NIA boss, Ousman Sowe has told the TRRC to try to condemn coups in ‘strongest’ terms in (their) TRRC’s report.
Testifying before the investigation last week, Sowe said coups since independence have ‘regrettably’ led to the violation of the rights of Gambians.
He said: “Following closely the TRRC revelations, given it a historical retrospective reflection, from independence to now, coup d’états, insurrections, attempted coups and failed coups have registered atrocities from 1981 coming to the period under interest that is 1994 to 2016. The failed coups have resulted to regrettable violations.
“I therefore, if permitted, would humbly suggest that the TRRC should recommend in the strongest possible terms and condemn coups, insurrections that are aimed at changing government and any unconstitutional attempts to change government.
“That would be something I would humbly recommend or mention for the kind consideration of the commission in its report.”
