Former President Yahya Jammeh has decided to go on exile away from his country after stepping down for President Adama Barrow.
President Yahya Jammeh
Gambia’s former President, Yahya Jammeh will now leave Banjul on
Saturday with President Alpha Conde of Guinea, to begin a new life in
exile, according to reports.
The decision was reached following long hours of discussion with
Guinea President, Alpha Conde and Mauritania’s President Mohamed Ould
Abdel Aziz.
The two West African leaders travelled to Banjul to persuade the
long ruling Jammeh to leave peacefully before West African forces
pounced on him.
In a statement issued on state TV on Friday night, Jammeh announced
that he was stepping down, a superfluous announcement as he was already
no more the leader, having been denied recognition by the world.
It is now believed that Jammeh will be going into exile in Guinea.
A senior adviser to new President Adama Barrow said talks to finalise the exile deal were holding up his exit.
“I can assure you that he has agreed to leave,” Mai Ahmad Fatty, Barrow’s special advisor, said in Senegal’s capital Dakar. He could not say where Jammeh would go into exile.
President of The Gambia, Adama Barrow had earlier confirmed Yahya Jammeh’s stepping down.
Barrow, on his twitter handle on Friday, @adama_barrow said: “I would like to inform you that Yahya Jammeh has agreed to step down.
“He is scheduled to depart Gambia today. #NewGambia.”
Barrow on Thursday took the oath of office as Gambia’s new president.
He was sworn-in about 5p.m. Senegalese time at the Gambian High Commission in Dakar, Senegal.
Barrow succeeded Yahya Jammeh, who lost in the Dec. 1 presidential
election and refused to vacate office when his term expired midnight on
Thursday.
Gambia’s Chief of Defence, Ousman Badjie, on Friday pledged loyalty to President Barrow.
“West African troops that crossed from neighbouring Senegal
into Gambia to help unseat Jammeh would be welcomed “with a cup of
tea,’’ said Badjie.
ECOWAS armies halted Operation Restore Democracy aimed at
installing the country’s new president, Adama Barrow, on Thursday so
regional leaders could make one last attempt to convince long-time ruler
Yahya Jammeh to step aside.
According to a report by Punch, the Nigerian force Commander,
Operation Restore Democracy, Air Commodore Tajudeen Yusuf, said the
ECOWAS forces would not let down their guard, inspite of negotiations
for the former Gambian president, Alhaji Yahaya Jammeh to leave office.
He said the troops were awaiting briefing by the political leaders.
Yusuf made the statement while briefing newsmen in Dakar, on Friday.
“”Even if he quits we are not letting down our guard, our mandate is to restore peace in Gambia.
“”We have been on standby, and the troops are still on a very high alert, depending on the outcome of political negotiations.
“”We are not letting down our guard; our mandate is to restore democracy in Gambia,’’ Yusuf said.
