Gambia: Remembering Solo Sandeng

On April 14, Gambians commemorated opposition activist Ebrima Solo Sandeng who died in state custody following his arrest by state operatives during a protest in 2016. Sandeng’s death is generally seen in Gambia as the trigger of the revolution that eventually toppled former president Yahya Jammeh.
This year’s commemoration was led by UDP in the form of a procession and a “memorial lecture” on how Gambia could strengthen its young democracy that Sandeng and others died for.
