Momodou Sabally: The Man, His Ideas & His Political Evolution

This conversation with Momodou Sabally traces one of the most complex and consequential journeys in contemporary Gambian public life — from his intellectual and spiritual formation, to his rise through the civil service, his years under Jammeh, his detention, his turn to opposition politics, his fierce criticism of President Barrow, and his eventual return to the center of power as Special Adviser and National Youth President for the National People's Party. Across 120 minutes, we explore the ideas that shaped him, the controversies that follow him, the consistency he claims, the contradictions he confronts, and the lessons he has drawn from a life lived at the intersection of power, faith, rhetoric, and responsibility.
