Guinea-Bissau, Dias Calls on ECOWAS to Defend the People’s Vote

Presidential candidate Fernando Dias da Costa has urged ECOWAS leaders to demand the immediate release of Guinea-Bissau’s presidential election results, insisting the will of the people must be respected.

Dias says credible observers confirm he led the first round of the 23 November vote, but the process was abruptly halted after a military coup, just one day before results were due to be announced. Electoral officials were detained, and key materials seized, though experts say the results can still be recovered.

In an open letter, Dias accused the outgoing president and his allies in the military of blocking a peaceful transfer of power. He called on ECOWAS to help restore constitutional order, warning that Guinea-Bissau is facing a dangerous political and social crisis.

He thanked ECOWAS for its swift response, including suspending the country, and pledged to pursue national reconciliation, unity, and democratic governance if the results are declared.

Guinea-Bissau remains tense, with protests dispersed and opposition leaders detained, as citizens await decisive action from regional leaders.

Senegal Is Moving! Prices Drop Across the Country 🇸🇳🔥

While many nations are battling inflation and rising living costs, Senegal has taken a bold step forward. The government of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko has delivered major price reductions on essential goods, electricity, and fuel, bringing real relief to ordinary families.

In just 18 months, the new administration has introduced strong economic measures to fix the difficult situation they inherited. The price of imported rice has gone down from CFA 22,000 to CFA 15,500, and a 20-litre can of oil has dropped from CFA 19,000 to CFA 15,500.

Energy costs are also falling:
• Petrol: CFA 990 → CFA 920
• Diesel: CFA 755 → CFA 680
• Butane gas: Reduced across all bottle sizes

These cuts will make life easier for households, reduce transport costs, support small businesses, and help curb inflation nationwide.

But the work doesn’t end here, strict monitoring is needed to make sure every shop and distributor follows the new prices so that citizens feel the real benefits in their daily lives.

The government has also restored family grants, after a proper review, to better support the country’s most vulnerable households.

Senegal is showing that it is possible to govern differently, with integrity, transparency, and genuine care for the people. Many citizens say they finally feel prioritised and protected.

A new era is opening for Senegal, one of economic sovereignty, responsible leadership, and social justice.

Jamaican Pilot Wins £2.4M Jet on MrBeast Show – Set to Launch His Own Charter Airline

In one of YouTube’s wildest competitions yet, a 20-year-old Jamaican pilot has flown his way into global headlines, and into ownership of a £2.4 million private jet after outlasting 100 other pilots in a high-stakes challenge hosted by content creator MrBeast.

The show began with MrBeast purchasing a luxury jet and dividing the contestants into three groups. Each round pushed the pilots through mentally and physically demanding tasks designed to break concentration and test teamwork. Contestants dropped one after another, until only a few remained, and then the rules changed. No alliances, no grace, last person touching the jet takes it home.

When the dust settled, the last hand on the aircraft belonged to Capt. Treezy, a young pilot from Jamaica whose determination spoke louder than the competition. He entered the challenge with a vision, not just for glory, but for opportunity. His dream? To build his own charter airline.

Now with a multimillion-pound jet in his possession, that dream is no longer distant, it’s preparing for takeoff.

The Gambia Times joins the Caribbean and global aviation enthusiasts in celebrating this remarkable achievement. May Capt. Treezy’s win inspire young people across Africa and the diaspora to dream boldly, work relentlessly, and seize their moment when it arrives.

🔴 Military Leadership Reshapes Political Landscape in Guinea-Bissau

The political scene in Guinea-Bissau has entered a new phase as the military leadership introduced a Transitional Political Charter, a document designed to guide the country through its current political uncertainty while placing full authority in the hands of the armed forces.

The charter, 11 pages in total and released shortly after the coup, effectively positions the High Military Command as the ultimate decision-making body, giving it sweeping political oversight. One of its most notable provisions is the ban on both the transitional president and the transitional prime minister from participating in the elections expected at the end of the transition period.

With this move, the junta appears intent on preventing transitional leaders from converting their temporary authority into electoral advantage. While some view this as a safeguard against power consolidation, others see it as an indication of how tightly the military intends to control the transition process.

As Guinea-Bissau moves forward under this new framework, the region and international community are watching closely. Will this charter pave the way for stability and a credible return to civilian rule, or deepen concerns over democratic setbacks? Time will tell.

Fatu Camara did not hold back. She took aim at President Adama Barrow, his administration, and the circle of people around him, accusing them of presiding over corruption at a level The Gambia has never seen.

According to her, those in power today are not serving the nation, but helping themselves to wealth that does not belong to them. And when the dust settles, she believes future commissions will be brutal for Barrow and his inner circle, because history has a way of catching up.

If what she says is true, then the future could be very uncomfortable for many currently enjoying power.

The question now is, How long will the country tolerate leaders who treat the state as personal property?
