A federal court in Denver has found a former member of Gambia's military guilty of torturing five people accused of involvement in a failed coup against the West African country in 2006. This constitutes a rare prosecution in the United States for torture committed abroad. Also, the UK's Supreme Court passed a ruling on the meaning of the word "woman" as used in the country's Equality Act from 2010. In a unanimous decision, the court said that "woman" refers to people assigned the female gender at birth, and does not extend to transgender women. Critics of the decision say it marks a "huge blow" to the rights of trans people across the country. Also, more than 1,000 Israeli spies and soldiers, past and present, have petitioned their government to cease military actions in Gaza. And, Sweden's annual tradition of watching the migration of moose on TV.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Lawfare Tactics: The discussion highlights the use of nationwide injunctions by left-wing activist judges to block President Trump's agenda. This tactic is described as unprecedented and a significant shift from previous administrations. Statistics: The document provides statistics showing the dramatic increase in nationwide injunctions during Trump's presidency compared to previous administrations. For example, there were 37 nationwide injunctions in the first two months of Trump's presidency, compared to 32 during the entire terms of Bush, Obama, and Biden combined. Historical Context: It explains the historical context of injunctions, noting that such widespread use is a recent development and a departure from traditional legal practices. Pro-Hamas Radical's Visa Revocation Case of Mommodo Tal: The document discusses the case of Mommodo Tal, a British and Gambian dual national studying at Cornell University on an F-1 student visa. Tal's visa was revoked due to his anti-American and anti-Israel statements and actions. Statements and Actions: Tal is quoted making several inflammatory statements, including celebrating the October 7th attacks by Hamas and calling for armed resistance. His social media posts express hatred towards the U.S. and support for anti-Israel sentiments. Legal and Political Reactions: The document details the legal actions taken against Tal, including his lawsuit to block deportation. It also mentions protests by left-wing activists supporting Tal and criticizes Democrats for not condemning his actions. Broader Themes Weaponization of Legal System: The podcast argues that Democrats are using the legal system to subvert democracy by targeting Trump through lawfare. Judicial Reforms: There is a discussion on potential judicial reforms to address the issue of nationwide injunctions, including the possibility of returning to a system with three-judge district courts for constitutional challenges. Free Speech and Anti-Semitism: The document touches on issues of free speech, particularly in the context of anti-Semitic actions on college campuses, and criticizes Democrats for their perceived double standards.

"Anything that shows solidarity of Palestine is being mischaracterized quite erroneously as antisemitism. That's the way in which they are trying to get us to stop speaking about Palestine," says Momodou Taal, a Cornell University graduate student and activist now facing deportation after challenging the Trump administration in court.The risks of political speech have escalated dramatically for international students like Taal. He spoke to The Intercept Briefing yesterday, underscoring the chilling reality he and his peers now face. “It's not just that you might get kicked out of school or suspended,” says Taal, “but you are threatened with deportation and ICE custody now. That's what's at stake here." Late last week, federal officials sent Taal's attorney a midnight email demanding he appear before Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday. The email provided no grounds for the request. This typically marks the beginnings of removal proceedings against an individual in the U.S. Only afterward, over the weekend, did the Department of Justice claim Taal's student visa had been revoked on March 14th by the State Department due to "disruptive protests" and "creating a hostile environment for Jewish students." The timing is telling—just days after Taal, a dual Gambian and British citizen, joined other Cornell plaintiffs in a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of targeting international students for supporting Palestinian rights. In their complaint the plaintiffs state “The First Amendment protects ‘people' and not citizens alone. This includes non-citizens living in the U.S.” Taal had participated in pro-Palestine protests at Cornell. His legal team argues the order to appear before ICE demonstrates their central claim that deportation is being weaponized "in retribution" for lawful political speech.Despite the pressure, Taal sees the government's actions as evidence of weakness, not strength. "You don't repress to this level when you're in a position of strength. When you have to quell speech, it means that you are realizing that the outside world or public opinion is swaying in one direction. So I think now would not be the time to be afraid. I know it's a very frightening moment, but for me, this is the time to double down."As Tuesday approaches, Taal remains resolute about the potential consequences. "If I have to leave the country, it would be back to the UK. I know the weather's terrible and your listeners probably don't like beans and toast either, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world going back to the UK. I think about what the Palestinians have endured for 76 years and more—what I'm going through pales in comparison."Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Foreign fleets off the Gambia's shore are straining local fish stocks by “coming in at night and fishing illegally,” Sanyang fisher Alagie Gasama says. And the lack of enforcement, or even political will, by the government leaves these fishing communities to struggle on their own. On this episode of The Catch, host Ruxandra Guidi continues her journey along the Gambian coast by hearing directly from the fishers, processors, and local officials navigating these changes in their fish stocks.

*Israel strikes several locations along Syrian-Lebanese border The Israeli army has said it carried out air strikes on several locations along the Syria-Lebanon border, alleging the sites were being used for weapons transfers to Hezbollah. The Israeli military further claimed that such smuggling efforts "are a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon." This marks the second time in less than 48 hours that Israel has announced air strikes in the border region. *Trump says US close to minerals deal with Ukraine, wants aid 'money back' President Donald Trump said the United States is close to an agreement with Ukraine on sharing revenue from Ukrainian minerals as part of efforts to end the Ukraine war, saying his intent is to recover the aid Washington has provided. "Europe has given $100 billion. The United States has given $350 billion because we had a stupid, incompetent president and administration," he told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday. The president argued that Washington should not bear the burden alone. *DRC's Tshisekedi plans unity government in response to rebels' offensive Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi will launch a unity government, his spokesperson has said, as he faces domestic pressure over his handling of an offensive by M23 rebels in eastern provinces. Since the start of the year, DRC has faced back-to-back losses in North and South Kivu provinces, fuelling criticism of the authorities' military strategy. *Israel may deploy tanks in northern West Bank for 1st time since 2002 The Israeli army may deploy tanks to the northern occupied West Bank for the first time in 23 years, a media outlet has reported. According to Channel 14, citing anonymous sources, the political leadership is "pressuring for the inclusion of tanks” in the ongoing military raids in the northern occupied West Bank. The tanks "could soon participate" in the raids, the sources further indicated. It added that the decision came "after pressure from the political leadership." *Gambian information minister praises strong bilateral ties with Türkiye Gambian Information, Media, and Broadcasting Services Minister Ismaila Ceesay stated that Türkiye has very strong bilateral relations with Gambia. It is important for Gambians to know their friends and to fully understand Turkish culture, traditions, geography, and history, he stated. Ceesay also suggested signing a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in capacity building, experience sharing, and news exchange between the two countries.

Small pelagic fish off the West African coast are being scooped up in large numbers and ground into a product called fishmeal. This fishmeal is then used to support animal production and aquafarms around the world. How is this industry impacting local fishers? And what does this mean for the global supply chain? Host Ruxandra Guidi partners with Gambian reporter Mustapha Manneh to look at fishmeal production in both the Gambia and Senegal for Season 5 of The Catch. Other voices in this episode include Sally Yozell, Senior Fellow and Director of the Environmental Security program at the Stimson Center and Dr. Ensa Touray, a historian at the University of The Gambia.

“He is the reason my father sacrificed everything we had - just for him to throw it all away and come back!” Gambian migrants frequently risk their lives to reach Europe in hopes of a better life, only to be sent back home. These returnees don't just face the disappointment of a failed journey - they often return to a cold reception from families and communities. Families often sell their personal belongings, land and even livestock, sacrificing everything to fund these dangerous journeys. BBC Africa Daily's Muthoni Muchiri speaks to Gambian filmmaker Cherno Jagne, whose short film ‘The Backway' dives into this emotional and often overlooked side of migration.
