Desperate to hold on to power, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has declared a state of emergency, citing foreign interference in the presidential election he lost last month.
In a television broadcast on Tuesday, Jammeh said the declaration was necessary “due to the unprecedented and extraordinary amount of foreign inference in the December 1 presidential elections and also in the internal affairs of The Gambia,”
“ This had created an unwarranted hostile atmosphere, threatening the sovereignty, peace, security and stability of the country,” he added.
