Barrow is still in Senegal, all of the Gambia awaits his return home.

Jammeh flew out of the capital Banjul on Saturday and into exile after stepping down from power, witnesses and mediators said.

The authoritarian leader took power in a 1994 coup – but stepped down in the face of pressure from West African armies that entered Gambia to force him to recognise that he lost an election in December to Adama Barrow.

In a midnight broadcast on state television after weeks of negotiation, Jammeh pledged to make way for Barrow.

The Guinean president, Alpha Condé, and the UN’s regional chief, Mohammed Ibn Chambas, had remain in the capital, and a regional force was positioned in the country, ready to move in if Jammeh changed his mind and again refused to cede power.
