Ex-President Yahya Jammeh Leaves Gambia

Gambia's former President Yahya Jammeh has left the country in the wake of elections that ousted him after 22 years in power. 
He boarded a plane to Guinea and from there will travel on to exile in Equatorial Guinea, regional group Ecowas said. 
Jammeh was defeated in December's election by Adama Barrow but went on to challenge the results. 
Barrow has been in Senegal but says he will return to The Gambia soon. 
In an interview with the BBC, Barrow said he wanted to create a truth and reconciliation committee to investigate allegations of human rights abuses during Jammeh's time in office. 
President of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), Marcel de Souza said the military operation that had sent West African troops into The Gambia in support of Barrow, was now ended, although some would remain to ensure security. 
After 22 years in power, he left bound for Guinea where it is believed he will stay before going on to another country. 
He is the first president to peacefully hand over power in The Gambia since independence from Britain in 1965.
