The whereabouts of former president Yahya Jammeh is unknown as military forces of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) crossed from Senegal into Gambia.

This is coming hours after President Adama Barrow was sworn into office, the African Press Agency reported Thursday.

Long convoys of military vehicles with armed soldiers entered the troubled nation through the border town of Karang, resident Abdoulie Bah told dpa.

The troops are expected to search for long-term ruler Yahya Jammeh, who refuses to give up power despite losing the Dec. 1, 2016 presidential election to Barrow.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres expressed his “deep concern” about Jammeh’s refusal to step aside.
The UN Security Council voted unanimously to back Barrow and called for a peaceful transition of power.
The resolution called on former president Jammeh “to carry out a peaceful and orderly transition process,” and to transfer power to Barrow in accordance with the Gambian constitution.

It also supported ECOWAS “in its commitment to ensure the respect of the will of the people … as expressed in the results of the December 1 elections.”
Earlier on Thursday, Barrow was sworn in as Gambian president in neighbouring Senegal, after weeks of political impasse caused by Jammeh’s refusal to accept the election result.

“This is a day no Gambian will ever forget,” said Barrow after he was sworn into office by the president of the Gambia Bar Association, Sherif Tambedou, at Gambia’s embassy in Senegal’s capital, Dakar.

Barrow promised to work towards national unity and establish good governance through “comprehensive” constitutional and legal reforms.

“We will now build a Gambia where what you know counts more than who you know,” Barrow said in a promise to end decades of nepotism and corruption.
Barrow’s inauguration came after an escalating political standoff triggered by Jammeh’s rejection of the election results.

Barrow had been scheduled to be inaugurated in Gambia, but the ceremony was jeopardised by Jammeh’s refusal to give up power. He is Gambia’s third president since independence from British rule in 1965.
During his inaugural speech, Barrow asked Gambia’s security forces to remain loyal to the constitution and commanded all soldiers to remain in their barracks.
Armed soldiers found outside their barracks would be regarded as “rebels,” the newly sworn-in president said.
The call for peace comes after Barrow had to flee for security reasons to Dakar on Saturday, after multiple attempts by West African leaders to convince Jammeh, who ruled Gambia for 22 years, to step down failed.
Jammeh’s whereabouts were unknown on Thursday.

So he is lily-livered after all the bragado

---

African leaders and their constituted authority

there must be a motivation behind this united front against Jammeh, all this "...he must hand over power to the duly elected barrow" na cover up. something sinister is behind this.

Everyone knows he'd run away at the end, but in my opinion the new president should just let him be

Pls check out my signature for quality and durable furniture

You have enjoyed power for 24 years , why not just let it slide

Am reali surprise evry1 is tinkin in dsame direction on dis issue...

I tink there's more to it for him not to hand over d power to marrow cos he has tink ahead wat is gonna apen to him and his cabinet after handing over taking Nigeria situation as an example...

There are som pple dat is gonna talk to him and ask him if he's out of his mind for accepting defeat jst lik dat cos if he does his cabinets might b facing same tin Jonathan's cabinet is facing now but wit all d drama he played now i dnt tink d present govt will be able to do any witch hunt again

Rubbish news...did they reach the Villa and them no see am there?

Mbanu! Make him come fight nah. The Gambian army are very smart to have made an announcement they will jejely surrender and not fight once the ECOWAS arrive.

I knew he will run away when the time reach.

Coward
With all his actions, I thought he preferred the gbagbo treatment instead of being a hero like uncle Jonathan
