Yahya Jammeh of Gambia might be forcefully disgraced out of office if the final negotiation fails today.
President Yahya Jammeh
According to BBC News, Dakar correspondent, Thomas Fessy, Yahya
Jammeh is 'highly likely to leave for Conakry today' following the
arrival of the Presidents of Guinea, Alpha Condé and Mauritania, Mohamed
Ould Abdel Aziz on a final push to persuade him to peacefully
relinquish power.
The Ecowas deadline for Jammeh to leave has been extended to allow for this last negotiation.
A source revealed to Fessy that Jammeh is "highly likely" to leave
for Conakry today. People lined up waving and chanting "peace".
The deadline for Yahya Jammeh to relinquish power has now passed.
But Reuters news agency says Ecowas Regional West African forces
will wait for talks between Yahya Jammeh and the Mauritanian and Guinean
presidents to take place before resuming their military operation to
force Jammeh out of office.
Meanwhile a BBC correspondent says that a Mauritanian Airlines
plane used by the president has now landed at Banjul International
Airport.
