Gambia's Ambassador To The US Resigns, Calls On Sit-Tight President To Step Down

The Gambian ambassador to the US, Sheikh Omar Faye, is the latest to jump from the sinking Jammeh ship calling on him to step down.

In a letter addressed to the brutal despot in  Banjul, Mr Faye enunciated that the recent announcement annulling the results after initial concession had come as a huge disappointment to him.

He then added: ” I am supporting the will of Gambian people by recognizing Mr Adama Barrow as the president elect of The Gambia out of my personal decision and desire to safeguard the peace and social cohesion of our beloved country”.

The Gambia’s chief diplomat in Washington maintained that he did not discuss his decision with any member of the coalition, noting that it was indicted purely by national rather than personal interest.
