The Gambia Will Set Up a Special Court.
The Gambia plans to create a special court to try people who violate human rights. These crimes happened when Yahya Jammeh was the leader from 1994 to 2017.
Many people support this new court. They say it will bring justice to victims and hold criminals accountable for their actions.
The court will have judges and lawyers from The Gambia and some from other countries, which should help make it fair. It will use laws from The Gambia and international laws.
The court wants to focus on helping victims. It will let them share their stories and try to address their pain. The goal is healing for the whole country, not just punishment.
But there will be challenges. The court needs money and resources. It needs The Gambia's government to cooperate. It has to protect witnesses who testify.
If the court does well, it could be a model for other African countries. They could use similar courts to deal with their pasts. Other countries and groups should support The Gambia as it tries this new idea.
The court is a bold experiment. Success is not guaranteed. But it gives hope for justice and peace after a terrible period. The world will be watching to see what it can achieve.
