Testimony Linking Yahya Jammeh to 2005 Murders Demands Justice
(Banjul) Testimony before Gambia s truth commission implicating then-president Yahya Jammeh in the summary execution in 2005 of about 59 West African migrants should be followed by criminal accountability, Human Rights Watch and TRIAL International said today.
From February 24 to March 11, 2021, witnesses told the Gambia Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) that migrants bound for Europe from Congo, Cote d Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo, plus their Gambian contact, were held by Jammeh s top lieutenants in the security services before being murdered by the Junglers, a notorious paramilitary unit that took its orders directly from Jammeh.
