Senegal, a neighbouring country to Gambia has given President Yahaya Jammeh till midnight to step down otherwise military action would be engaged to oust him. To make true the warning, Senegalese troops have been seen moving towards the Gambian border in what seams a show of might to further signal to Jammeh he would be ousted militarily if he refuses to step down.

“Our troops are on alert… The ultimatum takes effect at midnight,” when Jammeh’s mandate is due to expire, army spokesman Colonel Abdou Ndiaye said. “If a political solution fails, we will engage” in operations in The Gambia, he said, confirming that troops were heading to the border. Recall that the Gambian parliament has extended Jammeh’s stay in office for another 90 days, a move that has further added fuel to Jammeh’s clinching to the country’s presidential seat eventhough Wednesday is supposed to be his final day in office as the Gambian president.

However, Nigerian Government has equally sent in some air, naval and will also send ground troops to join forces with the Senegalese troops to ensure President-elect, Adama Barrow is installed as The Gambia’s President on Thursday. Also, The U.N has equally backed the West African nations in the bid to ensure either a peaceful handover in The Gambia or use military force to archieve same should
Jammeh insist on clinching to power. Jammeh who had called Barrow to concede defeat after losing in the December 1, 2016 election held in the country later made a volte face, refusing to accept the outcome of the election and has since voiced strongly that he would not allow the President-elect, Barrow installed as the country’s president unless a fresh election is conducted. He claimed many of the Gambian citizens were disenfranchised.

Jammeh has been the country’s president since taking power in a bloodless coup in 1994.

Meanwhile, thousands of Gambians have fled the country while UK and Dutch tourists are being evacuated from the tiny West African state, which is popular with European holidaymakers because of its beaches.

I still keep on wondering why most of the African leaders are so selfish and greedy.. After ruling for 22 years, this yeye man still not want to leave power..

He keeps on saying Allah says.. Ecowas should just give him gbagbo's treatment

useless man

The native doctor that's deceiving this man did same thing to Gbagbo and Gadafi.
Only Senegal can even handle him no need for Nigeria, Ghana etc

The greatest lesson in history is that people don't learn from history

Chai. Abeg how can we kidnap Jammeh's pilot before he escapes. He needs to stay to face the music

OK na... A word is enough for the wise

Just one brave soldier, One Bullet to the back of the head, Jammeh is gone, lives and property are saved and a HERO is made.

Even senegal dey form USA too oh.... Wahala dey oh

If na u nkor!

If i ever behave like Jammeh and my wife and kids do not poison me into a very long deep sleep and hand me over to the opposition, I will never forgive them. I would have said poison to death but I won't want them to have murder linked to their names. Madam Jammeh, this is the time to save yourself and your children or die with him. See what happened to Gaddafi's kids and Saadam's sons. Save yourself and your children and let your obdurate husband die alone. Love no reach for death and humiliation o!

This is abuse of sovereignty.


In as much as he must step down, sovereignty of each nation must be respected.

See his black face like kiwi Polish,

Gbam!!!

Jammeh be like, GEJ see wetin you cause .

O da bi wipe ori Macky Sall ti yi sha. Does he want to trample on the constitution of the independent and sovereign state of the Gambia, or can this people not see that Jammeh is covered by the constitution of his country?

ECOWAS leave Jammeh alone!!!

At least, Africa is making real attempts to deal with this impasses by herself. Let us see how this ends.
