"The tiny West African country of The Gambia rarely makes international news, but a brewing conflict over presidential election results has thrust it into the spotlight.
In December 2016, Adama Barrow defeated The Gambia’s longtime dictator, Yahya Jammeh, in a presidential election. Jammeh once boasted he would rule for a billion years, so it was surprising when he conceded soon after the results were announced.
Jammeh reverted to form, however, when he reneged several days later, claiming the election results were fraudulent and calling for a new election. The international community widely condemned his backtracking, and regional countries under the Economic Community of West African States umbrella have been unsuccessfully pressuring Jammeh to step down ever since."
