Gambian President Adama Barrow arrives at Banjul International Airport in Banjul, Gambia on January 26, 2017.
By African Bulletin on January 27, 2017
Thousands of people lined the streets of Gambia’s capital on Thursday to welcome home the new President days after authoritarian leader Yahya Jammeh fled into exile under pressure from regional forces.
“A new page in Gambian history is being turned,” said Mohamed Ibn Chambas, U.N. Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel, who helped negotiate Jammeh’s exit, shortly before accompanying Barrow to Banjul.
Barrow’s surprise ballot box victory and the determination of Western and African countries to uphold it is being celebrated as a moment of democratic hope for Africa.
