A recent warning by ECOWAS to former Gambian president Yahya Jammeh has triggered mixed reactions, raising questions about the regional bloc’s role in delivering justice.
In a statement, ECOWAS urged Jammeh to refrain from actions, including releasing audio messages, that could heighten political tensions in the country.
The warning was issued during the 68th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, as The Gambia enters an election period.
Reacting to the development, Madi Jobarteh, Executive Director of the Edward Francis Small Center for Rights and Justice, argues that the regional bloc’s intervention came far too late.
