Gambia’s president leaves the power after weeks of refusal
Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh
Banjul - Arab Today
Due to the increasing pressure, Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh decided to leave the power after weeks of refusal.
Jammeh refused to leave the power in his country despite his loss in the recent elections
He said, in a televised speech on early Saturday, “I have decided today in good conscience to relinquish the mantle of leadership of this great nation with infinite gratitude to all Gambians."
The announcement came after hours of last-ditch talks with regional leaders and the threat by a regional military force to make him leave.
The new president, Adama Barrow, had earlier declared that "the rule of fear" was over and that Jammeh, who ruled the country for 22 years, had agreed to leave.
