The handover marks a significant step in The Gambia's pursuit of transitional justice, with Manjang facing possible charges of treason, terrorism, murder, and crimes against humanity. His arrest is seen as a major victory for victims of the Jammeh regime, who has been seeking justice for years.
Manjang's capture is also expected to intensify pressure on Equatorial Guinea to extradite Yahya Jammeh, who remains in exile.
The Gambian government has reaffirmed its commitment to justice, accountability, and human rights protection.
The arrest and handover demonstrate the effectiveness of regional cooperation between Gambia and Senegal in addressing cross-border criminal activities and upholding judicial cooperation.
