Gambia: journalist who exposed human rights abuses dies

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Gambians are mourning the death one of the country’s best-known journalists. For more than 20 years, Pa Nderry Mbai played a key role exposing human rights abuses and other injustices during former President Yahya Jammeh's time in office. Because Pa Nderry Mbai helped expose the frequent killings, disappearances and torture in The Gambia, Mr Jammeh put the journalist high on his long list of enemies. Gambia's Information Minister Ebrima Sillah worked with him for many years. He's been sharing his sorrow with Bola Mosuro. (Photo: Pa Nderry Mbai. Credit: Pa Nderry Mbai)
