More doctors and lab technicians have come to testify on the fanciful \u2013 and lethal \u2013 treatment that former leader Yahya Jammeh had claimed could cure AIDS. All testimonies lead to a key actor, and expected witness: Dr Mbowe. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In January 2007, Yahya Jammeh, the autocratic leader of the Gambia, a small West African country, appeared \u201cwith a bag of herbs and made a diabolical statement,\u201d said Essa Faal, the lead counsel of Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC), charged with investigating human rights violations under Jammeh\u2019s rule (1994-2017).<\/p>\n<p>Jammeh had laid claims to discovering a dose of herbal concoction that would cure HIV\/AIDs in three days.\u00a0His treatment has since been veiled in secrecy. But after more than two months without public sessions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the TRRC has resumed hearing testimonies on October 12 and new evidence continued to lend a rare and unique insight into a treatment that proved to be both a sham and a killer.<\/p>\n<p>During one week last July and in the past week, 10 patients, 3 medical doctors, 3 lab technicians and Jammeh\u2019s former aide de camp who all participated in the treatment described it a \u201choax\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the last eight years of Jammeh\u2019s 22-year rule, pictures accompanied praising songs on national television showing him treating patients.\u00a0Jammeh claimed his treatment was successful by rubbing patients\u2019 bodies with herb pastes and by giving them herbal potions.\u00a0The self-named \u201cleader of the people of faith\u201d was brandishing around with a Quran, prayers beads and, occasionally, a miracle water he would throw at his supporters. \u201cThe treatment was just to empower the president. There was never a cure,\u201d said last July Landing Momodou Faal, a lab technician who had been working with Gambia\u2019s ex-ruler on his alternative AIDS treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>The dilemma between upholding ethics and surviving<strong> <br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Jammeh\u2019s announcement of herbal cure for AIDS was a nightmare for the medical and scientific community who knew the cure was a hoax but said they could not do anything about it. Dr Assan Jaye was leading a HIV\/AIDS treatment programme at a UK-sponsored Medical Research Council (MRC) hospital in Banjul, the capital city, when Jammeh announced his cure. Under his department were 1600 patients, 500 of whom were on conventional treatment.\u00a0Last week Jaye told the TRRC that the announcement was shocking but that they initially discarded it as part of the dictator\u2019s political rhetoric. It became real when some of his patients and those whose condition he was monitoring came to him to announce that they were joining Jammeh\u2019s treatment.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Dr Assan Jaye testifies before the TRRC in Gambia\" src=\"media\/Gambia_TRRC-Dr-Assan-Jaye_Mustapha-K-Darboe.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Assan Jaye testifies before the TRRC in Gambia\" \/><figcaption>Dr Jaye: \u201cWe were caught between saving our research mandate and clashing with a political power. We decided [to] close our HIV clinic.\u201d \u00a9 Mustapha K; Darboe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The situation was to become a cruel dilemma for Dr Jaye and his team, as well as for a number of medical staff who had to deal with Jammeh\u2019s new and deadly hare-brained idea. For Dr Jaye, Jammeh\u2019s claim was \u201crubbish\u201d but they couldn\u2019t afford a clash with an all too powerful autocrat. They had to inform their patients \u2013 whom he said were doing very well \u2013 of the risks involved since they would be taken off their conventional treatment for an untested herbal concoction.<\/p>\n<p>Abdoulie Batchilly was a lab technician at the country's only referral Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital, now renamed Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cIt was the most depressing period of my life because I knew what we were doing was not authentic. I was scared for my safety and the safety of my family,\u201d he said before the TRRC.<\/p>\n<h3>The endorsement of Jammeh\u2019s cure by Dr Mbowe<\/h3>\n<p>Batchilly tested two post-treatment patients from Jammeh\u2019s AIDS programme. They both tested positive to the virus. Jammeh did not like that, Batchilly testified. After those two tests in the Gambia, samples were sent to a lab in Dakar, Senegal. Some samples came back showing a very low viral load. But Batchilly said the results were wrongly interpreted by Dr Tamsir Mbowe, the director of Jammeh\u2019s treatment programme, to mean that the patients were cured. Batchilly said he confronted Dr Mbowe over his announcement. (Batchilly testified via a video link from the United Kingdom where he has lived since leaving his country over Jammeh\u2019s fake AIDS treatment.)\u00a0A Senegalese HIV\/AIDS expert, professor Sulayman Mboob, whose lab had been used to conduct the tests, also wrote to refute claims that samples tested in his lab showed Jammeh cured the virus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you say you cure HIV based on an increased CD4 count and suppressed viral load, that is not a cure. You need to do a pro-viral DNA test to [establish that you] eliminate the presence of the virus in the cells,\u201d explained Dr Jaye.\u00a0But Jammeh and Dr Mbowe would not be deterred. \u201cThis cure, unless one ignores it and says this is not possible, this is 100% [true]. These people had the virus and it has been confirmed through testing. After 10 days of testing, the virus disappears from the body. What do people want now?\u201d Dr Mbowe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zaeDS_pHwLg\">told national broadcaster<\/a> GRTS, in 2007. Even when his colleagues like\u00a0Dr Mariatou Jallow, a former director of Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital who appeared before the TRRC last July, Batchilly and a host of others silently protested, Dr Mbowe maintained the cure was true.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe President shortened these people\u2019s lives\u201d<strong> <br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Months into Jammeh\u2019s treatment, not only did medical practitioners realize it was a fraud, a lot of patients also did, said Dr Jaye.\u00a0Those who were quick to notice the treatment was a fake returned to Jaye\u2019s clinic at the MRC. \u201cTheir health was in a state of hopeless decline,\u201d Jaye recalled. \u201cSome died, no matter how much we tried, some survived.\u201d Dr Jaye said that there was evidence that the longer one stayed on Jammeh\u2019s treatment, the worse their condition got.\u00a0\u201cThere was a sizable number that got retained for a long time. That group that got retained in Jammeh\u2019s programme, their condition [had] deteriorated by the time they came back to the MRC.\u201d Others died without ever making it back to the MRC. \u201cWe knew that some people died because we knew the people on his treatment,\u201d said Dr Jaye.\u00a0\u201cThat was the sad thing about it because these were people that we had managed to a good level of health. Unfortunately, the President shortened their lives. Those people were not supposed to die.\u201d\u00a0The Truth Commission is yet to establish how many people died.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The MRC knew that though they couldn\u2019t turn away patients, if they did not close their HIV clinic Jammeh would come after their whole hospital.\u00a0\u201cWe were caught between saving our research mandate and clashing with a political power. The fact that these people had gone to a presidential treatment and were coming back could cause a political problem and may compromise our research mandate. We decided [to] close our HIV clinic at the MRC,\u201d said Dr Jaye. Before closing their clinic, they sought funding from London to support the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital to be able to handle the HIV\/AIDS patients.\u00a0Meanwhile and up until 2018 Dr Mbowe still believed the treatment worked, as would indicate <a href=\"https:\/\/foroyaa.net\/i-have-no-idea-if-jammeh-registered-as-medical-doctor-says-tamsir-mbowe\/\">his statement before the Janneh Commission<\/a>, a financial inquiry into the activities of Jammeh. He is now expected to appear before the TRRC and respond to the allegations against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 12, public hearings resumed before Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission after a two-month break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
