The government of The Gambia has reacted to the African Union Peace and Security Council Resolution on the Islamic Republic of The Gambia on the current political situation of the country.
Following the meeting in Addis Ababa on January 13th, African Union's Peace and Security Council announced it will no longer recognize Yahya Jammeh as president of Gambia after January 19, the intended date for the inauguration of president-elect, Adama Barrow.
The council also warned of "serious consequences in the event that his action causes any crisis that could lead to political disorder, humanitarian and human rights disaster, including loss of innocent lives and destruction of properties." In a statement release on Sunday evening, the Gambian government described the African Union’s resolution as irresponsible and malicious meant to annoy and aggravate the political situation in The Gambia.
“We condemned it in the strongest possible terms," the statement read.
Below is the full text:
"The Government of the Islamic Republic of The Gambia has noted with concern the resolution by the AU Peace and Security Council stating inter Alia that the Government of The Islamic Republic of The Gambia will no longer be recognised after the 19th January 2017. This resolution is irresponsible and malicious and only meant to annoy and aggravate the political situation in The Gambia and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
The AU Peace and Security Council does not have the mandate to bar member states and governments from The African Union. Any such resolution has to be approved by the authority of the heads of State of the African Union.
This resolution has not been approved and the resolution is therefore non-binding and of no effect

This is just ***barred word*** from the government. even one like senegal which surrounds the whole country (gambia) can take out this ***barred word***.
The world must teach this ***barred word*** man a lesson just like they did to Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Taylor.
EMINENT LIQUIDATION AWAITS HIM. IT IS A MATTER OF TIME
The world is waiting until there is rebels then they can sell guns and ammunitions and destroy it like other countries. what is London doing? can't they learn from France how they butted Cote D'lovire president out of power. Please and a big please don't wait until is too late, take action now ecowas.
This Jammeh guy must be called to order. We are in a stage in the world where people must not be allowed to take the laws into their own hands. Yaya Jammeh doesn't own Gambia and he must be made to know that. Beyond his greed to hold on to power, we as Africans should know that the repercussions of his actions could be very devastating. He has made his country and Islamic State and do we know the implications? The earlier he is booted out the better for all of us.
attention to the world, the whole world including united nations forces, africa forces, world people must come together and attack yaya jammaeh in gambia, arrest him, sentence him for 100 years or life in prison for ***barred word*** like him to learn a lesson, he is a ***barred word*** who want to die but want to destroy things, the world must act now, from people of the world,
