pitch, having defeated them 3-0 on January 15 2024, in the Ivory Coast AFCON. The African champions are not taking any chances heading into the World Cup. They were on the back of a 2-0 victory over Peru, and now that they have added another morale booster ahead of the global showpiece.

OVER 2,000 KMC YOUTHS THANK PRESIDENT BARROW FOR RAMADAN NIGHT FOOTBALL TOURNEY, HAIL PEACE AND UNITY

More than 2,000 young people from the Kanifing Municipality met with President Adama Barrow to thank him for sponsoring the Ramadan Night Football Tournament held last month. The month-long competition brought together 40 teams and was designed to promote peace, sports, and unity among youths in the municipality.The delegation included participating teams, fans, organisers, officials, and youth leaders who mobilised to show appreciation for the President’s support.Abdoulie Juwara, a member of the organising committee, said the tournament was “much more than a football competition.” It gave young people a platform to showcase talent, interact with peers, and foster peace and unity. What began as an idea for 12 teams quickly expanded to 40, which Juwara said reflects the passion of youths to take part in activities that encourage healthy growth and responsible citizenship.Essa Jatta, vice president of Star Boys, champions of the tournament, called it “one of the most important events in the history of his club.” Star Boys took home a trophy and a D85,000 cash prize. Beyond competition, Jatta said the tournament kept youths engaged, focused, and united. He thanked President Barrow for backing what he called a “noble idea” and urged him to continue his patronage to help young people participate in national development.Youth leader Pa Njie, credited with the tournament’s success, said it brought “unprecedented unity” to KMC. He noted the overwhelming participation and peaceful conduct of the youths, stating that “no single incident of violence” was reported throughout the tournament. He linked this to the discipline of participants who upheld high standards of sportsmanship and respect for opponents. Njie added that the event also created off-field opportunities, with vendors benefiting from food and refreshment sales. He thanked the President and pledged to expand future editions to include more teams.Special Adviser to the President Momodou Sabally praised Barrow for empowering youths through sports and called for continued unity and respect for the law. He told the gathering that “the future is bright for Gambian youths.”Higher Education Minister Professor Pierre Gomez commended the youths for returning to thank the President. He said the Barrow administration has invested in sports infrastructure nationwide to empower young people. He encouraged the youths to embrace the President’s development efforts by registering in large numbers for the upcoming election to grant him another five-year mandate.His Excellency Adama Barrow President of the Republic of The Gambia provided a sponsorship package of D500,000 for the tournament. [PC: Saul Touray]President Barrow expressed “profound gratitude” to the young people for their unity during the tournament. He said their maturity and exemplary conduct showed that sports can serve as a powerful vehicle for national development, peace, and unity. The President urged them to maintain discipline and focus, noting that sports promote development, peaceful coexistence, and positive attitudes. The tournament, he added, proved that young people can shape their destiny when empowered. He renewed his commitment to supporting Gambian youths to become responsible and patriotic citizens.The meeting closed with entertainment from fan clubs, which organisers said added energy to the games and helped galvanise young people across the municipality.

    BREAKING THE CULTURE OF SILENCE: A DIG INTO MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AMONG GAMBIAN WOMEN

    As the world commemorates the 2025 International Women's Day, we examine the silent struggle many Gambian women face. The mental health challenges that are often hidden behind the pressures of daily life. From the isolation of postpartum depression to the scars left by gender-based violence. Women continue to fight secret battles. Yet, in a society where emotional vulnerability is seen as a weakness, they continue to endure in silence. In this piece, we dig deep into their struggles and narrate their experiences as they break the silence. We engage experts on what could be done for the many women fighting battles in their matrimonial homes. What truly needs to be done - a question for all to respond to.THE CHALLENGE Mental health remains a taboo topic in the country, especially for women, who are expected to be resilient caretakers while managing work, family, and societal expectations. For many, the burden becomes too heavy to carry alone but women facing monumentally disparaging conditions often struggle in silence.We visited Fatou Mbaye at Serrekunda, a mother of four who is a local food vendor. She said waking up at 5 a.m. is a daily routine, no matter how tired she might be.She rushes to the market, navigating the chaos to buy ingredients for the breakfast she sells to make ends meet and boost the family's income. It's a never-ending pressure, with scorching heat weighing her down as she stirs pots to serve customers and answer the endless calls of her four children. The weight of a wife, mother, and local food vendor is a crushing responsibility, yet no one sees the cracks forming beneath her forced smile.In anxiety, her mind constantly spinning with ‘worry over how to keep going’, in a society where women are expected to be strong, resilient, and silent. And for her, it's a matter of finding a way to survive it.‘After preparing the breakfast I sell, I bathe my children and get them ready for school. Then, I head out to run my small breakfast business. I return home around noon and quickly rush to the market to buy ingredients for lunch.’Fatou Mbaye, a mother of four who volunteered to narrate her experience as a house wife and street vendor 'After that, I take care of household chores and start cooking. I pause midway to pick up my children from school, then return home to finish preparing lunch before my husband gets back from work’ She recounts. Stress has been normalised to the point where women believe they must endure it without complaint. Fatou said if she speaks up, she risks being labelled as weak or ungrateful.‘The stress can be overwhelming, sometimes reaching a point where you feel anxious and emotionally drained, leading to mental exhaustion. Living under such pressure can be incredibly tough. Women go through so much, carrying heavy burdens every day.’‘Imagine waking up at 5 a.m. and working nonstop until 9 p.m. - that kind of routine is exhausting. Men should support their women in every possible way. If they can't provide financially, they should at least offer peace, encouragement, and emotional support’ Fatou said.WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING?As the world amplifies the voices of women, one conversation remains critical—the mental health crisis silently consuming women who carry the weight of their world alone. Even though calls are always made for the protection of women's rights, not much sensitisation is done to help women get over their internal crises, as many of them do not recognize that their feelings are rooted in mental health struggles.Madam Fatou Kinneh Kantara, a senior psychology lecturer at the University of The Gambia, said the burden of untold struggles can lead to severe mental distress. She emphasized the importance of respecting, protecting, and providing counselling for women, highlighting that unspoken pain often weighs heavier than visible wounds.‘The best thing about dealing with stressful issues is to discuss it. You have to talk to professionals about it, somebody who can actively listen to you and give you a safe space. Women should be celebrated, respected, loved and kind too.’‘Women have to be kind to each other as well, love and support each other mentally and physically. These are important things. If a woman is not comfortable, if they are going through any problem the whole family will suffer,’ the psychology expert said.EXPERIENCE OF A NEW MOTHERFor new mothers, the challenge is even more profound. Postpartum depression (PPD) affects many women, but in Gambian society, the topic is rarely discussed. New mothers are expected to be joyful and grateful, and anything less is often seen as unnatural.Binta Jammeh, a 29-year-old mother from Bakoteh, recalls how she had to give up her job to fully dedicate herself to the demanding roles of motherhood and being a wife.Binta's experience is a common one, yet many women suffer in silence, feeling ashamed to admit that they are struggling as they strive to avoid things that could jeopardise their marriages. ‘It’s very stressful. Having a child, you were a career woman - going to work and now everything stops. The first stress I went through was that there was no steady income for me anymore. So, if you are not very careful, sometimes it brings some friction between you and your partner when it comes to finance.’ Binta said.A CALL FOR CHANGE Among the sources of support for many struggling women, are the advocates and activists who they usually turn to when they can no longer stand the heat, especially on GBV issues.For some women, the impact of gender-based violence (GBV) compounds their mental health issues.Survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and forced marriages often carry deep psychological scars. Yet, many women are urged to keep their experiences private to avoid shame. Satang Dumbuya, an Advocacy Officer at the Network Against Gender Based Violence, emphasized the need for change.‘We may not be able to do something directly for someone who is silently suffering and not talking about you. This is why we encourage reporting at all levels - family, communities and schools. We tried to reach as many places as possible to ensure that we sensitise people so they can break the silence. Your silence does not protect you.’ she said.However, a growing number of women are advocating for mental health awareness. Organizations, women’s groups, and online platforms are beginning to raise awareness about the importance of mental health among women and seeking professional help.Experts are calling for stronger government investment in mental health services, including affordable therapy and mental health education. They also urge the inclusion of ‘mental health support in community programs and religious teachings’ for women. The mental health crisis among Gambian women is an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. As women continue to speak out, there is hope that the stigma surrounding mental health struggles will diminish. For lasting change, the country must invest in mental health resources and support for women, ensuring that no one has to suffer in silence. And the biggest players in that quest are probably men, who should not only see themselves as partners of women, but as providers, protectors and big advocates of the total freedom of women. How will the country and generations be like if the key nation and generational builders (women) continue to go through psychological, mental and physical stress? Perhaps not in anyone's interest.

    SIS DENIES STAFF ROLE IN ILLEGAL VOTER REGISTRATION, DISMISSES GRTS JOURNALIST PROBE CLAIM 

    The State Intelligence Services (SIS) has noted with concern reports currently circulating on social media alleging that one of our staff members, Mr Abdoulie Bah, was involved in transporting non-Gambians to the Tanji registration centre and facilitating their registration during the ongoing supplementary voter registration exercise conducted by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).We wish to state unequivocally that the SIS staff member in question was not involved in the activities alleged in these social media reports. Following the circulation of these claims, the SIS conducted its own internal investigation and found the allegations to be unfounded. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr Abdoulie Bah is indeed a staff member of the SIS. However, his presence at the Tanji registration centre was solely to register his children, all of whom are Gambian citizens and meet the legal age requirement for acquiring a voter’s card. Similarly, the SIS wishes to clarify that it is not conducting any investigation into Mr Omar P. Jallow, said to be a GRTS journalist attached to the Office of the Vice President (OVP). Furthermore, contrary to allegations that the SIS received a call from Honourable Seedy Njie, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, we categorically state that no such call was received. Having clarified the allegations levelled against the SIS, the Service wishes to reassure Gambians and non-Gambians alike of our unwavering commitment to our national security and intelligence mandate. We remain clear-eyed and laser-focused on safeguarding our country so that democracy and constitutionality prevail and are preserved unhindered. The SIS will continue to build on the reforms and achievements of recent years, ensuring that our Service—your SIS—remains a pillar of trust, integrity, professionalism, and national pride among global intelligence services. Issued by: State Intelligence Services (SIS) Banjul, The Gambia 10th April 2026

BRITISH BARRISTER MARTIN HACKETT NAMED GAMBIA'S SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO TRY JAMMEH-ERA CRIMES

The Government of The Gambia has appointed Martin Hackett, a British barrister, as the Special Prosecutor for The Gambia. This appointment is part of the implementation process for the recommendations made by the Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission (TRRC).The announcement was made by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dawda Jallow, during a press briefing at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre earlier today.Martin Hackett, who has nearly 30 years of experience in international law and prosecution, was selected for this position from a pool of 13 candidates, which included one Gambian applicant.The TRRC heard testimonies from 393 witnesses, the majority of whom were direct victims or family members recounting stories of torture, murder, and other atrocities. Minister Jallow stated that the government has accepted all of the TRRC's prosecution recommendations outlined in its White Paper on the TRRC Report.[The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dawda Jallow]The Truth Commission recommended prosecuting a total of 69 individuals, including former President Yahya Jammeh, for various crimes such as torture, extrajudicial killings, and enforced disappearances.The Special Prosecutor will serve a four-year term, which may be renewed if necessary. The annual budget allocated for the office of the Special Prosecutor is estimated to be $2.5 million.The newly appointed Special Prosecutor is expected to begin duties this month, pending the establishment and appointment of his senior management team and operational structure.In a separate update, Minister Jallow informed the press about the 2025 performance report for the Directorate of Public Prosecution under the Ministry of Justice. This report indicates that 70 cases were concluded during the year, including 11 murder cases among other offences. Minister Jallow added that "out of those 70 cases, 46 reached their logical conclusion, resulting in verdicts being delivered." The remaining cases were either withdrawn or struck out. "The Department of Criminal Division secured 36 convictions out of the 46 cases. For those that reached a conviction or were appealed, we successfully defended the appeal," he said.This is regarded as a significant achievement for the Ministry, as it is the custodian of the country's justice delivery system.

    During the final leg of the stone-laying ceremonies for the proposed 207 km feeder road projects, which are jointly funded by the World Bank and the government, His Excellency Adama Barrow, laid the foundation stones for several feeder roads in Kombo North and South, as well as in Foni.One of the key projects is the Lamin Daranka road, which stretches 1.5 km and serves as a vital link to nearby women's vegetable gardens and rice fields. Although the road is relatively short, it plays a critical role in supporting the lives and livelihoods of thousands of women in this semi-urban area. Community members gathered in large numbers to welcome the President and the First Lady.Following the laying of the foundation stone for the contract awarded to Solo Dabo, with consultancy services provided by Pace and Ceeteq Joint Venture, the President travelled south to the coastal settlement of Gunjur. There, he marked the commencement of work on a 6.1 km road that will connect Gunjur with Berending.This important feeder road is nearly inaccessible during the rainy season, making it difficult for residents to reach markets in Brikama to sell their produce. Residents celebrated this project as a milestone in the history of Kombo South, as it provides essential connectivity to the main population centres.After leaving Kombo South, President Barrow and his entourage returned to Foni, where a day earlier, he had laid the foundation stones for several feeder road projects.His first stop was in Kanpanti, where he laid the foundation stone for a 4.3 km road from Kapa to Ballen. The entourage then proceeded to Kusamai, where another foundation stone laying ceremony took place for a 6 km road to Bajagarr. Similar ceremonies were also held in Sibanor for the construction of a 4.7 km road to Gifanga.In Bulajorr, President Barrow, assisted by the First Lady, Agriculture Minister Demba Sabally, and the village Alkalo, laid the foundation stone for a 6.3 km road to Katacorr. The final stone-laying ceremony took place in Tampoto for the construction of a 9 km road to Jakoi Sibrik, Somita/Batendin, and Jakoi Paima, bringing the total to 34.9 km of feeder roads.These roads are expected to improve rural connectivity, enhance access to markets, and promote socio-economic development. The projects are funded by the World Bank through its Gambia Inclusive and Resilient Value Chain Development Project, with additional funding from the government of The Gambia.

SENEGAL SHOW SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE TO MAINTAIN DOMINANCE OVER THE GAMBIA

Playing in front of home supporters, Senegal once again proved that they are unmatched against the Scorpions of The Gambia as they showed a superior performance to defeat the visitors 3-1 at Stade Abdoulaye Wadé in Diamniadio. Just as expected, the host first took the lead in the first half stoppages after the Scorpions initially appeared defiant. It was the unlikeliest of scorers, centre-back Abdoulaye Seck, Senegal's captain for the night, who glanced home a free header after a corner from El-Hadji Malick Diouf. Within a moment of his introduction after the break, the PSG starlet Ibrahim Mbaye doubled Senegal's lead after a clever pass from Ismaila Sarr in the 47th minute. At that moment, it looked more like a desperate moment for the Scorpions, but veteran captain Omar Colley restored a bit of confidence as he nodded home a Yankuba Minteh's corner from a tight angle to make it 2-1. But when coach Pape Thiaw reverted to his bench, that certainly means an increase in Senegal's hunger for victory and substitute Lamine Camara sealed a deserved 3-1 win for the holders of the AFCON crown.This might be a game against a side [The Gambia] ranked 116 as opposed to Senegal who are ranked 12, but Senegal perhaps knew that given the proximity, the Scorpions would give their best in the clash to try to put their dominance to an end, maybe the more reason they opted to play against the Scorpions. It could also be looked at as a way of presenting their AFCON trophy to their neighbours, The Gambia, a way of strengthening the relationship between the two countries. Either way, the bigger focus was on the 90 minutes for the night. Stade Abdoulaye Wadé wasn't full, but Senegal has a greater number of supporters on the stands, and a decent number of Scorpions supporters took the six-hour journey to cheer their players too. Despite the rift between them and the Confederation of African Football, who now declared Morocco as winners of the AFCON on "disciplinary" grounds after Senegal protested against a penalty decision in the final and left the pitch before coming back to continue playing and ended up winning 1-0 against Morocco. Nicholas Jackson started his football in the Gambian First Division League before moving to Senegal Senegal who took the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sports to maintain their status as champions, paraded their AFCON trophy before the Senegalese and Gambian supporters inside the stadium. As a way of showing respect for that achievement, the visiting supporters cheered them as they walked around with what will be their second AFCON title provided that their appeal is successful. And when the 33-year-old Mauritanian referee Abdul Aziz Bouh blew for the kick-off, the host quickly got out of the block and tried to press with high intensity. In the process, both Assan Diao and Abdoulaye Seck had their efforts ricochet off the goal post and Gambia's goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye was forced into some saves.On the other hand, the Scorpions, who were very disciplined, were focused on trying to establish themselves in the game. Aside from the obvious threat of Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, who was a cause for concern for Senegal's defence with his accelerating pace, nothing much was seen of the Scorpions' side. Their best chance in the first half fell to Abdoulie Manneh who hit straight at the goalkeeper after a brilliant loop pass from Abubakr Barry. But when the Scorpions supporters thought they had held the AFCON champions to a stalemate draw at halftime, their team's inability to defeat a set-piece was again exposed as Seck ran without any disturbance through Gambia's defence and beat Baboucarr Gaye with a header for the breakthrough goal. Straight after the restart, Senegal's coach Pape Thiaw, who started the game largely with second-choice players, introduced Dieng, Mbaye and Mendy to the game. Those substitutions paid off immediately as Ibrahim Mbaye left the Gambia's goalkeeper helpless with a one-touch finish after the mesmeric Ismaila Sarr squared off a pass to his path in the box. At that moment, hopes for a comeback started dashing. If it were a home game, some fans might start leaving for fear of more goals. But captain Omar Colley gave a moment to the Scorpions supporters to celebrate as he scored a header in the 51st minute to become the first Scorpions player to score a goal at the gigantic Abdoulaye Wadé stadium. Omar Colley is the most experienced player in this Gambian side. Even with the introduction of more players, coach Jonathan McKinstry and his players were not able to salvage a draw.Instead, it was the AS Monaco midfielder Lamin Camara who came on from the bench to seal a deserved 3-1 victory for the host as he rebounded home from close range after a save by Baboucarr Gaye in the stoppage time. This was the young lad's third goal in two games against the Gambia at this level. Aside from the overly ambitious supporters, not many were expecting a victory for the Scorpions against a nation they've been struggling to beat across all categories in football, including at the school level. The focus with this largely inexperienced squad could only be on preparing the team ahead of the next AFCON qualifiers.This score for a football writer, is not any embarrassing. The question should be, how is Senegal steadily becoming a powerhouse in African football, a development that is cutting across all cadres of their football. Does it have to do with good administration, heavy investment or their close ties with teams and academies in France? Perhaps we will be back here another time to look at things that The Gambia could learn from Senegal to be able to attain new heights in football. For the Lions of Teranga, this was another justification that they are no match for The Gambia on the pitch, having defeated them 3-0 on January 15 2024, in the Ivory Coast AFCON. The African champions are not taking any chances heading into the World Cup. They were on the back of a 2-0 victory over Peru, and now that they have added another morale booster ahead of the global showpiece.
