The Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission has opened a session on gender-based violence. Several victims have testified about abuse, including rape, by paramilitary agents. Testimonies are now expected to narrow down on former president Jammeh himself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For 22 years, the primary asset of Gambia\u2019s former dictator Yahya Jammeh in winning elections and prolonging his stay in power was fear. But in 2016, that fear was met with fearlessness.\u00a0At the forefront of that change were women, including Fatoumatta K. Jawara, today a lawmaker. They paid a heavy price for it.<\/p>\n

On April 14, 2016, Jawara was among 26 people who were arrested for protesting in support of \u201cproper electoral reform\u201d. The group was led by Ebrima Solo Sandeng whose death in state custody due to alleged torture would eventually lead to president Jammeh being forced out of power in January 2017. \u201cI was blindfolded and taken into the torture room. They took my scarf and strongly tied up my face to the point that I could hardly breathe. I was stretched on the table and they poured cold water on me,\u201d said Jawara before Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) on October 22.\u00a0\u201cThey hit me repeatedly for an extended period with something that felt like a baton because it was hard. I couldn\u2019t see them but there could be about twenty people hitting me. They tortured me and took me out of the torture room to face the panel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t talk, we will ask these men to rape you\u201d<\/h3>\n

Seven former senior members of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are currently being tried for the murder of Solo Sandeng and the torture of Jawara and others. The case is about to enter the defense stage. Various testimonies before the TRRC have established that torture was customary for detainees in Jammeh\u2019s Gambia.\u00a0Alagie Martin, a serving general in the Gambia army, who reportedly tortured several detainees<\/a>, put it this way before the Commission: \u201cOf course, if you are not forthcoming with the truth, we deal with you.\u201d (Martin was suspended from the army after his testimony.)<\/p>\n

Fatoumatta Jawara did not say that she was raped but she did say NIA agents threatened to rape her.\u00a0Before the \u201cinvestigation panel\u201d that Jawara faced after being tortured, she heard the voice of Sheikh Omar Jeng, an Operations Commander at the NIA who is among those currently standing trial for Sandeng\u2019s murder. \u201cHe [Sheikh Omar] told me: if you don\u2019t talk, I will ask all these men here to rape you\u201d, testified Jawara. \u201cThat was the time I fell down again because I could not stand, due to intense pain and injuries. When I regained consciousness, they started beating me for a short period.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Jawara said she still hears her tormentors calling her in her dreams.\u00a0\u201cI sustained a lot of injuries on my body including my back, my buttocks and my thighs. These injuries are still hurting me. Sometimes when the pain starts, I do not sleep at night. A few months ago, I was admitted at the hospital in Banjul on two occasions,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Physical evidence<\/h3>\n

In custody with Jawara was Fatoumatta Camara, a member of the United Democratic Party (UDP), the leading opposition party under Jammeh. Now 46, Camara appeared before the TRRC on October 24. At the NIA headquarters, she said they were asked who sponsored them and whether their party leader Ousainou Darboe was part of the protest. But any truth that was not \u201ctheir truth\u201d, she said, was dismissed. \u201cThey beat me until I fainted. When I became unconscious, they poured cold water on me. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on the ground, somewhere within the premises. I heard them saying \u2018oh she is alive\u2019. And they came again and began beating me,\u201d Camara testified. As a result of torture, she said she had to use a wheelchair to go to the restroom. She could not walk. \u201cI was urinating only blood for 15 days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Gambia\u2019s TRRC began probing gender-based violence on October 14. It heard several cases of torture of women in detention and cases of alleged rape, or suspected rape like in the case of Jawara.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sainabou Camara was involved in the April 10-11, 2000 protest, when fourteen students were gunned down by security forces for\u00a0protesting the alleged rape of a student, Binta Manneh, and the alleged murder of another, Ebrima Barry<\/a>.\u00a0Sainabou Camara went to school that day without any knowledge of the protest. After she learned about it, she joined the other students.\u00a0She was arrested by paramilitary officers. \u201cWhen they captured me, they started beating me with their batons. They slapped and kicked me,\u201d she said, as they \u201cdragged her\u201d to the camp.\u00a0Upon arrival at the paramilitary camp at Westfield, about 15 minutes drive from Banjul, Sainabou Camara said they took her to a room, tied her hands and legs and started stamping on her, including her private parts. After some time, she became unconscious.<\/p>\n

She regained consciousness a week later at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital. \u201cMy face and my private parts were swollen,\u201d she said. She was not able to say if she was raped. However, the wounds on her thighs and sexual organs, inside and outside, were consistent with rape.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know what caused the injury in my private part,\u201d she said. \u201cI am still living with the pain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next suspect, Jammeh himself<\/h3>\n

Bintou Nyabally, a UDP supporter, was arrested twice in May 2016. The second time, on May 17, she said she was taken to a small room by two paramilitary officers who raped her. She could identify one by his surname, Sanneh. \u201cThey both forced themselves on me and both of them wore masks,\u201d said Nyabally before the TRRC. \u201cThe next day I was vomiting and we were released to go home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The TRRC is also expected to hear about direct allegations of rape against former president Jammeh. Last June, human rights organizations issued a report that charged Jammeh with such allegations. It included the testimony of Fatou Toufah Jallow, a former Gambian beauty queen who is expected to testify before the TRRC. The report also alleged that Jammeh used protocol officers to sleep with several women.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yusupha Sanneh was an orderly to Jammeh for ten years. He was arrested in the United States in December 2017 for his involvement with Jammeh\u2019s hit squad. Before the TRRC, Sanneh did not confirm any rape allegation but he said he saw several girls being brought to Jammeh\u2019s place.\u00a0\u201cHe would invite some girls for grills. Some would also come to do green tea. Normally when boys cook attaya, we would collect it and give it to the stewards. But when it was ladies who brew the attaya, they took it to him. He would say we should not escort them. Sometimes they were there between 30 to 40 minutes,\u201d said Sanneh.\u00a0Some of those girls were soldiers and protocol officers, according to Sanneh.\u00a0He listed nine names whom he said were involved in brewing attaya for Jammeh. \u201cSometimes, we would receive girls at the residence [in Kanilai, Jammeh\u2019s village] at night. Sometimes this would happen at 2, 3, 4 or even 5 a.m,\u201d said Sanneh.<\/p>\n

TRIAL AND DENIAL ABOUT A POLITICAL MURDER
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edward Singhateh, once the second most influential person in the military council that ruled Gambia after the 1994 coup, has denied involvement in the killing of former Finance minister Ousman Koro Ceesay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In June 1995 Koro Ceesay\u2019s charred remains were found in a car along the Jambur highway. He had reportedly been killed after seeing off president Yahya Jammeh at the airport.\u00a0Testimonies before the TRRC have tied Singhateh, who was then the vice-chairman of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council, to the murder.\u00a0On February 28, a former soldier, Alagie Kanyi, confessed to killing Koro Ceesay<\/a>. He said the crime scene was the house of former Local government minister Yankuba Touray and that the architects of the murder were Edward Singhateh, his brother Peter Singhateh, and Yankuba Touray.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Touray appeared before the TRRC on June 26 but refused to testify. He was immediately arrested and is currently being tried for the murder. Peter Singhateh is yet to appear before the Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mustapha Marong, Justice minister at the time, testified last April that he believed Koro Ceesay\u2019s death \u201cwas connected to the $35 million dollars that Captain Ebou Jalo negotiated on behalf of the government with Exim Bank of Taiwan.\u201d He explained that it was unusual and not in accordance with proper procedure that such loan agreement be negotiated by Jalo and not the Finance minister. There are suspicions that Koro Ceesay would not have approved how the money was going to be used.<\/p>\n

Two orderlies of Edward Singhateh, Lamin S. Marong and Lamin Fatty, also testified they had dropped their boss at Yankuba\u2019s house on the day of the murder. Ahmed Jangom, an orderly of Yankuba, said he saw Edward Singhateh at Touray\u2019s house on that day.\u00a0Lamin Ndure, Touray\u2019s driver, also said he dropped Touray\u2019s wife at Edward Singhateh\u2019s house, suggesting the \u201ccrime scene\u201d was being cleared for \u201cmurder\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, however, Edward Singhateh denied any knowledge of Koro Ceesay\u2019s death. His alibi was that he was at home, back from the airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Singhateh\u2019s denial left several people unimpressed. Madi Jobarteh, a leading human rights activist, said Singhateh should be arrested for attempting to mislead the TRRC.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
