Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Nearly nine years after fleeing into exile in Equatorial Guinea, the former dictator says he\u2019s returning home \u2013 a defiant move that exposes President Barrow\u2019s fragile grip, a stalled justice process and the enduring nostalgia still haunting a nation trying to move on.<\/b><\/p>\nOn Sunday, former president Yahya Jammeh drew hundreds of supporters to his home village of Kanilai, near the Gambia-Senegal border, for a much-trailed address.<\/p>\n
As his voice crackled through loudspeakers, the crowd shifted between close attention and bursts of chanting and applause.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have missed my country\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n
In a 13-minute speech relayed via WhatsApp, the former Gambian leader said he would return in November 2025 \u2013 nearly nine years after going into exile following his 2016 election defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody can prevent me from coming in. I have missed my country,\u201d Jammeh said, invoking an Ecowas-brokered deal and claims of betrayal.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the will of the Almighty, I will come back in November 2025 and stay peacefully in my motherland.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Jammeh\u2019s most direct statement since his departure, reigniting passions among loyalists and fear among those who lived through his 22-year rule.<\/p>\n
A deal \u2013 or a delusion?<\/b><\/p>\n
Jammeh said his return was guaranteed under a memorandum of understanding allegedly signed in 2017 during talks to end the post-election standoff that nearly pushed The Gambia into civil war after he refused to step down.<\/p>\n
According to him, the document was drafted in his presence with then Guinean and Mauritanian presidents Alpha Conde\u0301 and Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.<\/p>\n
He said Halifa Sallah, one of the opposition coalition leaders at the time, signed for the Gambian side because president-elect Adama Barrow was in Dakar.<\/p>\n
Jammeh also said Mohamed Ibn Chambas, then the UN special representative for West Africa, signed on behalf of the UN secretary-general.<\/p>\n
\u201cI signed it too and I believe Alpha Conde\u0301 and others did as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He accused Ecowas officials of misleading him and prolonging his exile \u201cdue to a hidden agenda\u201d within the coalition that forced him from power.<\/p>\n
The claim is not new. Jammeh made similar assertions in recordings shared among supporters in 2019 and 2021, but neither Ecowas nor the UN has publicly confirmed or denied such a document.<\/p>\n
That silence, analysts say, has left space for Jammeh\u2019s narrative to gain traction among loyalists.<\/p>\n
\u2018Continued ambiguity\u2019 of the UN<\/b><\/p>\n
Ecowas commissioner for political affairs Abdel-Fatau Musah did not respond to The Africa Report\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
However, a former Ecowas consultant, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his current position, said the \u201ccontinued ambiguity\u201d of the bloc and the UN over the supposed agreement has been \u201ccounterproductive\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir refusal to clarify, perhaps to avoid reopening a sensitive episode, allows Jammeh to weaponise that vacuum and portray himself as a victim of a broken promise,\u201d the consultant said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy refusing to set the record straight, Ecowas in particular has given Jammeh\u2019s story oxygen and legitimacy, at least in the eyes of his followers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that, to his knowledge, the 2017 discussions aimed solely to prevent violence and secure Jammeh\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom what I heard, there was a political understanding to facilitate Jammeh\u2019s peaceful exit, not a legal MoU guaranteeing his return,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Jammeh insists otherwise, he will have to produce evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
For us, Jammeh\u2019s return without justice would reopen every wound this country has tried to heal<\/p>\n
Reed Brody, a veteran human-rights lawyer who has worked with Gambian victims to build international cases against Jammeh, dismisses the claim of a guaranteed return as baseless.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no legal or diplomatic basis for Yahya Jammeh\u2019s claim that Ecowas guaranteed his safe return,\u201d says Brody.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 2017 Joint Declaration on the Political Situation in The Gambia \u2013 which was unsigned and rejected by the incoming government \u2013 contains no assurance against prosecution, nor could it.\u201d<\/p>\n
His promised return, he adds, should be met not with a red carpet, but with an arrest warrant and a fair trial.<\/p>\n
At the time, Jammeh\u2019s departure was negotiated under intense international pressure, with Senegalese troops massed at the border and Ecowas forces on standby.<\/p>\n
Justice deferred, dictator emboldened<\/b><\/p>\n
Gambia\u2019s Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC), which concluded hearings in 2021, found Jammeh responsible for murders, torture, sexual violence and enforced disappearances, and recommended his prosecution for crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n
Though President Barrow accepted the findings, implementation has been slow.<\/p>\n
The drift has angered victims and rights advocates, who say it has given Jammeh space to reassert himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cJammeh\u2019s message pricks old wounds, interrupts the healing of victims and retraumatises them,\u201d says Madi Jobarteh, founder of the Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights and Justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cNine years is a long time without justice in full, whether it\u2019s reparations or prosecutions and convictions. His message only serves to devastate the hope and resilience of victims,\u201d he told The Africa Report.<\/p>\n
Arrest Jammeh on arrival?<\/b><\/p>\n
Jobarteh says the government\u2019s credibility will hinge on whether it acts decisively if Jammeh returns.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as Jammeh steps foot in The Gambia, the government has only one choice; to arrest him,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was the chief executive who bore the legal and political obligation to protect human rights. Yet under his watch, gross violations took place. The only logical position for the government is to arrest him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Failing to do so, Jobarteh warns, would \u201cendanger the peace and stability of Gambia\u201d and validate fears that Barrow prioritises political alliances over justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe recall how he visited Jammeh\u2019s home in Kanilai ahead of the 2021 election and later forged an alliance with the APRC.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoupled with the fact that he has since reinstated key Jammeh enablers in his cabinet, parliament and public institutions, failing to arrest Jammeh would therefore mean Barrow is complicit in the crimes of Jammeh, as this would constitute covering up crimes and excusing criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Information minister and government spokesperson Ismaila Ceesay says Jammeh will face due process if he returns.<\/p>\n
\u201cJammeh, as a private citizen on self-exile, can come back, and if he does so, he would be subject to the due process of the law set out in the TRRC process,\u201d he told The Africa Report.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs regards the government\u2019s role in Jammeh\u2019s comeback decision, government played no role, absolutely nothing whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Political shockwaves<\/b><\/p>\n
Jammeh\u2019s announcement has jolted The Gambia\u2019s fragile politics. President Adama Barrow faces mounting discontent ahead of the 2026 elections amid rising prices, corruption scandals and ebbing confidence in his National People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n
His uneasy alliance with a faction of Jammeh\u2019s Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction could unravel.<\/p>\n
The party split in 2021 into a pro-Barrow faction led by National Assembly speaker Fabakary Tombong Jatta and a \u201cNo Alliance\u201d faction loyal to Jammeh.<\/p>\n
In Kanilai, supporters hailed the announcement as \u201cthe return of the real president\u201d.<\/p>\n
For victims of the regime \u2013 including families of those executed, tortured or disappeared \u2013 the prospect of his return without accountability feels like a national betrayal.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, Jammeh\u2019s return without justice would reopen every wound this country has tried to heal,\u201d says Fatoumata Sandeng, daughter of opposition activist Solo Sandeng, whose 2016 torture and killing by state security forces became a rallying point for the movement that swept Barrow to power.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father died fighting for change, and now it feels like that sacrifice is being forgotten. If Jammeh walks free, then what was the point of everything we went through?\u201d<\/p>\n
A regional court takes shape<\/b><\/p>\n
Jammeh\u2019s vow to return comes less than a year after Ecowas leaders approved a Special Tribunal for The Gambia, a hybrid court to prosecute crimes against humanity, torture and other grave abuses committed during his rule.<\/p>\n
The decision \u2013 hailed by UN special rapporteur Bernard Duhaime as \u201ca historic step toward accountability\u201d \u2013 followed years of pressure from civil society and was based on the TRRC\u2019s recommendations naming Jammeh and 68 former officials for prosecution.<\/p>\n
Yet critics say Barrow\u2019s slow, hesitant handling of the TRRC process has drained public trust and emboldened those nostalgic for Jammeh\u2019s authoritarian era.<\/p>\n
