The coalition of African forces assigned to militarily force Yahya Jammeh out of The Gambia’s presidency after failed talks to hand over power to the newly sworn in president, Adama Barrow as his tenure expires Thursday, has been suspended.
The decision was reached to enable the ECOWAS team meet again with Jammeh in a final talk session to appeal to him to step down for the new president to take over realms of leadership in the tiny West Africa country.
Talks will be led by Guinean president Alpha Condé in Banjul on Friday (today) morning, said Marcel Alain de Souza, head of the Economic Community of West African States.
“If by midday, he doesn’t agree to leave The Gambia under the banner of President Condé, we really will intervene militarily,” he added.
Recall that Adama Barrow was sworn in Thurssay as Gambia’s new president in Senegal.
