Gambia 2017

In a tweet from the BBC's Thomas Fessy 45 mins ago:

#Jammeh just boarded plane with his wife and #Guinea president - flying to #Conakry, it seems. #Gambia 22 years, The End.

And 20 mins ago:

#Jammeh is in the air - his plane has taken off, leaving the #Gambia. The end of a political crisis, the end of a 22-year rule. Great hopes

West African ways again. Not unexpectedly and maybe part of the agreement for Jammeh to leave he could take:

..a cargo plane accompanying the president. He also departed with a second Rolls-Royce, a Mercedes-Benz, and other cars and luxury items.

Elsewhere I have seen a report that USS11m in cash vanished too.

His destination Equatorial Guinea, a rich country in theory and exploited by its ruling family. So Jammeh will fit in there.
