The President of the ECOWAS Commission, Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas has vowed to get to the bottom of the murder of 50 African immigrants including Ghanaians in The Gambia. Speaking to Joy News, Dr Chambas said he will personally visit the country and demand answers from President Yahaya Jammeh of The Gambia on the killings. 50 immigrants including 44 Ghanaians were killed in The Gambia under unexplained circumstances two years ago. Dr. Chambas said lack of information and transparency in the case is breeding suspicion and leading to agitation from some Ghanaians against Gambian President Jammeh. Civil society groups and the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) John Mahama have openly criticized both the government of Ghana and The Gambia for their failure to investigate the case. Dr. Chambas told Joy News the agitation should send signals to the Gambian authorities that Ghanaians want to know what happened to their compatriots. He said: “I have undertaken to visit The Gambia to try and understand this problem. But before I do that I will have to listen to the Ghanaian side. To get to the bottom of this matter we have to be very transparent on this issue so that all sides will truly know and appreciate what exactly happened and then we put the blame where it is due.” The ECOWAS Commission boss said for the relationship between Ghana and The Gambia to remain cordial there is the need for the Gambian authorities to act promptly. “I have to admit that I was totally caught on the blind side by this issue. I had discussions with the vice president of Gambia who was here with the foreign minister and told the authorities this is a situation we should try and resolve as soon as possible,” he said.
