Gambia is a sovereign state and if it's parliament actually extended Jammeh's tenure using force to remove him though morally right would be out of place.

Case settled, since a legistive order has increased his tenure, then ECOWAS should allow a sovereign nation solve her own problem,using a millitary action will only amount to waste of tax payers fund,majority of wc will be borne by Nigeria and above all an avoidable loss of lifes and properties.

Is it your 25% from south-east and south-south that will make Buhari to lose in 2019?

This resolution is unnecessary and stupid. So the lawmakers are still in the country undecided I pity their epic foolishness. They are surely in their 'injury time'. The smart ones won't be involved in this shenanigans. Ask the ministers who resigned.

What is inconclusive about the election?
Where were you when Yameh conceded and congratulated Barrow?

By cancelling the election result it still remains inconclusive. If he had not rejected the result it would have been conclusive.
Re: Breaking News: Gambia Mps Extend President Jammeh's Term by Kx: 12:10pm On Jan 18, 2017
The people have expressed their wishes through the ballot box.

That must be respected. Every backyard vote of the mps to thwart the choice already made through the ballot box is null and void.

Why should the choice of the mps stand while the result of the votes which in the first place came before the mps 3 months extensionn vote stand?

Re: Breaking News: Gambia Mps Extend President Jammeh's Term by Nobody: 5:58pm On Jan 18, 2017
its not a matter of how long he has ruled but how well he has ruled, Jammeh has created ease for the people of Gambia and this has caused frustration to the west. the same thing happened in libya after a good term by Gaddaffi, pls where is Libya today, i hope same will not happen in Gambia. i doubt that.

Resolution passed by the National Assembly allows Jammeh to stay in power for three more months, state media says.

Yahya Jammeh has been in power for more than 20 years [Reuters]

The Gambia's National Assembly has adopted a resolution to allow President Yahya Jammeh to stay in power for three more months, starting from Wednesday, according to state television.

Jammeh, who has ruled The Gambia for 22 years, initially acknowledged opponent Adama Barrow as the winner of elections in December, but later rejected the ballot count as flawed and lodged a complaint with the country's Supreme Court.

Barrow is due to be inaugurated on Thursday.

Jammeh had declared a state of emergency on Tuesday, just days before he was due to step down, with British and Dutch travel agencies scrambling to evacuate thousands of tourists on Wednesday.

Waste of time. Jammeh and his deluded members of parliament cannot truncate the wish of the majority of Gambians expressed through the ballot box.
