A beacon of hope for The Gambia: human rights lawyer Essa Faal and his vision for the country

The Gambia, a small country in West Africa with great potential, could be on the brink of a historic turning point. Essa Faal, a renowned human rights lawyer and internationally recognised jurist, has decided to stand as a presidential candidate. His goal: to fundamentally reform The Gambia and create a better future for the population.

A symbol of a better future of all Gambians

Essa Mbye Faal is a symbol of hope for many Gambians. As the leading lawyer of the Gambian Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC), he has made a decisive contribution to dealing with the crimes of the past in recent years. His commitment to justice, transparency and human rights has earned him national and international respect. The experienced intermatonal lawyer wants to do more than just come to terms with the past. He has an ambitious vision for The Gambia, which he wants to drive forward with a clear agenda..

Environmentally friendly development and reforestation

Essa Faal is committed to transforming The Gambia into an environmentally friendly nation. He wants to launch large-scale reforestation programmes and thus not only promote climate protection, but also improve the quality of life of the population. More trees mean cleaner air, better protection against soil erosion and new habitats for animals.

Strengthening the tourism industry

Look at the beach (image above, beach of Brufut). The country have almost 90km Atlantic coast and almost 4000h sunshine per year. Isn’t it a perfect tourism destination? The Gambia, known as the ‘Smiling Coast of Africa’, has great potential to become a world-class tourist destination. Faal plans to invest in tourism infrastructure, promote sustainable tourism and at the same time emphasise the country’s cultural diversity. The aim is to attract more international visitors and thus strengthen the country’s economic base.

Promoting local production

A central component of his vision is to support local agriculture and production. Faal wants to make The Gambia less dependent on imports by promoting the production of food and consumer goods. This should not only improve the economic situation, but also create jobs and ensure a more stable supply.

Job creation and fairer incomes

Essa Faal has recognised that the high unemployment rate is a key problem in The Gambia. With targeted investments in various sectors of the economy, he plans to create thousands of jobs and improve people’s income situation. His aim is to give all Gambians the opportunity to live in dignity.

Free education for children

Education is the key to the future, and Essa Faal wants to ensure that every Gambian child has access to high-quality, free education. He sees education as a key component in combating poverty and creating an informed, capable population that can shape the country’s future.

Educated and with very good international network

Essa Faal stands for a new generation of leaders in Africa who not only have visions, but also want to realise them with competence and integrity. His candidature as president gives the people of The Gambia hope for a change towards a fairer, more sustainable and prosperous country. The challenges are undoubtedly great, but with Faal, The Gambia could take a decisive step towards a better future. It is to be hoped that the Gambian people will trust him to realise his ambitious plans.

Why Gambians should elect Mr. Essa Faal as next president

Essa Faals today’s final statement:

I want to fight corruption, poor education and poverty in The Gambia. The future of our people must be better!
