冈比亚班竹尔及周边地区周一晚间因长期停电问题爆发暴力抗议1。抗议民众焚烧轮胎、封锁道路，警方在Westfield地区动用催泪瓦斯驱散人群1。这一事件反映了该国日益严峻的电力危机——自6月以来，冈比亚持续经历停电，旺季期间断电更加频繁，有时停电时长达48小时1。
总统阿达玛·巴罗随后发表电视讲话呼吁民众保持冷静1。他承认政府在电力系统规划和维护方面存在不足1，并宣布了一系列改善措施1。根据巴罗的承诺，政府将在Brikama电站安装24兆瓦发电机组，计划于10月底前投入使用1；同时规划在Soma建设50MW太阳能电厂1。冈比亚国家水电公司主席Gallo Saidy指出，地区电网进口电力减少是造成停电的主要原因1。
Widespread power cuts have triggered escalating unrest in Gambia, with residents taking to the streets in the capital and surrounding areas on Monday evening.1 The demonstrations saw protesters burn tires and block roads, prompting police to deploy tear gas in the Westfield district to disperse crowds.1
The power crisis has plagued the nation since June, with blackouts sometimes lasting as long as 48 hours, particularly during peak seasons.1 In a televised address, President Adama Barrow acknowledged the government's shortcomings in power system planning and maintenance while urging citizens to remain calm.1 He stated that those affected should know "you're not alone in the darkness," emphasizing the collective nature of the challenge.1
To address the crisis, Barrow committed to improving electricity supply by the end of October through the installation of a 24-megawatt generator at the Brikama power station.1 The administration is also planning to construct a 50-megawatt solar facility in Soma.1 According to Nawec chairman Gallo Saidy, the primary cause of the blackouts is reduced electricity imports from the regional grid.1
