With 2 days to go gambias jameh reportedly expels foreign journalists
You're referring to the recent development in The Gambia!
Yes, it's been reported that the Gambian government, led by President Adama Barrow, has expelled several foreign journalists just two days before the country's presidential election. The journalists, who were working for international news organizations, were reportedly given 48 hours to leave the country.
The expulsions have been widely condemned by press freedom organizations and human rights groups, who see it as an attempt to silence independent reporting and restrict access to information ahead of the election.
The Gambia has a history of restricting press freedom, and this latest move is seen as a worrying sign for the country's democratic credentials. The election is expected to be a closely contested affair, with several candidates vying for the presidency.
It's worth noting that the Gambian government has been accused of using various tactics to restrict media freedom, including harassment, intimidation, and arrest of journalists. The country's media landscape is dominated by state-owned outlets, which often prioritize government propaganda over independent reporting.
The international community, including the African Union and the European Union, has called on the Gambian government to respect press freedom and ensure a peaceful and transparent election process.
Let's hope that the Gambian government will reconsider its decision and allow foreign journalists to continue reporting on the election and the country's political developments.
