Senegalese soldiers enter Gambia to force Jammeh out

Bynewsplat

Jan 19, 2017
The Senegalese troops have reportedly entered The Gambia in protection
of the just sworn-in Adama Barrow as the president of the country, the
BBC has reported.
This is as the defeated Yahya Jammeh, who until January 19 was the
president, has refused to quit.
The African Union and the ECOWAS have mobilised to force Jammeh out of
office in the face of heightened tension.
The BBC also reported that Barrow has called on soldiers of the
country to show their loyalty to him to ensure a peaceful transition
of power.
He said this as he took an oath of office in neighbouring Senegal.
The United Nations (UN) Security Council also voted on Thursday,
January 19, unanimously backed the Economic Community of West African
States’ (ECOWAS) efforts to force the incumbent Gambia leader to hand
over power.
