The tragedy began a decade and half ago with the murder of Koro Ceesay in the woods of Busumbala village where his government issued Mercedes Benz was turned into his fiery grave. Since then, the horror stories emanating from The Gambia have not ceased coming to light, despite Yahya Jammeh’s best efforts at sealing information flowing from behind the fortified walls of our State House.

So horrifying are some of the stories that it is hard to even believe that Gambians committed the atrocities against fellow citizens. One of the instances of ritual barbarity, a story that only came to light last week, relates to Jammeh’s watchman at his Kanilai farm, Ismail Ceesay Jatta (affectionately called Ceesay Jatta) who after being arrested by Solo Bojang and (Bombardier) Kawsu Camara, on Yahya Jammeh’s orders, had his tongue cut, and his mutilated body left by the road side. The poor watchman is one of many who have suffered a similar fate at the hands of Yahya Jammeh’s executioners. Even more unbelievable, but true, are the stories still to be told, about the level of brutality and carnage carried out at many secret detention and torture centers around the country, but specifically, in Kanilai village. In an effort to piece together a complete story of Jammeh’s reign of terror, we are updating the list of the murdered, the disappeared and the political prisoners still languishing in Mile 2 Prisons...... http://thegambiaecho.com/Homepage/tabid/36/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1846/Default.aspx
