USA Africa Dialogue Series - Yahya Jammeh of Gambia Must be forced out

I listened to the new year message from Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh, the outgoing President of the Gambia and I was deeply shocked to see political buffoonery at the worst level. After Idi Amin of Uganda, we thought the era of tyrants in Africa was over. He claimed that the planned attack by ECOWAS to force him out amounted to declaration of war against the Gambia. Now Yahya Jammeh is the Gambia and Gambia is Yahya Jammeh! He must be forced out by ECOWAS and all democracies in Africa should send forces to teach this demagogue a lesson by forcing him out.

After Jammeh has been removed, Africa should focus on removing Robert Mugabe, Paul Biya, Eduardo dos Santos, Yoweri Museveni, Paul Kagame, Pierre Nkurunziza and other dictators from power. The continent still needs revolutionaries. Yahya Jammeh should borrow a leaf from John Mahama of Ghana, and understand that in democracy you hand over power once you have been defeated at the polls.
