Several Gambians took to the streets to celebrate the swearing-in of
President Adama Barrow on television live from Senegal, even as African
troops approached.
Young men shouted and sang while hanging out of cars, as children danced
with their mothers on main roads near to the capital, Banjul, where the
long-serving leader Yahya Jammeh was believed to remain despite the
expiry of his mandate.
