Gambia: Why After Four Years Identity of the Exhumed Remains Unknown? allafrica.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from allafrica.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Since 2019 and the much-publicized exhumation of 7 bodies at the Yundum military camp, neither the Truth Commission nor any institution in The Gambia has acted to identify them. Why is this?
Three years ago, the Swiss NGO TRIAL International filed a complaint against a Swiss businessman operating in the Gambia with the complicity of its former president Yahya Jammeh, accused of having committed a war crime through pillaging Senegal’s forest cover. Only a few weeks ago, the Swiss prosecutor's office sent a first request for judicial assistance to Banjul.
