The departure of The Gambia’s former President Yahya Jammeh from Banjul 12 days ago, brings to an end a remarkable confrontation between the autocrat and other leaders of West Africa, the African Union, and the United Nations. It also offers important lessons for those seeking to advance the cause of democracy and the rule of law on the continent more generally. As a result, this is a victory for the people of The Gambia, the forces of democracy, and Adama Barrow, who defeated Jammeh in a December 1st national election.
To discuss the challenges and opportunities for his new administration,, we are joined on the line by:
• Jeggan- Grey Johnson: Communications and Advocacy officer with the Africa Governance, Monitoring and Advocacy Project
• Fatou Jagne: West Africa Regional Director Of Human Rights Organisation called Article 19 based in Dakar
