Snippets;
“We destroyed the crops because that land does not belong to them. It is ours,” Bakebba Jawneh of Kerewan, said, admitting that they vandalised the farmlands.
"In May this year, ahead of the start of the cropping season, a tribunal of seven district chiefs entered a judgement in favour of Kerewan, following a fight that broke out between the two farming communities over the said farmlands."
“The chiefs came and told us that the land belongs to Kerewan. They did not allow me to speak during the court. And I told them that I would not accept their ruling,” Alkali Jabbi told The Daily News.
“We told the people of Taibatou that if they were not satisfied with the decision taken by the chiefs, they should appeal at the higher courts,” Omar Khan said.
