Gambia's defeated leader agrees to cede power
Bangul - Arab Today
The Gambia's long-term leader Yahya Jammeh said he will step down, after refusing to accept defeat in elections, according to the BBC.
In an announcement on state TV, he said it was "not necessary that a single drop of blood be shed".
The statement followed hours of talks between Mr Jammeh and West African mediators. He gave no details of what deal might have been struck.
Jammeh has led the country for 22 years but was defeated in December's election by Adama Barrow.
Barrow has been in neighboring Senegal for days and was inaugurated as president in the Gambian embassy there on Thursday.
Troops from several West African nations, including Senegal, have been deployed in Gambia, threatening to drive Jammeh out of office if he did not agree to go.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
