The Republic of Gambia or “The Gambia” as they like to be referred to, is a tiny West African nation, surrounded by Senegal and follows the Gambia river. With a newly elected president, Adama Borrow, sworn in yesterday the sitting president, Yaha Jammeh, has refused to leave office.
Troops from Senegal and other West African nations have moved into The Gambia and have given Jammeh a final deadline today before forcibly removing him and his followers from office.
Jammeh became The Gambia’s second president in 1996 and had won re-election three times before finally being defeated by Borrow last month. He has a checkered past of kidnapping the opposition, shooting student protestors, assassinating members of the press and conducting witch doctor trials.
Update: Jammeh missed his 2nd deadline to leave office today, but indications are the military is not willing to die to fight for him to stay in office. His tenure as The Gambia’s president is going to end soon.
Whew! Until a few hours ago I was afraid of the same thing happening here.
No kidding.
Now onto the parade. How many knuckleheads will require a beat Down?
“…indications are the military is not willing to die to fight for him to stay in office.”
Of course they’re not, Jimi Jammeh. That’s why you need a Civilian National Security Force that’s just as strong as the military. Even Obammeh figured that out.
Typical negro bullshit. This is what Obama’s BLM base wanted him to do.
I had a good friend from Gambia thirty years ago. Alieu Njie made a wicked spicy fish stew. He never called it “The Gambia”. This must be some recent affectation decreed by the same guy who won’t go away now.
I almost wrote the post saying “The borders of The Gambia thrust aggressively into its neighbor Senegal, deeply piercing the West African nation for up to 200 miles along the narrow channels of the Gambia river. The tight fit, indicated by the deep penetration into its neighbor suggests a mutually enjoyable relationship between the nations who share a steamy and wet sub-Saharan climate.”
But I thought it too suggestive.
Obozo got an uncle in Gambia by any chance?
Dr. Tar- LOL. You so nasteh! 😀
