He was one of the plotters in the 2014 Gambian coup d'état attempt, and for his role in which he was sentenced to six months imprisonment under the Neutrality Act of 1794. Barrow was appointed as the director of research for the Gambian Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) in August 2018. Early life and educationBarrow was born in Jah Kunda, a hamlet a few miles from Nyakoi in the Upper River Division. He graduated from Nasir Ahmadiya Senior Secondary School in 1993 and moved to Tennessee, United States in 1994.[1] He graduated from Tennessee State University with a major in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. He then graduated from the American Military University in West Virginia with a master's degree in national security studies.[2] CareerBarrow joined the Tennessee Army National Guard in 2001 and was commissioned as an officer in 2008. He was mobilised for deployment in 2003 during the Iraq War, but his unit never ended up deploying. During his time in the National Guard he served as a suicide prevention officer, an illicit drugs prevention officer, a public affairs office, and a career counselor. In January 2014, he left the military, and joined REGAL-BELOIT as an account manager.[1][2] Barrow also worked as an investigator and security consultant in the private sector in the United States, as a justice advocate with the Nashville Juvenile Justice Center, and as an instructor at Vanderbilt University Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC).[2] Barrow played a key role in the 2014 Gambian coup d'état attempt. He purchased at least eight weapons prior to the coup attempt, including three Smith & Wesson rifles from a gun shop near where he lived. In late October 2014, he flew to Dakar to act as an advance man. While in Dakar, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had called Barrow's phone to ask him where he was, but he refused to answer. When the rebel group attacked the State House on 30 December, Barrow was one of three who stayed behind at a safe house. Learning of the failure of the coup attempt, Barrow and the two others left the Gambia and returned to Senegal. After returning to the United States, Barrow was arrested by the FBI and charged under the Neutrality Act of 1794, to which he pleaded guilty.[3] He was sentenced to six months.[4] In August 2018, Barrow was appointed as the director of research at the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) by its secretary, Baba Galleh Jallow. Some objected to his appointment on the grounds that a convicted felon should not hold the role.[5] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.kairabanews.com/uncategorized/who-is-alagie-barrow-the-alleged-gambian-attacker/|title=Who Is Alagie Barrow, The Alleged Gambian Attacker|last=|first=|date=6 March 2015|work=Kairaba News|access-date=20 August 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Barrow, Alagie}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://foroyaa.gm/alagie-barrow-is-trrc-director-of-research-investigations/|title=Alagie Barrow Is TRRC Director Of Research, Investigations|last=|first=|date=10 August 2018|work=Foroyaa|access-date=20 August 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/03/lets-take-back-our-country/426852/|title=‘Let’s Go Take Back Our Country’|last=Reid|first=Stuart A.|date=March 2016|work=The Atlantic|access-date=20 August 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/coup-attempt-in-the-gambia|title=Coup Attempt in The Gambia|last=|first=|date=13 October 2017|website=Federal Bureau of Investigation|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=20 August 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://gambianewstoday.com/gambia-the-gambian-constitution-gave-alagie-barrow-the-right-to-pick-up-arms-to-overthrow-jammehs-govt-american-laws-do-not-apply-in-gambia-trcs-baba-galleh-jallow-2/|title=GAMBIA: THE GAMBIAN CONSTITUTION GAVE ALAGIE BARROW, THE RIGHT TO PICK UP ARMS TO OVERTHROW JAMMEH’S GOV’T; AMERICAN LAWS DO NOT APPLY IN GAMBIA-TRC’S BABA GALLEH JALLOW!|last=M’Bai|first=Pa Nderry|date=14 August 2018|work=Gambia News Today|access-date=20 August 2018}} 6 : Living people|Tennessee State University alumni|Tennessee National Guard personnel|People from Upper River Division|Gambian expatriates in the United States|Year of birth missing (living people) |
