Last December Gambia, the small West African country has held a general election. The result of the election came in favor of the opposition leader Adama Barrow. Following the election, the incumbent president Yahya Jammeh, who governed the country for 22 years has conceded and accepted the result. But he has changed his mind later on and refused to step down. Today is supposed to be the inauguration of the president elect. However, the process didn’t go as planned because of the refusal of Mr. Jammeh to leave power. Some of the leaders of the Economic Community of West Africa Countries (ECOWAS) have tried to convince Mr. Jammeh to concede the result. ECOWAS leaders gave Jammeh a deadline that ended today, to cede power or face military action.

The president elect has sworn in, later today, in the Gambian embassy in Senegal. Meanwhile media reports from the region indicated that ECOWAS’s troops already crossed the borders between Senegal and Gambia to secure some of the neighboring cities and on their ways to the capital city Banjul. So far there is no news about resistance from the Gambian armed forces. The Nigerian air forces acted to secure that Gambian air space.

Yes, the Senegalese armed forces crossed the boarder and have been seen near the capital city Banjul. No report of resistance from the Gambian armed forces, which tells that no much support for Jammeh from the army. ECOWAS leaders gave Jammeh until noon today to relinquish power. Otherwise the troops will attach the presidential residence where he lives

Yep ya frda
Finally he agreed to cede power and move to one of the neighboring countries as reported by BBC in the recent news cycle. I hope we see peaceful and democratic change in Sudan in the coming future. Cheers and greetings
