Hatimae amekubali kuondoka madarakani baada ya kushawishiwa na Rais wa Mauritania, inasubiriwa atoe statement tu.
--
Gambia's new president has said that Yahya Jammeh, who ruled the country for 22 years and refused to step down after losing the recent election, has finally "agreed to leave".

Writing on Twitter on Friday, Adama Barrow said Jammeh would also leave the country.

"I would like to inform you that Yahya Jammeh has agreed to step down. He is scheduled to depart Gambia today. [HASHTAG]#NewGambia[/HASHTAG]," he tweeted.

Barrow was sworn-in at Gambia's embassy in Dakar in neighbouring Senegal, on Thursday.

Red carpets were on Friday reportedly laid out at the airport in Gambia's capital in what appeared to be preparations for a speech by Jammeh and a departure.

Also on Friday, Gambia's chief of defence forces Ousmane Badjie pledged his allegiance to the country's new president, a major shift as mediation continued to persuade defeated Jammeh to cede power.

Jammeh had rejected Barrow's December 1 election win, despite significant pressure from regional powers and the UN, sparking a major crisis.

Angalau lakini, kuepusha umwagaji damu.

Mungu ambariki pia kwa kuepusha damu kumwagika, japo mabaya yake ni mengi sana wakati wa utawala wake, but at least this is good.

anatakiwa kukamatwa na kuwekwa kizuizini, heshima yake imefutika. pia, nashauri wakiona vipi aende uhamishoni kwasababu akibaki pale anaweza kuanzisha kikosi cha uhalifu.

A France24 journalist in The Gambia, Nicolas Germain, also confirmed this in a tweet. According to him, Jammeh is “currently writing the statement where he accepts to leave, in the presence of Guinean officials.”
