Mining Crackdown: Communities in Prestea are celebrating after SWED Mining chased out Chinese firm Longshine from its concession, saying the May 6 operation followed years of alleged illegal work, labour abuses, and environmental damage—reportedly ending with the arrest of 22+ Chinese nationals. Human Rights & Courts: In Banjul, the Justice Minister told the African Commission that The Gambia is making progress on rights protections, while the Judiciary pushes mediation training to cut delays and expand access to justice. Civic Space Under Pressure: The GALA anniversary crackdown is still reverberating—NHRC raised grave concerns over detention conditions and due process, and multiple groups are calling for detainees’ release. Justice System Moves: Police dragged “Kexx” Sanneh before the Children’s Court over an alleged sexual offence involving a minor; the case was adjourned to June 4. Culture & Media: KBC producer Benard Timbe won an AU broadcasting award for a tsunami resilience documentary, and GTHI launched a Chinese language training programme for its first cohort.
