Gambia crisis ends as Yahya Jammeh leaves for exile

After 22 years in power, Gambia's former ruler Yahya Jammeh has left the country, ending a political crisis that lasted for more than a month.

The ex-president lost a presidential election to opposition leader Adama Barrow in December. After initially accepting the result, he then refused to step down, prompting neighbouring countries to send in troops.
