Gambia: Farato Land Dispute

4 April 2008


In a letter dated 5th March 2008 sent to the Daily Observer, the Office of the President, the Secretary of State for Local Government and Lands, Governor of Western Region, Inspector General of Police and the Director of Physical Planning, the Bojang Kunda family of Farato Sotokoi - Daru complained bitterly about encroachment on their traditional land.

Since the matter is in the High Court we are not able to go into the details of their complaint but we highlight their concerns here in the hope that people will keep a cool head and let the courts deal with the matter. We do not wish to see a repeat of what happened at Babylon village last week.
