The Gambia’s leader Yahya Jammeh will step down and leave the country, according to the country’s President, Adama Barrow.
The new President made the announcement on Twitter, after hours of talks aimed at persuading Mr Jammeh to recognise the result of the presidential election with the Presidents of Muritania and Liberia.
West African nations have deployed troops in The Gambia threatening to drive him out of office by force.
Mr Barrow was sworn in yesterday in the Gambian embassy in Senegal.
