I almost broke-down in tears. May Solo's soul continue to rest in perfect peace. What a hero. Muhammad and the rest of the family take heart.
My tears rolling for Muhammad's family.
@@cecilianekaro6303 if nothing else, Solo’s family should be given enough $ to complete the compound that Solo started. This is a tearjerker!!!!!

If you like our documentaries, don't forget to share with a friend!
i will when you put subtitles
I hope everything u guys are saying about jammeh is true.. Not politics.. political strategies! Because I know this country more than u can imagine. This country has few poisonous people who're so disparity of power.
fuck u
GREATEST .
BBC News Africa i think you need to visit kenya
Wow very well spoken people. Sending love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Wee need such revolution in kenya 🇰🇪
The Gambians accent and command of the English language. Shakespeare must be Gambian.
This shows should be shown in all African countries..we need to wake up and stand up against this cruel people.
Vida R I am In Australia, and Australian born and bred and I am watching this video so it is viewed world wide and the people are being heard, i already knew of the problems in Gambia and no freedom of speech so I am happy to see a change 😊✌🏾️
Africa needs a revolution
Vida R; correct; with the TRRC going on right now in Gambia, Jammeh’s cruelty is beyond belief.
no need to show all Africa
This is all AFRICA
TRIBAL FUSION OF DUST TO DUST
EVANGELICALS WILL NOT SAVE YOU
THE POOR HAVE POOR MIND.
DIVERSIFICATION IS NOT A WORD..WITH SO MUCH RAYS..YOU GET DARKER,BUT NOT brighter..
jorge alberto ospna right. It starts with the youth to make change. Just like in Iran. The older people are trying to stop the youth from change.
Let all Gambians unite and move on, let them focus on how to build their future, likes to the heroes like Solo and may God protect his family, very strong people, from Kenya 🇰🇪
I hope we don’t end up like this
Thanks you 🙏🏿
Respect to the late Solo Sandeng. May he rest in eternal love. Thank you for leaving a legacy and teaching us how to fight for proper leadership. May God bless the people of Gambia. Much love and respect from Kenya.🇰🇪🇰🇪

Hows Mr.Modoveni?????!!!!
My heart goes out to you my beautiful African brothers and sisters, we will see the Africa we deserve. We will celebrate the ones that struggled before us by laying the path for those that follow past us, love from a fellow African, Ugandan
Greed and power are two DEADLY NEEDS OF MAN!!!! Excellent documentary. Thank you.
True talk sister. Where are you from?
RIP Solo with love from Nigeria.
I wish peace and progress the people of gambia the people of gambia i'm greeting from somalia
Greetings from The Netherlands to all Gambian people.
I have a lot of respect for Solo's son.
Me too🙏🏾 🙏🏾🤣
Another note he's so smart as well🙌🏾
I'm in tears listening to Solo's son, and knowing what his father indured. I pray you for healingfor him. Its not a good feeling losing someone you know lives you so much, and you love.. The activists should have been called into the government to carry out some roles too.
So much love and respect for my fellow, Africans, (Gambians).
Same here iam crying rn
Gambians are very well spoken. love from Kenya !
are breeder
breeders the issue why Africa cant excel
but you peddling LINGUISTIC frommage
@SUGAR DOLLAR DADDY BBC... i meant they know how to express themselves regardless of language used.
SUGAR DOLLAR DADDY BBC we have to speak English during a documentary you doughnut.
So are Kenyans also Eloquent and learned. Much love to Kenya from The Gambia. One Africa, one people.

My second home.... God bless the smiling coast of Africa #banjul#tallindin#bakou#lamin
Africa is ours !!lets unite to build a continent that is void of dictators oppression and poverty!!blessings to the entire Gambia nation and Africa at large ..love from Nigeria
Absolutely True!
The guy is already saying that 3 years is not feasible.... Another dictator in the making.
JOEL LONTSI that’s not what he said on election night! Politics is a dirty game
I was sad when he said that.
If you really know the abyss of problems in Africa and the political barriers a president faces, forget my brother, 3 years is certainly not enough. Let the man make his mark, after all the next elected leader may not fair so well.
But at least the guy is trying unlike Jammeh. Give him another chance if he fails then let him go
I love jammeh such a great man
We are so wicked/cruel towards our own brothers/sisters, yet we are afraid of the American/European/Chinese.
Y4
Facts
INDEED,
Isn't that something 😒🤔🥺" You Said A Mouthful 😕🥺
I wish we had people with the strength and conviction to bring about change in the states like Gambians did. so many Americans are all talk and no action.
thank you for this documentary! may solo rest peacefully.
Love and respect to Gambian brothers and sisters from Kenya 🇰🇪❤🇬🇲
I don't understand why some African leaders have saviour complex.
"We have a job to do." But I am the only man who can do it. SMH.
They are crazy and stupid
Aaaah the lady that narrates these BBC Africa Eye investigative documentaries. These days her voice is like music to my ears. Much love from Uganda.
Kay Eff Kay it sounds like Kim Chakanetsa, who does BBC’s The Conversation podcast. It only occurred to me cos I’m used to listening to the podcast and as soon as I heard the voice I made the connection 😊
this country has eloquent english speakers
They do speak English very well
Very... Im soo proud of them.... Gambia is home
Yes! I'm very impressed.
So by speaking a good English sounds as an achievement for them. Or are you trying to saying that English is superior than their own African languages.!!
@@mwalilitv Actually its their natural accent that makes their great command of English sound so pleasant, sometimes better than a native English speaker!

BBC does it again. This is incredible. Nice documentary.
We try to never disappoint! Thanks for tuning in!
@@BBCAfrica only propaganda blablabla

@@ousmanvancamara5860 how is this propaganda? 🤦♂️
Fake news
Oh Allah! Bless Gambia with righteous leader who fears You, and have mercy and genuine love towards the people more than he cares for the fattening of his pocket.. and Oh Allah bless him (The Righteous leader) with wisdom and insight.. Ameen!
Gambians Speak Such Well ENGLISH
Many thanks!
But is fully bordered by Senegal which is a french speaking country !!!
@@Alex-yr8wt ..... what was your point LMFAO

Solo’s son is very brave. May God help you and your family go through this pain
Great documentary. Very informative. I also love Gambian accent. Very beautiful
Nice documentary...love to all Gambian people..and May Allah give you Sabr Muhammad and Solo family...they Are in a better place Inshallah.
What a Man Mr.Solo was may he rest in God’s Grace! Blessings to his family ❤️ I pray for a better Africa! I hope barrow does good by his people
KILLA ACE TO THE WORLD!
This shows how powerful people are together. I love the Gambian people, peaceful and loving only asking for what every human deserve - Better living conditions
The son is so strong 😞
Well spoken too🙌🏾
I love these 🇬🇲 guys. Africa be blessed.
Am feeling very insightful and knowledge able after watching 3 African struggle for
Political freedom stories on BBC and also subscribed today
What a sad story 😓😓one love🇬🇲 Gambia 🧕peace and unity....
This was so powerful and inspiring we await a similar event here in South africa, The ANC has ruled for over 27 years abused its power and neglected its people and the people now are fed up want to put another party in power. This years elections will be a test of our unity as a country.
Y’all ain’t ready. You rather fight other black people.
That's African game, And Democracy is a nightmare to some presidents.
Thank you for the story
Solo Sandengs son is so eloquent and smart...so sorry for your loss! Your dad is smiling from heaven..he played a huge part in our freedom...
"Miss Universe is not the most beautiful woman in the world, Miss Universe is the woman who decides to put her face out there and won a contest"
Well said.
That's a profound proverb. We fear too much and allow idiots to hold unto power unabated.
What does that proverb mean? Can someone explain please?
Brilliant documentary! 😊🔥🙌🏾💯
Rest in power Solo Sandeng & all victims of evil the Jammeh regime. Jammeh MUST be brought back to Banjul & be CHARGED for crimes against humanity
That Young Man Is Not Only Well Spoken, He Has An Erudite Mind And Knowledge Of Government/Governance. He Should Look Into Running For Office To Carry His Assassinated Fathers Torch, Along With The Rapper.
I See A Good Future For Gambia.
Muhammed keep the legacy of your Father and stand for what he does justice and freedom for our people. May Allah bless and protect your family. For the Gambia our homeland.. 🇬🇲❤️
The people of Gambia must NEVER repeat the mistakes made with Jammeh! Never!
This shows that power belongs to the people. Together we can be an unstoppable force. #Nigeria 🇳🇬
Only love and unity will be our salvation
Wow Gambia has definitely been through alot 😓 I understand better now thanks 🙏🏿
What did you understand?
Great documentary, cheers from Wisconsin Usa!
Fight fight fight for freedom and justice!
Alhoumdulilah for Gambia may Allah bless you Ameen
Solo’s son is a man, respect
WOW....So Proud of Gambia!!
This has given me hope for my Country Zambia, the current president is doing all he can to stay in power next year and we the people have had enough. This has made me cry and smile all at the same time. God bless all you fighters
His nolonger in power now we have the best president ever
Well documented,wonderfully narrated🙌🏿. The only think I want to add is Why you didn’t include Halifa Sallah in your documentary. which we all know that he played a fundamental role in the impasse. He could have narrated it even better.
This was the struggle we went through and now we facing severe struggle economically which has translated to the welfare of the people.
Are you Gambian? If so has the country changed for the better in the years since this report?
May Muhammed and his family find peace. Solo lost his life but it was not in vain, he played a big part in change. Be sad but be proud. Many of us do little that worthy in life through fear or discomfort. Your father was extraordinary and extraordinary men and women are needed in this world. Peace to all of you.
Muhammad is strong 🙏🏾😩❤️
What a beautiful and strong young man..my he find healing 💙
🌎🇬🇲Gambia Peace, Liberty & Justice for the Peoples Of Great Gambia 🇬🇲
Thanks to BBC for Africa
I feel so bad for the new president.
He looks like the weight of Gambia's problems are weighing him down.
May God give him strength and wisdom
He only care for himself. Africans call the leaders who protect them “Dictator “ The New Gambia has sold gambia and poverty is at everyone’s door. Is sad that no one knows what is really happening
And looks like he no better
@@diablo666541 I’m Gambian but he is def much better president then the previous one , he brought stability to the country also the country currently is experience a booming when it comes to investments.
@@omzy8700 eehhh???!!! For where?! Heheee... woi man!
Yahya is the best president ❤❤❤
go young people go!!
❤ The power of Democracy ✊🏿
Peace be in Gambia from a Ghanaian-German 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲
Maybe we should raise funds and complete the house for Solo's family
In most cases I am so against all this technology until I see issues like this in the world and now I thank God for videos and cameras around the world, so that issues like these are brought to light...unreal whats going on in this world
i like the resource endowment to your documentaries
big up killa ace..ma g ...u did ur part walahi
Nice documentary. However I'm waiting for BBC documentary on the cruelty at the immigration camps in the US. Long live mother Africa.
I know right, I cant imagine the horrors going on in those camps..smh
go away..long live BIRTH CONTROL..when will you PEOPLE wake up
low frontal lobe OUTPUT is normal.stop BREEDING is equity
Don't hold ur breath. Im in the US and I haven't heard anything in months about the camps. Its like it the issues and the camps have disappeared into thin air..
I’m from the USA and they never talk about the camps. Even the immigrants because there scared to get deported
Wishing you a speedy recovery Aunty Nogoi!
I went to school in New York with 1 of Jawara's sons.
The new president looks promising .. I think more schools , hospitals , roads should be built .. Support to all Gambia's .. and Muhammad home to be finished .. its true there is a lot to be done. Thanks to talented rapper Ace for reuniting the people
I know Nigeria is a mess but most Africans don’t give Nigeria the credit it deserves. Nigeria played a major role and the fear of its military was crucial. Ironically, Nigerians are too “comfortable” to do what Gambians have done. Thus, I give Gambians all the credit because without their resilience, this great African story won’t be possible.
Barrow is gradually becoming what Gambians hate. He’s starting to use the language of power hungry politicians. Agreed to stay in power for 3 years, he now wants to go beyond. He forgets that even five years will never be enough so just honour your agreement. If you can’t deliver in 3 years then you can’t in 5 years.
Now the question is: can Africans really manage their affairs?
The Judge don’t delude yourself. Nigerian army hasn’t defeated BH due to corruption. BH can be defeated in a week but military generals profit from the war on terror. During 2015 elections, BH was overrun in a week for elections to hold.
Long Standing Emperor please, spare me your sense of entitlement. “Nigeria played a major role” in another country cos it was Nigerians on the street protesting against Jammeh’s rule in The Gambia. Consistently, despite the loss of life. The same Nigerians that don’t protest against anything at home unless it’s a paid crowd.
What a joke. You are not serious at all at all.
Noll S you obviously didn’t read my entire comment because I said everything you just said. Is it the “Nigeria played a major role” that is your problem? It’s a fact and it has been doing so in other African countries.
The Judge true but what is your point the US hasn’t defeated Al Qadda or the Taliban and is now in negotiations with the Taliban guerrilla groups are different from a state
Long Standing Emperor Nigeria didn’t commit many troop to this operation Nigeria only offered air and sea support and only about 230 or so troops the only nation this comment is someway valid for are Liberia and Mali and maybe Sierra Leone
Cameroon needs this ASAP.
BBC thanks for the recommendations
Jah bless the Gambia and the beautiful gambian people
Sounds like lifestyle of a Dictator Africa needs to get rid of Dictators
Start with farmaajo..
Continue to rest in perfect peace Solo Sandeng and Co..
Ameen
See how simple it is, stand side by side as one. People power is real.
is there any that know the spoken work poetry song that start at 28:59. Please le me know I have been looking for that specific song. Thank you
Those students/people are heroes.
I love how hip hop is ingrained into Killer Ace, his accent is awsome, yet he raps in his African language, and keeps it street at the same time.
Love the dude, and to use a platform that can now bring down the mightiest of monsters
His accent is FAKE and annoying. Isn't he proud of his African roots?? Stop trying to fit in and impress with a fake american accent. It don't impress me much as Shania twain sang. Embrace yr Africanness and others will embrace it. People can see thru a fraud.

@@ipaja5515 don’t hate. He speaks with an accent in his everyday life but raps in his traditional language
@@Princeofvenlo what u said sounds soooo stupid. He's an African man born and bred yet speaks with an American accent.
Stop before u make yrself appear more foolish.
Look at Rhianna. She's from Barbados and she's made it big all over the world. Yet she continues to speak with a Barbadian accent. She doesn't speak with an American accent so she can "fit in". She makes the world fit in with HER.
@@ipaja5515 Why you hating on the guy's accent. He was born in the USA if you don't know. Stupid!!!
I swear this is only in Africa. It was suppose to be only for 3 years hommie is pushing it to 5 and who knows what he will say then. Needless to say I think Gambian's are well spoken and resilient. The youth is ready and knows how voice to their opinion.
Can someone please post a link for Killa Ace song featuring Muhammed's poem, I am unable to find it...
This is not good☹,and BBC does it again with this good piece,thanks😘
Never put your trust in a Man. God is the only one who'd never disappoint you
What you did Gambians, its what Africa wants never give up . from Malawi
i lowkey find solo’s son attractive and i dont know how to feel about this
Reach out to him LOL

Long distance friendship/relationship/acquaintance sometimes turn out great and can go a long way, you know.
So, maybe start corresponding with him or something.
Just saying. Lol
I live in US.
Those guys speak excellent English
Many thanks!
In Sudan young people made changes after 30 of military rule , I hope all Africans youth no body brings change other than us,African problems is their leader
God bless!
That person sandeng's son showed where his bedroom would be,this made me literally weep. My heart is with you dear.
Its was very tuff for the Gambians people to understand what is going on in 22 years but thanks to the almighty Allah
Very tuff..... But we made it.... After living 5 years in gambia... Jammeh was ruthless
My tears are rolling
Thanx BBC
May his soul rest in peace
