It is important that we clarify this issue once and for all. Does the international criminal court has jurisdiction over crimes committed by Sana Sabally, Edward, Yahya Jammeh, Peter Singhateh and the many others for slaying some Gambians? What are the criteria, I hope some legal minded member can help. Thanks.

Gambia: Journalist DA Jawo Appalled By Kejau Touray’s November 11 Revelations!!!
Journalist DA Jawo Appalled By Kejau Touray’s November 11 Revelations!!! “If indeed Kejau, who was a material witness to what took place, can come out so open and narrate the extra-judicial executions that allegedly took place on that fateful day, then this is good material for both the German government, where one of the alleged perpetrators, Sana Sabally now lives and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, to launch an investigation against those who bear responsibility for such heinous atrocities against Gambians, for crimes against humanity,” Mr. Jawo writes from Dakar. By D.A Jawo, Dakar, Senegal If indeed Kejau, who was a material witness to what took place, can come out so open and narrate the extra-judicial executions that allegedly took place on that fateful day, then this is good material for both the German government, where one of the alleged perpetrators, Sana Sabally now lives and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, to launch an investigation against those who bear responsibility for such heinous atrocities against Gambians, for crimes against humanity. Indeed, it is a well known fact that the truth of what actually took place on November 11 has never been told, but Kejau's narration is no doubt a very good lead which needs to be followed in order to get to the bottom of what took place. This was certainly such a great crime against Gambians that it should never be allowed to go uninvestigated and unpunished. While there may have been an attempt to overthrow the AFPRC junta as alleged, but that was definitely no excuse to execute anyone without going through the due process of law. Therefore, those who perpetrated such a heinous act had committed a crime for which they should never be allowed to go scot-free. It is therefore incumbent upon all those who, like Kejau, have had first-hand evidence of what took place to come out and share it with concerned Gambians and the international community. D. A. Jawo
