In four years since the mediatized exhumation of seven bodies in a military camp near Banjul, neither the Truth and Reconciliation commission nor any institution in The Gambia have done anything to identify them. Civil society remained silent. And while there were recent moves to address the issue, it is hard to tell when victims\u2019 families, who have been waiting for nearly 30 years, may get an answer. How did we get there?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In April 2019, the Gambia\u00b4s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC)<\/a> embarked on a much-publicized excavation and exhumation at the Yundum Barracks<\/a>, the country\u2019s biggest military encampment over an hour drive from Banjul, the capital city. Relying on witness testimonies and eye-witnesses, the team of investigators found seven bodies. They are believed to be among at least eleven soldiers executed on November 11, 1994, after an attempted counter-coup against the head of a military junta led by Yahya Jammeh, who had come to power on July 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than four years the remains have been in storage at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital in Banjul. Their identities are still unknown as no DNA testing has been conducted. \u201cThe exhumation of our loved ones for 4 years without being identified, so that they can return to their families, to be given a befitting burial, has serious negative impact on me and my family as Muslims,\u201d said Mamudou M. Sillah. \u201cWhen we contact the government, there is only one answer: we do not have the required tools to carry out the DNA [test].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mamudou
Mamudou M. Sillah, brother of one of the victims of the extrajudicial executions in November 1994: \"When we contact the government, there is only one answer: we don't have the necessary tools to carry out the DNA [test]\". \u00a9 Mariam Sankanu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake no prisoners\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sillah is the brother of Cadet Amadou Sillah, a soldier in the Gambia National Army who on November 10, 1994, left his home to resume his duties at Yundum Barracks. The following day, he was arrested, tied with a cable and transferred in a military Land Rover to the Firing Range in Brikama, where he was summarily executed. He was eventually taken back to Yundum Barracks and secretly buried, according to the TRRC\u00b4s findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also heard that experts would come from Europe to identify the remains and hand them over to their families. But that was the last thing we heard about this issue. We know nothing because nobody tells us anything. Since the bodies were exhumed from Yundum, no information,\u201d added Awa Njie, widow of Abdoulie \u201cDot\u201d Faal. The TRRC found that her husband was the first killed among the slain soldiers. After his arrest on orders of Edward Singhateh<\/a> and Sanna Sabally<\/a>, top members of of Jammeh\u2019s junta, Fall and others were subjected to torture and taken to the remand wing of Mile 2 Central Prison, where they were further tortured. They were then transported to Yundum Barracks. After Faal\u2019s execution, his body was thrown into a pit, the TRRC was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their testimonies before the Commission, both Singhateh<\/a> and Sabally<\/a> said the directive from Jammeh was to \u201ctake no prisoners,\u201d meaning the soldiers had to be killed. Sabally described the incident as a war with \u201cenemies, not captured soldiers to be treated humanely.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t got the expertise\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following the exhumations, a year later the TRRC assured<\/a> that the identification process was \u201cunderway\u201d. But in 2023 it is yet to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen it comes to identification,\u201d explained to Justice Info Thomas Gomez, chief superintendent of Police and local forensic scientist who led the exhumation team in 2019, \u201cit\u2019s not as easy as people think. There are so many things involved. The condition of the remains is one thing and the finances involved is another. We haven't got the expertise to move things from where they are now. We are dealing with degraded remains that have been in the soil for about twenty-five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DNA test cannot be conducted in The Gambia, he admitted. And until it is done the remains would continue to be housed at the mortuary. According to a 2022 article by experts from NGO Justice Rapid Response,<\/a> this situation \u201ccould negatively affect evidentiary value.\u201d The Gambia\u2019s Truth Commission, it reads, \u201cfaced significant capacity challenges in searching for the disappeared particularly around forensics. [\u2026] Following its investigative priorities, the [Truth Commission] proceeded with the exhumations [at the Yundum barracks] without the required technical knowledge on-site and with limited preparation and participation of victims' families. It had no comprehensive plans to conduct post-exhumation forensic analysis of the remains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing the conditions the remains are kept in, Gomez was not reassuring: \u201cFor three years I have not been there to check on the remains. Maybe the roof is leaking. Maybe they moved from fans to AC now. If the condition remains good in that store, then that will be fine. And I hope they remain fine because there is a mortuary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans for more exhumations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to its 2020 interim report, the TRRC discovered up to five suspected burial sites, estimating that it could find at least a hundred disappeared persons. The Commission planned to search for, recover, identify and return these bodies to their families. No exhumation, however, has been conducted since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Info contacted the former executive secretary of the Truth Commission, Baba Galleh Jallow, who suggested that we contact the Ministry of Justice as \u201cthe remains were handed over to them with recommendations to do the needful concerning them.\u201d Last month, two experts from the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and one jurist from the University of Chicago Law School Global Human Rights Clinic came in The Gambia at the invitation of the African Network against Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances (ANEKED), an NGO which proposed assistance to the Gambia Ministry of Justice. \u201cObviously, there is a tremendous urgency in need for comprehensive, rigorous, credible investigations both to give answers to the families and justice. There is a general lack of expertise in terms of technical forensic investigations, police investigations, and how you actually carry out the search for graves\u2019 recovery and analysis, exhumation, and how at the level of doctors you carry out autopsies and forensic anthropological analysis at the lab level,\u201d said the human rights advocate and lawyer from the University of Chicago Anjli Parrin to Justice Info after a four-day mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And soon it will be 30 years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a June 20th<\/sup> press release,<\/a> ANEKED and the Justice Ministry hoped \u201cthat the outcome of the mission will close capacity gaps [\u2026] to kick-start the search and identification of the remaining scores of victims of human rights violations identified by the [Truth Commission] that are still missing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Gomez, even with the required expertise, there are uncertainties surrounding the identification process. \u201cI am not 100% positive to say yes they will be able to identify all of them because I know the condition [of the remains]. It is a 50\/50 thing. It is possible you might not, it is possible you might.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the Truth commission\u2019s recommendations, prosecutions of the top leaders of Jammeh\u2019s military junta \u2013 including Jammeh, Singhateh, Sabally and senior military officers who allegedly participated in the November 11, 1994, tortures and killings \u2013 are now expected to commence early 2025, according to the recently disclosed government\u00b4s implementation plan. Towards the end of the year, the government said it plans to establish \u201ca mechanism for the exhumation and identification of disappeared persons.\u201d By the time it may bring results it will be 30 years since the killings took place.<\/p>\n\n\n
