The agency and capability of diasporans in impacting political and socioeconomic development in the homeland is gaining more and more currency over the years. Their involvement in homeland conflicts and transitional justice processes is also attracting attention. However, while the literature on transitional justice is burgeoning, there is less systematic research on the role of diasporans as critical agents in transitional justice processes in the homeland in the aftermath of authoritarian regimes in Africa, as compared to periods after bloody civil wars and conflicts. In bitterly divided countries in Africa such as Sierra Leone, Liberia,Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, transitional justice mechanisms such as truth and reconciliation commissions and tribunals were adopted to address the justice and reconciliation needs of citizens after years of bloody civil war or conflict. This research intends to fill this gap and add to existing knowledge about Gambian diaspora role and potential in the democratic transition in the country from 2017-2022, and how they have engaged with civil society organisations to move the process. Using a qualitative methodology; in-depth interviews, the thesis asks wha trole the Gambian diaspora play in the transitional justice process in the country the past five years to enhance democratic transition. To conduct the analysis, the thesis draws on the social movement, transitional justice, conflict resolution and peacebuilding literature to show that Gambian diaspora’s strong bonds, ties and attachment to the homeland influence their interest to engage and participate in the transitional justice process in the homeland.
