Could you imagine a government's unchecked power leading to a saga of human rights abuses? Uncover the harrowing truth as we examine The Gambia's struggle with such a past. This episode takes you through the rocky journey from the 1994 military coup to the relentless rule of President Yaya Jammeh. We dissect the grim findings of the Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission, including enforced disappearances, torture, and extrajudicial killings. This isn't just history; it's a lesson in the resilience of a nation seeking justice and accountability.
Listen as we discuss the ambitious roadmap laid out by The Gambia, targeting sweeping reforms from 2023 to 2027. We cut through the legal jargon to bring you the essence of the TRRC's recommendations, from prosecuting the guilty to overhauling the nation's security apparatus. Human rights, the rule of law, and a commitment to never repeating the mistakes of the past take center stage in this compelling narrative. With voices from the ground, experts, and those who lived through the ordeal, this episode promises an unflinching look at The Gambia's quest to reconcile its dark history with a more just future.
