Former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hanna Tetteh, has come under a barrage of attacks for her tweets questioning the coverage of the Gambian crisis by the Ghanaian media.

The Gambia has been thrown into a state of confusion over an election dispute involving Gambian President Yahya Jammeh and Adama Barrow.

Yahya Jammeh shockingly lost and conceded defeat to winner of the December 1 2016 polls, Adama Barrow, but later rescinded his decision and has challenged the outcome of the election in court.

Jammeh's refusal to step down and Barrow's determination to succeed him as President on Thursday January 19 has left Gambia on tenterhooks with over 26,000 people fleeing to neighboring Senegal.
