The Gambia’s transitional justice efforts have been progressing at a snail’s pace, much to the frustration of rights activists and victims of Jammeh-era crimes.

Former interior minister, Ousman Sonko, was tried and sentenced to 20yrs in Switzerland in May 2024. And now Michale Sang Correa is brought to justice in the US. And another former official of feared National Intelligence Agency, Alagie Morr, is under investigation on allegations of torture in Scotland.
