Human rights activist Essa Faal
… is a reason for more and more Gambians to believe in the future of Africa’s smallest country. Essa Mbye Faal is a symbol of hope for many Gambians. As chief lawyer of the Gambian Truth, Reconciliation and Reparation Commission (TRRC), he has made a decisive contribution in recent years to dealing with the crimes of the past. His commitment to justice, transparency and human rights has earned him national and international respect. In addition, the lawyer, who operates worldwide and was born in Gambia, has very good international networks. But Essa Faal wants to do more than just deal with the past. He has an ambitious vision for Gambia, which he wants to push forward with a clear agenda:
Environmentally friendly development and reforestation
The likeable Essa Faal is committed to turning Gambia into an environmentally friendly nation. He wants to start large-scale reforestation programs and thereby not only promote climate protection, but also improve the quality of life of the population. More trees mean clean air, better protection against soil erosion and new habitats for animals. And that means: more tourists will visit the country.
Strengthening the tourism industry
Gambia, known as the “Smiling Coast of Africa,” has great potential to become a world-class tourist destination. Lawyer Essa Mbye Faal plans to invest in tourism infrastructure, promote sustainable tourism while highlighting the country’s cultural diversity. The aim is to attract more international visitors and thus strengthen the country’s economic base.
Promotion of local production
A central part of his vision is supporting local agriculture and production. Faal wants to make 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
Lawyer Essa Faal has recognized that the high unemployment rate is a central problem in Gambia. With targeted investments in various sectors of the economy, he plans to create thousands of jobs and improve people’s income situation. His goal is to give all Gambians the opportunity to live in dignity.
Free Education for Youth
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. Essa Faal (pictured right), as a lawyer, has great empathy for the needs of the country’s children and young people.
With great ambition for their own country
Essa Faal represents a new generation of leaders in Africa who not only have visions but also want to implement them with competence and integrity. His candidacy for president gives the people of Gambia hope for change towards a fairer, more sustainable and prosperous country.
The future of Gambia depends on the next president
Attorney Essa Mbye Faal;
Dear Gambians, let us work together on a new and better Gambia that we can all be proud of. Let us fight corruption, reduce crime and, above all, protect our beautiful nature! We must have the country back on its feet by 2030. All together, all together!
