2005 Gambia Massacre: Coalition calls for settlement of $600,000 compensation to victims’ families and survivors

The Jammeh2Justice Ghana Coalition (J2J Ghana) urges the government of Ghana  to immediately initiate discussions with The Gambian government to pay the promised compensation to the West  African migrants including, more than 44 Ghanaians who were unlawfully killed in The Gambia in 2005.  

Following the findings by the Gambia Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) that ex-President  Yahya Jammeh and 12 others under his command and control were responsible for the unlawful killing, torture, and  enforced disappearances of over 50 West African migrants, the Gambian government on May 25, 2022, accepted the recommendations of the TRRC to pay a sum of thirty-two million, four hundred thousand Dalasi (about $600,000) as  compensation to the victims of the 2005 massacre. These reparations payments were directed to be paid as soon as  possible through the respective governments of the countries of origin of the victims.  

Since the release of the white paper, the J2J Ghana Coalition, the victims’ families, and survivors expected the  government of Ghana, which is mandated to receive the money for onward payment, to contact the victims’ families  and survivors, and publicly provide information about the steps it is taking to ensure the Gambian government pays  the reparations to them.  

Regrettably, no such contact has been made, and action has been taken. In this regard, we urge the government of  Ghana to, as a matter of urgency, contact the victims’ families and survivors. The J2J Ghana Coalition, which has  remained in contact with the victims’ families and survivors, is ready to assist the government in such engagement. 

We also reiterate our earlier call that the compensation amount of about $600,000 for 67 victims promised by the  Gambian government is woefully inadequate and that the said amount, if paid, should be considered as a first payment towards the payment of additional and adequate compensation to the victims’ families and survivors.

The J2J Ghana  would like to encourage the Ghana government to consider further negotiations with the government of the Gambia  to secure additional and adequate financial support for the survivors and victims.
