Jammeh's era is over--Barrow
Adama Barrow, the man expected to be sworn in today as Gambia’s new president, has declared Alhaji Yahya Jammeh’s era over.
“My dearest Gambians —
the presidency of Yahya Jammeh is officially over. The new era of Gambia is
here at last“, Barrow wrote on his Twitter handle this morning.
Barrow, going by the
vows of West African leaders, is expected to be sworn in today. Where it will
be done, is yet unclear as Jammeh ignored military threats and stay put in
Banjul, refusing to step down.
The country’s national
stadium was initially the choice venue for the swearing in. But Barrow’s
spokesman Halifa Sallah said he would be sworn in an undisclosed location.
Mauritanian President
Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz who initiated a last minute effort to break the
political deadlock by visiting Jammeh on Wednesday said Jammeh was adamant
about hanging on to power.
Mr Abdel Aziz flew in
to the Gambian capital Banjul on Wednesday evening to meet Mr Jammeh before
flying on to Dakar airport for further discussions with Mr Barrow and Senegal’s
President Macky Sall.
Aziz left Gambia
shortly before midnight, when Gambian leader Yahya Jammeh’s presidential
mandate expired, according to a Reuters correspondent.
After the talks, Aziz’s
plane left Dakar at about 1:45 a.m.(0145 GMT), a Reuters witness said. Aziz
spoke with Barrow and Sall at the airport in Dakar. About 30 vehicles with
tinted windows then sped away from where the talks took place.
“I am now less
pessimistic that Mr Jammeh will work on a peaceful solution that is in the best
interest for everyone,” Mr Abdel Aziz said.
