Gambian police arrested two journalists and dozens of protesters demanding an accounting of a former dictator's sold-off assets.

On May 8, 2025, police in Banjul arrested at least 27 protesters and two journalists at a demonstration by the civic group Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA), which accused the government of selling assets seized from former dictator Yahya Jammeh at below-market prices and demanded the buyers' names. Police had denied GALA a protest permit.
