“The need to forgive and reconcile does not and must not preclude the imperative for accountability and justice in transitional justice processes. A judicial remedy is a form of reparation and it safeguards against impunity,” Sirra Ndow of ANEKED, speaking at the ATJLF country learning session in Banjul, The Gambia.

Marr Nyang of Gambia Participates, outlined how their ATJLF-funded project has contributed to bringing the issue of land corruption and communal land dispossession to the fore of The Gambia’s transitional justice discourse. “Through our participatory video approach, we enabled victims of Jammeh’s land grabbing to share their testimonies and draw attention to their plights. The advocacy will continue, to ensure that socio-economic rights issues get the needed attention in transitional justice response efforts in The Gambia."

Our project has contributed significantly to helping transform the lives of victims, especially women in the Sintet region. We’re very proud of the community garden initiative, which has multiple purposes for healing, building social cohesion and advancing transformative reparation at a communal level. We are happy that the ATJLF took the risk with us for this project,” Fatou Baldeh, Director of WILL (Women In Liberation & Leadership).

On Wednesday, following a series of individual meetings with grantee partners, the ATJLF delegation convened a full-day learning session with all its partners in The Gambia. The key takeaways from the learning session are the need for more collaboration between and among partners, a sustained engagement with victims/survivors and state actors; the importance of documenting learning and impacts and community ownership of transitional justice processes.

At the #AccraSummit in August, political leaders, civil society actors and academics joined voices to demand for truth, justice and accountability for the historical crimes of slavery and the slave trade as well as the injurious legacies of colonialism. #ATJLF #Reparations #Healing #AccraDeclaration #AdvancingJustice #Africa

As part of our Reparations & Racial Healing Summit

As part of our Reparations & Racial Healing Summit held in August this year, we went on a healing pilgrimage to the Cape Castle and learned more about how our African ancestors endured torture and other forms of cruel and inhuman treatment in the hands of slave traders. We left the dungeons with renewed energy to be part of the global campaign for reparations and healing for the historical crimes of slavery, the slave trade and colonialism.
