New President of Gambia, Adama Barrow says he believes that Yahya Jammeh, his predecessor, will relocate to Guinea after handing over power.
In an interview with AP, the new president said he has the plan of return home to take power once the situation is clear.
Barrow, who won the country’s last election, is currently in Senegal as a result of Jammeh’s refusal to cede power.
He took his oath of office in his country’s embassy in Senegal, with the backing of the international community.
“It is not yet confirmed information, but reliable sources are saying he’s leaving today… We believe he’ll go to Guinea, but we are waiting to confirm 100 percent,” Barrow was quoted as saying.
He said he had not yet been given the communique which should spell out the terms of Jammeh’s departure but that
“what is fundamental is that he will live in a foreign country as of now.”
Responding to the online petition that kicked against granting asylum to Jammeh, Barrow said:
“We aren’t talking about prosecution here, we are talking about getting a truth and reconciliation commission.
“Before you can act, you have to get the truth, to get the facts together.”
