BREAKING: Bullock Youths Tear Down Controversial New Gambia–Senegal Border Pillars

A fresh controversy has erupted in Bullock following the reported demolition of newly installed Gambia–Senegal boundary pillars by community youths. Sources in Bullock have confirmed to Bitilo that the youths destroyed the markers after accusing the authorities responsible for the border demarcation exercise of placing them inside territory traditionally belonging to their community—without consulting local residents. “They put the pillars encroaching into our community without consulting us, and the youths went out of anger and demolished everything,” a source told Bitilo. The latest development follows the earlier confrontation involving Senegalese troops and Gambian military installations near Bullock. In this special news program, Nfally Fadera traces the controversy from the original incident and examines the responses from Hamat Bah, the Lands Ministry, the Gambian military, journalist Kebba Ansu Manneh, and retired Captain Jobe. The reported claims and precise location of the demolished markers await independent confirmation from the Gambian and Senegalese authorities. Subscribe to Bitilo—Leading Today’s Conversation.
