We
welcome the transfer of power to Adama Barrow, who was elected as President of
The Gambia as a result of the elections held on 1st of December 2016.
We
appreciate the prudent stance shown by the Gambian people during this period
which helped to prevent instability in the country.
The
efforts of the mediation committee which is composed of regional leaders and
established upon the initiative of the Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS) aiming to ensure transfer of power has set another concrete
example for “finding African solutions for African problems”.
