Sources: 17. Developments: 2. The Gambia Reparations Commission has confirmed the receipt of $2,573,414.10 following the sale of a mansion in Potomac, Maryland, formerly owned by ex-President Yahya Jammeh. The funds were recovered through a U.S. civil forfeiture process after authorities determined the property was acquired using “criminal proceeds and misappropriated Gambian public funds”. The money has been deposited into a reparations fund at the Central Bank of The Gambia. These funds are designated for the compensation and rehabilitation of victims who suffered human rights violations during Jammeh’s 22-year rule, which included extrajudicial killings, torture, and forced disappearances. Jammeh, who resides in exile in Equatorial Guinea, was removed from power in 2017. Previous inquiries into his administration suggested he misappropriated more than $300 million and controlled over 100 bank accounts. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: The Gambia to compensate Yahya Jammeh victims using seized US mansion proceeds The Gambia will use over $2.5 million from the sale of Yahya Jammeh’s seized US mansion to compensate victims of human rights abuses committed during his 22-year rule. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-gambia-to-compensate-yahya-jammeh-victims-using-seized-us-mansion-proceeds ### 2026-10-20: The Gambia receives $2.57 million from sale of Yahya Jammeh’s US mansion The Gambia has received over $2.5 million from the sale of former President Yahya Jammeh’s Maryland mansion to fund reparations for victims of human rights abuses committed during his 22-year rule. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/the-gambia-receives-257m-from-sale-of-yahya-jammehs-us-property --- Cite as: The Gambia reparations for Yahya Jammeh victims.
