00:00Students in Gambia's capital, Banjul, demonstrated on Monday against poor conditions at the nation's leading university.
00:07The student union at the University of the Gambia called for a mass mobilisation, but urged participants to remain peaceful.
00:16Tell the world, this must go. Our welfare is non-negotiable. We are demanding, we are non-negotiating. The world
00:22should know that the university students are demanding, we are non-negotiating.
00:24Students say that poor transport options mean they can't attend lectures. Others complained about a lack of laboratories and facilities.
00:36Basics like food, water and internet access are also a problem.
00:41The petition concerns the food, potable water, internet and transport conditions at the Farabaw campus and other pressing concerns that
00:56affect the welfare and learning of students.
00:59It calls on management to act on the dates set out under demand.
01:06The government has called for constructive dialogue and announced several measures in response to the students' demands.
01:13The protests come weeks after nationwide demonstrations over persistent power cuts.
