Gambia: Press Statement From DUGA

press release

We watched with great concern the recent political violence between rival political factions in Busumbala. Violence between political rivals is unacceptable, undemocratic and a threat to the fragile security in our new found dispensation.

We hope the Barrow Government will take all measures to secure the area and the country as a whole and that all perpetrators of political violence be dealt with according to the law. In addition, we call on our leaders and authorities to publicly condemn this violence, and perform a comprehensive security and intelligence review that will mitigate such incidents from reoccurring at the same time, preserve the democratic rights of Gambians. The concerns of the citizens especially the vulnerable youth population must be heard and addressed.
