Major Amadou Suwareh, yesterday testified as the 2nd witness in the ongoing TRRC hearing at Dunes Hotel in Kololi.
The witness told the Commission his relationship with the then junta leader before the coup and the role he played in the 1994 coup-de-etat.
Mr. Suwareh said he was an instructor at the training School where he knew Yahya Jammeh and later became his company clerk at the Barracks.
He said Yahya Jammeh runs his errands as he usually cleans his booth and brew attaya for him.
The witness disclosed that Yahya Jammeh was strong headed who has problem with discipline with his senior officers.
Major Suwareh further disclosed that Yahya Jammeh usually spend more than the normal time of 8/9 hours of work with him and they used to call each other joking names. He said he would be calling Yahya Jammeh his son and Yahya Jammeh would be calling him his son too.

I'm not sure how much will be resolved by the Truth Commission.
