Gambians say they are hopeful of change under new President Adama Barrow, who was welcomed by thousands of people upon his return to the country after his predecessor Yahya Jammeh fled into exile.

Gambia's ex-president Yahya Jammeh flew into exile last year, leaving a fleet of presidential planes and luxury cars as a memento of more than two decades in power. Now the government is looking to sell the former autocrat's assets to raise millions of dollars for health and education projects in the dirt-poor nation.

Nigerian and other West African countries are preparing a joint force to intervene militarily in Gambia if President Yahya Jammeh does not hand over power, a Nigerian military source said on Tuesday. Vincent Makori interviews Tamsir Jasseh, Founder of Gambia Association for Peace and Reconciliation.

Leading opposition candidate in The Gambia Ousainou Darboe says he would go to court if necessary to challenge the presidential election results and calls on his supporters to remain calm, citing the ongoing tourist season.

Taking a resolute stance, President Adama Barrow of The Gambia has undertaken a significant measure to address the prevailing financial crisis within the country. In a move characterized by its determination, he has instituted a comprehensive prohibition on foreign travel for government officials, including himself.

The announcement of this crucial decision was made by the government's spokesperson, Ebrima Sankareh. Sankareh communicated that President Barrow enacted an executive order that effectively halts all foreign trips by government officials, allowing only a few carefully delineated exceptions. This policy, which reflects a commitment to fiscal prudence, is slated to remain in effect throughout the entirety of the present fiscal year.

As Africa's smallest nation, The Gambia holds the 174th position on the United Nations' Human Development Index. This context underscores the magnitude of the economic challenges the nation faces. Presently grappling with an inflation rate of 11.6%, The Gambia witnesses more than a fifth of its populace struggling to subsist on a daily income of less than two dollars.

President Barrow's bold step in curtailing foreign travel among government officials reflects a dedicated effort to navigate the complexities of the financial crisis while prioritizing the welfare of the country's citizens.

Jammeh lost in the presidential elections last December but has refused to concede to Adama Barrow, whose inauguration is supposed to happen on Thursday.

Thousands of Gambians and tourists have decided to leave the country.

Gambian President Adama Barrow earlier this week launched his own political party in the capital, Banjul, confirming what political watchers had predicted for the West African country.

The move frees him from the coalition that helped him win the presidency three years ago in the country. The coalition achieved a shock victory over long serving Yahya Jammeh, currently exiled in Equatorial Guinea.

The president has formally registered the new party, the National People's Party (NPP), with the I…
