A baseball cap. Wallets, belts, neckties and bank membership cards. At first, the ordinary-seeming items do not seem fit for display in a museum.<\/p>\n<p>Then, with just a few words from one of the slips of paper accompanying them, the objects\u2019 quotidian nature takes a chilling turn.Certificate awarded to Kanyiba Kanyl for the completion of Computer Operation course,\u201d one note reads. \u201cHe was forcibly disappeared on 18th September 2006. His fate is still unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is Memory House, a museum located on a dusty road in Serekunda, just outside The Gambia\u2019s capital, Banjul, dedicated to the victims of former leader Yahya Jammeh.<\/p>\n<p>Objects on display here range from photographs of victims to written testimony to art made by those who suffered under Jammeh\u2019s 22-year reign in this small West African country of 2.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>But just five years after Jammeh was deposed, the museum, which opened in October, pursues a mandate much grander than its small stature of just four exhibition rooms suggests: rewriting the suppressed history of Jammeh\u2019s rule \u2013 including, in some cases, uncovering new stories for the first time.\u201cOur target is the people who have been hearing things [about the Jammeh era] but really are not sure whether to believe it or not,\u201d said Sirra Ndow, Gambia country representative for the African Network Against Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances (ANEKED), which runs Memory House.<\/p>\n<p>Jammeh came to power in a 1994 military coup. Over the next two decades, hundreds of Gambians \u2013 journalists, migrants, political activists, as well as student protesters and random Gambians caught in the wrong place at the wrong time \u2013 would be killed or disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Others were targeted in \u201cwitch hunts\u201d and accused of sorcery. HIV patients were forced to undergo bogus, dangerous treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Rigged and suppressed elections kept Jammeh in power until 2016, when the political opposition was able to unite around Adama Barrow for a surprise victoryAfter initially resisting Barrow\u2019s appointment as president, Jammeh eventually fled the country to Equatorial Guinea, where he lives today in exile.<\/p>\n<p>While a post-Jammeh truth commission was essential to publicising many of Jammeh\u2019s atrocities for the first time, Memory House hopes to extend that conversation.Just people knowing what happened is an act of accountability,\u201d Ndow told Al Jazeera. \u201cPeople forgetting leaves [behind] impunity \u2026 For most people, they just hear the stories, and they don\u2019t get to feel it. Memory House brings that element of feeling it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tallying some 250 victims of the state or its agents, The Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) published its final report in December, which called for everything from constitutional reform to the prosecution of Jammeh.<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s response \u2013 outlining which of the myriad of the report\u2019s recommendations it will pursue, and how \u2013 is due on Wednesday.But \u2013 while much has been said of the attempts at reconciliation, reparations payments and eventual trials \u2013 to this day, some Gambians dismiss accusations against Jammeh as unfounded smears, and some victims of the infamous witch hunts still face social stigma in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>Memorialisation \u201chelps to educate the public by keeping a permanent record of the history, perspective and context of a period of gross human rights violations. This is important as it allows victims in particular to control the narrative,\u201d said Salieu Taal, president of the Gambian Bar Association, which has produced policy papers on options for carrying out the TRRC\u2019s recommendations, in an email.<\/p>\n<p>Memory House \u201cwill play an important role in educating generations of Gambia of a dark chapter of our history which we must collectively ensure never happens again. It is important that the lessons of the [post-Jammeh transitional justice] process are mainstreamed in our education system to instil a culture against impunity.\u201dDespite 871 days of testimony, the TRRC could not possibly cover every victim of the Jammeh regime, which is why Memory House trained three Gambian women to document more crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Their work is displayed in an exhibition that opened earlier this month, titled We. Are. Not. Done.<\/p>\n<p>Portraits and testimony from victims and their family members dot the museum\u2019s courtyard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mum was eight months pregnant when she was accused of being a witch,\u201d reads the text accompanying portraits of one woman, going by the name Fatou, hiding her face to protect her identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[My mother] lost the child \u2026 My grandmother is still affected. She gets angry for no reason; she throws stones at us and closes the gate saying \u2018nobody will leave the house\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI dropped out of school at grade 5 because I was being bullied that my mother is a witch, which is why I agreed to get married at an early age. [People still] mock us about being witches \u2026 I have no friends,\u201d the testimony reads.The healing process<\/p>\n<p>While the delivery of the TRRC report was hailed by rights groups as a milestone, its release was also hampered by delays and concerns that a government with lingering Jammeh apparatchiks would not take it seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Barrow won his re-election last year with support from some members of Jammeh\u2019s old party, which still holds seats in the National Assembly. The constitution, judicial sector and national security sector still need significant reforms after being warped by Jammeh\u2019s rule, activists and the TRRC report have declared.<\/p>\n<p>Memory House maintains financial independence from the state \u2013 relying on grants and outside partners to keep its exhibitions free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Memory House] is a way to keep not just the government\u2019s minds but the public\u2019s minds on the long-term nature of the transitional justice process,\u201d said Sara Bradshaw, programme director at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, which counts Memory House, located at ANEKED\u2019s headquarters, as a member site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the 2016 election, [civil society groups] have really pivoted their work to make the transitional justice process as inclusive as possible, and as victim-centred as possible.\u201dReed Brody, an American lawyer who works with Jammeh\u2019s victims, also said there is a \u201ccontinuing battle over the narrative\u201d of Jammeh\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n<p>You want the current generation and future generations to remember, also, that Gambians insisted on accountability for these things,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, Gambians are still learning harsh truths of the Jammeh era for the first time. A Gambian journalist covering the museum recently found herself looking at a display about a family member, whom she never realised had been a victim, Ndow recalled.<\/p>\n<p>A fifth grader passing by found out her father\u2019s death was linked to Jammeh. \u201cWe have individuals walking by, walking in, not knowing what is here, only to realise, \u2018Oh, this is my family member,\u2019\u201d Ndow said.<\/p>\n<p>Ndow\u2019s family is represented in the displays as well. A social security card and passport belonging to her uncle, Saul Ndow, sit on display, a final testament to the government critic allegedly killed and disappeared by Jammeh\u2019s regime in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes a long way towards the healing process\u201d on a personal level, Ndow said of having her uncle\u2019s effects on display \u2013 but she is not alone.\u201cMost of the victims were powerless,\u201d during the Jammeh era, said Ndow. Now, though, being able to share their stories \u201cbrings back their power\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
