By Sheriff Saidykhan Kemo Conteh, President of the University of the Gambia student’s union has decried over the growing inadequate facilities at the University. He made these remarks in an interview with The Outpost Media on Monday June 19, 2023. Limited space to accommodate student's he said, has been one of the main challenges facing student's at the University. “There are limited space to accommodate the overwhelming number of student's. Many of our classes are over-crowded, not conducive and not stimulating for learning at all. It is suicidal and fatal to squeeze hundreds of student's in classes that are meant to accommodate only fifty student's. The focus of the University management is not to commensurate or proportionate intakes with the existing space, but enrolling more than the existing space can accommodate, which is as a results of their thirst for more money from tuition fees, without respecting the rights of student...

By Sheriff Saidykhan Lare Sisay, retired Senior Manager at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and a leading voice of the main opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), has criticised President Adama Barrow for his continues weaponisation of the state institutions against the opposition voices in the country. He made these remarks on Tuesday 13, June 2023 at the West Coast Radio popular Coffee Time show with Peters Gomez.

He blamed the Gambia government for signing the mass deportation agreement with the European Union.

“This deportations are happening because of the so-called agreement signed between the European Union and the Gambia government. EU is saying they are relying on the agreement that was signed between the Gambia government and EU in 2018 to deport Gambians in large numbers.

Many Gambians are afraid, leaving their houses. Many are picked from their work places and schools. So the whole situation is frustrating. Many are worried, many are trying to hide.
So the situation is completely rough for Gambians. We called the Gambia government to come to negotiation with the EU and review the so-called agreement they have signed with the EU,” he concluded.

The reverse coin of their struggle, rights holders of the feminism movement push for bitter resistance towards addressing their needs and aspirations. During the traditional period, it was the duty of the man to carry out tasks outside the home, while women carried out domesticity within the home. With the advent of the industrial period, new rules were created intended to break the natural order. New jobs came into existence that was plausibly suited for women. There is numerous proliferation of women camps in the country, demanding equal footing with men. The first noteworthy book to demand equal rights for women was published in London in 1792. Authored by Mary Wollstonecraft, entitled, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.” The book epitomizes the need for equal terms with men. English Orientalist, Edward William Lane, published a book in London in...
