Gambias vice president resigns as military action looms

You're referring to the recent news about the Gambia!

Yes, it's true. On January 17, 2022, Gambian Vice President Badara Joof resigned from his position, citing personal reasons. This development comes at a time when the country is facing a looming military action, as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has threatened to intervene in the country to restore democracy and stability.

The situation in the Gambia has been tense since the 2021 presidential election, which was won by Adama Barrow, the incumbent president. However, the opposition parties have disputed the results, claiming that the election was marred by irregularities and fraud.

In response to the political crisis, ECOWAS has given the Gambian government a deadline to resolve the situation peacefully. If the government fails to do so, ECOWAS has threatened to take military action to restore democracy and stability in the country.

The resignation of Vice President Joof has raised questions about the stability of the government and the country's ability to navigate the current crisis. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days and weeks.
