The Gambia has received $2.57 million from the United States following the sale of a mansion owned by former president Yahya Jammeh, with the proceeds earmarked for victims of abuses committed during his 22-year rule.
The Gambia Reparations Commission said on Tuesday it had received the funds recovered from the forfeiture and sale of the property in Potomac, Maryland, an affluent suburb of Washington, DC.
