The Gambia's inspector general said nobody is allowed to protest without an approved permit. [1] Reuters filed the ban after unrest over prolonged power cuts, with police using tear gas and 11 people arrested over vandalism. [1] A permit rule is not a cancelled election. Print the ban. Do not print December as called off.

Touray warned unauthorized gatherings would be met with necessary force, in the same Reuters wrap. [1] Force language is a warning. It is not a named casualty table. Print the permit. Leave a named death count to the edition that owns one.

Friday recap that treats a Public Order Act reminder as a state of emergency is a feed, not Reuters. Print unpermitted banned. Print not a postponed vote.
