@kemo_bojang This is more than a constitutional coup it amount to betrayal to all Senegalese. It is also an indictment on @ecowas_cedeao. The time have come for ecowas to prove that all countries in the region are equal. 🇸🇳 should be suspended immediately.

What is happening in Senegal is a constitutional coup! as Macky Sall postpones the presidential election, aiming to eliminate the opposition! Senegal must resist!

@kemo_bojang Improve efficiency and having a dry port in Basse will attract all the Malian bound products. and this extent to the other countries

The impact of leaving ECOWAS has great socioeconomic implications. Trade relations, regional stability, and collaborative trans-border development will become very difficult. I hope these states have carefully considered both short-term disruptions and long-term consequences.

@kemo_bojang @JemiamaTDassen I totally agree bro. But I also think this is not a bad news to The Gambia. All the three countries are landlocked and they will need a partner at the coast. Looking at the location of the country this will be an economic opportunity. All what we need is to act immediately.

@JemiamaTDassen I think we are being emotional here, the impact of leaving a block in governance is beyond theory, it poses real challenges in economic and social bearings. You should speak to Malians and Guineas on how the earlier sanctions affected them. It is still affecting their trade.

Congratulations @OmarSuso8 for your tireless efforts and determination in providing effective and efficient legal representation to our client. Indeed @national_gambia have proven it's determination to provide quality legal representation at no cost.

The unnecessary bureaucratic procedures in endorsing the medical report resulted to the continuous detention of our client who was mentally unstable at the time of the offence.

Following a medical examination as per the requirement of the law, it was recommended that our client was stable and should be discharged to join the family in 2022. Unfortunately, due to bureaucratic procedures it took the relevant authority 5 months to endorse the report.

Having spent 6 years in prison on a charge of murder, NALA is pleased to secure the release of a woman (our client) in her late 40s from Mile II Central Prison. This came due to a judgment delivered sometime in 2022 wherein a judge gave a special verdict (guilty but insane).

We are grateful to Counsel Ade for securing the acquittal and the entire team of our committed Public Defenders. @ade_adendasi @akceesay @OmarSuso8 @tamsir_jallow

As we strive to achieve the best legal outcomes for our clients, we wish to state that a High Court Judge delivered a judgment on the 14th March, 2023, wherein one of our clients was acquitted and discharged of murder. The Judge held that our client acted in self-defence.

We are grateful to Mr Bekai Saidy and Tamsir B Jallow for a brilliant legal representation to provided to the client.

It further strengthens our quest for adherence to due process in ensuring that the fundamental rights to fair hearing throughout the criminal justice process are always observed. We would, therefore, like to seize this opportunity to thank our team of dedicated Public Defenders.

The judgment has renewed our commitment to provide effective and efficient legal representation to individuals going through the criminal justice process.

In a landmark judgment delivered on the 9th March, 2023, a High Court Judge acquitted and discharged our client on all 8 count charges of Sexual Offences after 4 years of trial.

Take up that brief for the unpopular client. That is how most distinguished lawyers made their bones. In the meantime, be slow to belittle those doing it. Everyone is entitled to legal representation, Lucifer included. This legal sermon is limited to lawyers and law students.

*Please note, out of the 88 cases at the Children’s Court 41 were concluded.

Our team of indefatigable lawyers represented a total of 88 cases at the Children’s Court out of which 14 was concluded. At the Superior Courts, a total of 134 cases were handled of which 19 was concluded resulting to 14 acquittals.

We would, therefore, seize this opportunity to extend our immeasurable gratitude to the above partners for their continuous support in access to justice. We wish you all a happy and a prosperous New Year.

In additional to legal representations, NALA has implemented the School Mobile Legal Aid Clinic, radio and tv talk-shows on laws governing juvenile justice system and other legal matters through the support of @UNDP_TheGambia , @UNICEFGambia , @UNPeacebuilding

As we ushered into 2023, our quest to continue providing access to justice has been renewed. Indeed, 2022 was an eventful year in the execution of our mandate through the provision of legal representations and legal awareness outreach programs.

Strengthening the Mobile Legal Aid Clinics (MLACs) & Prison Legal Aid Desks (PLADs) to increase access to justice for all, especially the vulnerable, through continuous partnership between The Govt. 🇬🇲 and @UNDP_TheGambia Thanks to @UNPeacebuilding #JusticeForAll
