Abstract

B This first rally in decades offers hope for democracy. b Hundreds of Gambians marched through the capital Banjul on March 10th in what was believed to be the first opposition protest permitted in the former dictatorship for nearly three decades. The petition also highlighted the high cost of living and a swathe of financial scandals including Covid-19 funding and a Gambia Ports Authority embezzlement scandal. In a statement, the UDP Youth Wing described the police decision to grant the march as a "positive development" that it hoped would mark "a turning point in the political landscape".
