Former President Yahya Jammeh has finally left Gambia for exile after he agreed to step down for new President, Adama Barrow following days of international pressure.

Former Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh
 
Alhaji Yahya  Jammeh, former president of Gambia has left Banjul, the capital  to begin an indefinite term in exile. He left just after 10.00pm for Conakry, along with President Alpha Conde.
 
To rub his large ego, he was  given a full ceremonial honour  by the military brass band and a red carpet treatment.
 
Hordes of journalists and a battery of photographers had camped all day at the Banjul International Airport waiting for his departure, after an agreement was reached Friday night with President Alpha Conde of Guinea and President Abd.
 
Signs of Jammeh’s exit came at about 9pm Nigerian time, when one of the journalists keeping vigil, tweeted:
 
“The #Gambia military brass band is here @ the airport. The red carpet has been rolled out. Yahya Jammeh should be on his way.”
The former soldier turned civilian leader held sway in the country for 22 years and had vowed to rule the country for a hyperbolic ‘billion years’ until he was thrashed in the presidential election by a political green horn, Adama Barrow.

It is not clear where Jammeh will end up eventually. He flew out with President Alpha Conde in an aircraft owned by Mauritania.
 
After landing in Conakry, Jammeh  may finally be heading to Malabo, capital of Equatorial Guinea, ruled  by another African pseudo democrat,Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo who has been in power since 1979.
