A Gambian former beauty queen on Thursday accused former President Yahya Jammeh of raping her to punish her for rejecting his marriage proposal, in evidence to the country's truth and reconciliation commission.

 Speaking calmly through tears in a hearing streamed live on YouTube, former beauty queen Fatou Jallow told how former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh locked her in a room and raped her.

"What he wanted to do was to teach me a lesson, what he wanted to do is manifest his ego,

Yahya Jammeh did not want sex with me or pleasure with me. What he wanted to do was hurt me,

"There were words like 'who do you think you are?', that he is the president and that he gets any woman that he wants,"

“I know it makes people uncomfortable. But it’s OK to be uncomfortable as a society before we shift things around,”
