This is the first time that testimonies point directly to Jammeh in such crimes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Since Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparation Commission (TRRC) began its public hearings, Yahya Jammeh\u2019s name has been kept out of the narratives, despite shocking tales about brutal killings of his perceived enemies.\u00a0Though he was the leader of the military junta that ruled the country between 1994 and 2016, it is the vice-chair of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC), Sanna Sabally, who has been mentioned as calling the shots in the early executions under the regime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This narrative has begun to shift in the latest hearings. And the key actor in this shift is Demba Njie, Jammeh\u2019s former chief of staff, who testified before the TRRC.<\/p>\n<p>Njie said he was with Jammeh on November 11, 1994, when the junta is accused of having killed close to two dozen soldiers allegedly involved in planning a coup.\u00a0Jammeh appeared nervous and moving up and down the stairs at the country\u2019s seat of power, the State House in Banjul, said Njie.\u00a0At the time, the eccentric leader had already heard of the plot and \u201chis men,\u201d as he referred to them, were advancing on the country\u2019s biggest camp, the Yundum barracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cKill them all\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Njie recalled that, at 6 a.m., a call came and the order from Jammeh, sitting on a separate couch about three meters away, was clear: \u201cKill them all, the ring leaders.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Njie broke into tears before the nine commissioners and looked down on the table.\u00a0He was a lieutenant in the army before the July 1994 coup. The coup had brought him into the State House as both chief of staff and commander of the State Guard battalion but he couldn\u2019t forget that day.\u00a0\u201cI heard Yahya Jammeh say kill all the ring leaders and that I did not forget. I realized that they had arrested some people and they were going to kill them,\u201d said Njie, crying. \u201cThis was the first time I heard an instruction to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>November 11, 1994 is described as the darkest moment in Gambia\u2019s military history. The Commission dedicated a special section of its hearings to this event.\u00a0And as testimonies are gathered, it is becoming clearer who participated in the killings, how it happened and why.\u00a0According to Sait Darboe, a private who fought on the side of the coup leaders in July 1994, a large section of the army became disgruntled because of the betrayal of the agenda of the coup by the leaders.\u00a0This version of the story was confirmed by other witnesses including Lieutenant Binneh Minteh, one of the organizers of the November coup who later fled to the United States after it had failed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say they [the junta] failed us. I remember Edward Singhateh told us that we were going to be promoted and have a plot of land,\u201d said Darboe, the Commission\u2019s 20<sup>th<\/sup> witness. Described by many as a \u201csadist\u201d, Lieutenant Singhateh was one of the leaders of the coup. He later became the vice-chair of the AFPRC.\u00a0\u201cAnd nothing had been done,\u201d continued Darboe. \u201cWe got frustrated. We were the men who fought for them. Those who supported the coup were not up to forty soldiers. Most of us were junior soldiers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This frustration was what precipitated the November 11 coup attempt.<\/p>\n<h3>The confession of Alagie Kanyi<\/h3>\n<p>The junta, however, had already learned of the plot and they attacked the Fajara and Yundum barracks, where the \u201ccounter coup\u201d was conceived.\u00a0They captured the two camps, arrested the coup leaders before they even started it, and executed them.\u00a0\u201cThey were butchered. They killed them nastily. I saw dead bodies and they were killed with bayonets,\u201d said Sait Darboe. On that fateful day, Darboe was at the Yundum barracks from 8 a.m. to late evening.\u00a0He had pledged his loyalty to November 11 coup leaders but this was not known. Thus he was never arrested.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Alagie Kanyi\" src=\"media\/Gambie_Kanyi_MUSTAPHA-K-DARBOE.jpg\" alt=\"Alagie Kanyi\" \/><figcaption>Alagie Kanyi (\u00a9 Mustapha K. DARBOE)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, one person who was arrested but managed to live was Abdoulie J. Darboe. When he testified before the TRRC, Abdoulie Darboe named Edward Singhateh and Alagie Kanyi among those killing the soldiers. Before the Commission, Alagie Kanyi \u2013 nicknamed by his tormentor \u201cmofala Kanyi\u201d, meaning killer \u2013 became the Commission\u2019s first witness confessing to killing.\u00a0He confessed to opening fire at Basiru Camara and Fafa Nyang on two soldiers who had been arrested and taken away in a green Land Rover, with their hands tied from behind.\u00a0At the execution ground Kanyi said Sanna Sabally would arrest anyone who wouldn\u2019t do what they were instructed.\u00a0\u201cI am instructed to kill my own brother and at that point I don\u2019t have a choice,\u201d said Kanyi.<\/p>\n<p>Kanyi said they were standing in an extended line and so were the soldiers who were about to be executed.\u00a0\u201cSanna Sabally said: \u201cSay your last prayers.\u201d Buba Jammeh [one of the killed soldiers] said: \u201cDon\u2019t kill us, take us to jail.\u201d Sanna gave an order to fire and we fired on them,\u201d said Kanyi.\u00a0\u201cThe firing was rapid and each person was hit with multiple bullets.\u201d\u00a0Five soldiers were killed there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The murder of the Finance Minister<\/h3>\n<p>According to Kanyi\u2019s testimony, senior members of the junta present at the execution were Lt Yankuba Touray, Lt Sadibu Hydara, Lt Edward Singhateh, Lt Peter Singhateh, and Colonel Babucarr Jatta.\u00a0As Kanyi testified in the small hall of about 8 by 8 meters, his brothers were seated in an audience of about 20 people. Some of Kanyi\u2019s relatives were in tears.<\/p>\n<p>Kanyi admitted participating in three main execution events, of which one was the execution of the country\u2019s former finance minister Ousman Koro Ceesay.\u00a0In June 1995, Ceesay was killed by state operatives allegedly led by Edward Singhateh. Kanyi testified that they killed Ceesay at the Kololi residence of Yankuba Touray, one of the military leaders. Ceesay was beaten with pestle and sticks until he finally died. He would later be found dumped in a wrecked car set ablaze.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is another crime in which Demba Njie, the former chief of staff of Jammeh, has implicated the former ruler.\u00a0And Kanyi\u2019s story corroborated the testimony of Njie who claimed the orders came from his former boss, Jammeh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Kanyi\u2019s story corroborated the testimony of Njie who claimed the orders came from his former boss, Jammeh.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ceesay was killed while Jammeh was away in Ethiopia but Jammeh was seen discussing with his vice-chair, Edward Singhateh, at the Banjul International Airport, prior to his departure in \u201cunusual circumstances,\u201d said Njie.\u00a0Njie was then with Jammeh in Ethiopia. He said Jammeh never said a word about the death of Ceesay. \u201cA state minister died under such circumstances and Jammeh never mentioned his name to me,\u201d Njie said.\u00a0According to him, a former state guard commander, Lang Tombong Tamba, called him while he was in Ethiopia to tell him that his friend the minister had been killed. \u201cHe told me there was foul play,\u201d said Njie.\u00a0With his testimony and that of Kanyi, the evidence given before the TRRC has never got closer to the former head of the military regime, who is in exile in Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Gambia, two witnesses before the country\u2019s Truth Commission, including the first confessed killer, have implicated former president Yahya Jammeh in ordering killings of soldiers in November 1994 and of a minister in June 1995.
