The Gambian man who took on a tyrant and made history: Ebrima Solo Sandeng, killed by Gambian agents nearly seven years ago, is finally honoured as a hero.
bbc.com/news/world-africa-64262310
Quick Glance: The Gambian Man Who Defied a Tyrant and Changed History
- Ebrima Solo Sandeng defied the traditional image of an African freedom fighter.
- Nearly seven years after his murder, he was honored with a state funeral this week.
- It could be argued that his death and the subsequent march were the pivotal events that ultimately led to Mr. Jammeh losing the presidential election eight months later.
- For those seeking international attention for Sandeng's case, he was hailed as The Gambia's Steve Biko, referencing the renowned anti-apartheid activist of South Africa who died in detention in 1977.
