The Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) gained control of Gambia in July 1994, in a military coup d'état. The AFPRC deposed the Dawda Jawara government and banned opposition political activity. Lieutenant Yahya Jammeh, chairman of the AFPRC, became head of state. A few months later, Captain Sadibou Hydara, who was the spokesperson of the AFPRC, and Captain Sabali, deputy leader of the AFPRC, were accused by Jammeh of plotting a coup. Both men were arrested and detained at the maximum prison. Captain Hydara was tortured and killed in prison. It was believed that Captain Hydara who was the most educated among the original members of the AFPRC was in favor of returning the country to civilian rule, and strongly objected to Jammeh's candidacy.

  • Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) ist der Name der Militärjunta und Übergangsregierung, die am 22. Juli 1994 durch einen unblutigen Putsch die Staatsgewalt im westafrikanischen Staat Gambia übernommen hatte. Die vier jungen Armeeoffiziere der Gambia National Army wurden von dem 29-jährigen Leutnant Yahya Jammeh angeführt. Sie stürzten die Regierung Dawda Jawara mit der Begründung, die ihr vorgeworfene ausgedehnte Korruption und undemokratische Regierung zu beenden. Ein fünfter Offizier, Leutnant Yankuba Touray, stieß kurz nach dem Putsch zu der Gruppe hinzu und übernahm auch einen Ministerposten. Nach einer Verlautbarung im Oktober 1994 sollte ursprünglich der ausgerufene Ausnahmezustand bis 1998 gehalten werden, es wurden aber bereits 1996 Präsidentschaftswahlen durchgeführt, aus denen Jammeh mit seiner neu gegründeten Partei Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC) siegreich hervorging und die Regierungsgeschäfte als Staatspräsident von Gambia fortführte.

It was believed that Captain Hydara who was the most educated among the original members of the AFPRC was in favor of returning the country to civilian rule, and strongly objected to Jammeh's candidacy. The AFPRC announced a transition plan for return to democratic civilian rule. The Provisional Independent Electoral Commission (PIEC) was established in 1996 to conduct national elections. The transition process included the compilation of a new electoral register; adoption of a new constitution by referendum in August of that year; presidential elections in September of that year and legislative elections in January 1997, respectively. Colonel Jammeh retired from the Army to run for president. Jammeh won the elections and was sworn into office as President of the Gambia on November 6, 1996. The PIEC was transformed into the Independent Electoral Commission on April 17, 1997; this commission deals with voter registration and the holding of elections and referendums. (en)
  • Conselho de Governo Provisório das Forças Armadas (em inglês: Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council, AFPRC) é uma junta militar e governo de transição que assumiu o controle da Gâmbia em julho de 1994 após um golpe militar. Os quatro oficiais do Exército, liderados pelo Tenente Yahya Jammeh, depuseram o governo de Dawda Jawara com a justificativa de acabar com a extensa corrupção e com um governo não democrático. A junta proibiu a atividade política da oposição. O tenente Yahya Jammeh, presidente do Conselho de Governo Provisório das Forças Armadas, tornou-se chefe de Estado. Alguns meses depois, o capitão , que era porta-voz da junta, e o capitão Sabali, vice-líder, foram acusados por Jammeh de conspirar um golpe de Estado e foram presos. O capitão Hydara foi torturado e morto na prisão. O Conselho de Governo Provisório das Forças Armadas anunciaria um plano de transição para o regresso ao regime civil democrático. A Comissão Eleitoral Provisória Independente (CEPI) foi criada em 1996 para conduzir as eleições nacionais. O processo de transição incluiu a compilação de um novo cadastro eleitoral; a adoção de uma nova constituição por referendo em agosto do mesmo ano; eleições presidenciais em setembro daquele ano e eleições legislativas em janeiro de 1997, respectivamente. O Coronel Jammeh se reformou do exército para concorrer à presidência. Jammeh venceria as eleições e foi nomeado presidente da Gâmbia em 6 de novembro de 1996. (pt)
