Botswana no longer recognizes Gambia�s Jammeh

A statement from government said: “Following Mr. Yahya Jammeh’s refusal to hand over power to the President-elect Adama Barrow, in accordance with the expressed will of the Gambian people, the Government of Botswana announces that it will no longer recognise Mr. Jammeh as the President of Gambia, together with his Government.” 

Jammeh’s term in office was due to end today after the inauguration of President-elect Adama Barrow but Gambia parliament extended his rule by 90days in the cloud of State of Emergency that was declared on Tuesday.
