His capture marks a major step in the pursuit of justice for victims of past abuses.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Information, arrangements are underway for Manjang\u2019s repatriation to The Gambia, where he will face legal processing in accordance with the law. The government emphasized that the stability, peace, and security of the country remained a top priority and would not be compromised.<\/p>\n<p>The press release highlighted the strong cooperation between The Gambia and Senegal, describing the arrest as a testament to the countries\u2019 commitment to regional security and accountability. The Ministry also reaffirmed the government\u2019s dedication to justice and protection of human rights for all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Officials described Manjang\u2019s capture as both a symbolic and practical victory in holding perpetrators of past abuses accountable. Analysts note that this development may serve as a deterrent to other fugitives who remain at large and reinforce the TRRC\u2019s mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry assures the public that updates on the repatriation process and subsequent legal proceedings will be provided, and called on citizens to continue supporting the rule of law and national reconciliation efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
