Seedy Bojang

Author, editor, journalist

Seedy Bojang is a published author of both fiction and non-fiction books, as well as journalist and editor from the Gambia. His 2009 novel, Tip of the Iceberg, exposes corruption and criminality among Gambian civil servants and elites.

Other works discuss social issues, such as Shadows from my Past (2010), Bumpy Journey (2008), and The Changing World (2006). As a journalist, Bojang is active in reporting on restraints of freedom of expression, as well as threats and harassment of journalists. Due to his work, it was hard for Bojang to find employment within the Gambia. In August 2011, Bojang released Our Tears and Sorrows, a portrayal of the state of media freedom and democracy in Africa. 

Seedy Bojang was Fredriksberg City of Refuge's guest writer from 2010 to 2012
