He is not wise. African leader always know how to negotiate their bad past and will never go to jail no matter what. All will likely be media trial and he would always know his way out because no one is clean among them.

This issue concerns them if Gambia is a signatory to un and even if they are not the issue can cause bloodshed so it needs every possible intervention

I didn't say it doesn't concern them but they have set precedence simple ..Why didnt they do this during the Ivory Coast fiasco .

The outcome isn't farfetched.The Gambia is one of the smallest countries in mainland Africa.About 1.9 million people.800 soldiers.No wonder Nigeria sent 800 soldiers there.Their forces will be overrun in no time.

See what this foolish Jammeh has caused;;; he has set a precedence for the UN legitimising African govts instead of their constitution.

Nope. The UN didn't legitimise Adama Barrow's presidency. UN only recognised the legitimate government of Gambia in accordance with Gambian constitution.

This is the same way the UN is going to recognise Donald Trump as POTUS once he is sworn in tomorrow.

In the Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara wasn't sworn in until Gbagbo was arrested and locked up so the UN couldn't have recognised a government that was yet to be sworn in. However as soon as Ouattara was sworn in, the UN, AU & ECOWAS recognised him as the legitimate leader of Ivory Coast immediately.

Simple congratulations would have saved him all these drama.
This is why Africa will always find it difficult to grow. Our elites are so wicked , greedy, power drunk and selfish. They will never want anything that will make their subordinate to advance.
See what a greedy heart of a tyrant has caused everyone. Wasted funds for military logistics, many business owners might have lost alot, many citizens might have died due to tension. Many expatriates have hurriedly left despite unscheduled travelling.
Just acceptance of defeat, I mean just congratulations phone calls and step aside would have made him go and enjoy his loot. Now he will loose all, I mean all.
The Bible is right when he said he who try to save his life will loose it. I am sorry for his family especially his wife boosting that he has her support last week. From next few months now, she will see the difference.

Agrred with your post until the last sentence!

you are sorry for his family ke? Did Abacha's family tell you they are suffering? ...or Babangida's family? Mobutu? Samuel Doe? Mugabe? Ex-Dictators suffering is different from poor man's suffering o!

Legitimacy comes from the Constitution of the people of Gambia and not any international agency.

Next time, before any African Dictator conducts an election, he would suspend his membership of AU, and the UN.

In any case, Jammeh is an unwanted nuisance and he should be booted out.

irrespective of his membership of the UN, the whole "civilized" world can come together and determine that the president has over-stayed his welcome, once the people VOTED HIM OUT.............. and he would be removed, by force if necessary.

Jammeh himself has "condemned himself" when he accepted the result, congratulated the President-elect .......... only to wake-up and make a U-Turn!

It is just unthinkable that ther eis something he thinks he wanna do, that he had not been able to do in 22years of being in power.

But if you look closely, HIS WIFE is probably at the root of his stubbornness.
Recall that Mama Piss was isolated for a long time, till Jonathan was forced to make that "acceptance speech that was broadcasted"?
And those in the know will tell you that she was very furious, insisting that Jonathan should not have accepted defeat and for some weeks after, she was angry at Jonathan.

That is how powerful women are and a man needs to be firm in his decisions, not allowing their women to goad them into 'dangerous situations', just like Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast

That is one of the reasons l admire Buhari

Very valid points you have there mate. Even till today, I doubt if she has forgiven him.

However, I think Jammeh is being remotely controlled by some forces that wish him totally destroyed. Since his army chief declined fighting the AU Forces, I guess Jammeh is.going to fight them by himself.

The world need a new United Nation, not this biased and one sided UN. Why is the same United Nation refusing to intervene in the Niger delta area of Nigeria when Buhari and his northern apologist have been oppressing the Good people of the Niger delta.

The same United Nation have turned indigene of Bakassi refugee in their own land courtesy of a world court judgement that former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo wrongly agreed to go to court without the senate authorization only to loose a Nigerian territory to Cameroun.

The same United Nation turned blind eyes to the activities of african dictators that have overstayed their welcome like President Paul Biya of Cameroun, Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

When MKO Abiola won the 1993 Presidential Election the same United Nation kept quiet and allow Abacha to lock up Abiola leading to his untimely death.

The United Nation is fake and they practise double standard. The Mr Barrow that Buhari, Ecowas leaders and the United Nation are clamouring for to get to power may get to power today and tomorrow he will change to a dictator and start misbehaving. Are we not aware that absolute power corrupt absolutely.

Buhari that is claiming to be a democrat has ruined the Nigeria economy within a short space of time far worst than what former President Jonathan did. No wonder a man like Trump refused to invite Buhari to his inauguration.

Trump know that Buhari is an islamic fundamentalist and a die hard fulani stubborn man who has not added value to the Nigerian economy.

Now Buhari has abandoned governance, handover power to Osinbanjo and he is embarking on a short vacation to London probably to secretly take medical treatment in the United Kingdom.But Buhari has not work for the Nigerian state to deserve such a rest. He had only ruin the economy without any tangible growth of the economy.

Nigerians are waiting for Buhari in 2019 to decide his future!

Botswana of all countries that's like a family business? It's like a case of pot calling kettle black. cheesy

Their president has been in power for God knows how long and he took over from his father. His brothers and Uncles are the country's chiefs.

I'm sure if and when he decides to step down, another family member will continue from where he stopped.

The thing is, the citizens aren't complaining anyways.

THE MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN :

I just pity this country. I think it's really time for revolution. The people against the government. Make we kukuma destroy the country start over again. It's too much sef. Every time from frying pan to fire. Weda it's apc or pdp i don't give a hoot. I don't even think there is any political divide in this country. They are all one body acting a script. These same people who bash each other have their secret place of meeting where they strategize for their next move. It's time for we as a people in unity to fight this government and oust all of them. Very incompetent set of people in leadership positions. I watched a movie yesterday "Snowden" in that movie it wasn't even the fact that America is spying on the whole world that got my attention. It's the level of intelligence these people have. I was baffled. As it is, america is already in the future while Africa is still trying to copy their past. 
I get sick to my stomach when i see how our youths who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow let themselves to be used as pawns by these politicians for their selfish gains. 
It is time to take OUR country back! 
It's not Apc or PDP who owns the country. It's you and i. Trust me. Even if leadership changes hands it's still going to continue like this or even worst. The political system needs to be purged. 
Lets start making the noise! 

REVOLUTION!!! 
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!! 
Lets kick off this trend. 
I'm ready to give my life for this course i swear!
