a President. He had become a cult figure.

Jammeh still threw biscuits and money while standing through the roof of his Presidential car, while people were still disappearing. He banned female genital mutilation and child marriage, but still had enough time on his hands to

detain political opponents.

His grip on the country grew tighter, especially after another coup attempt in 2014. And it seemed that maybe his people were growing tired.

Jammeh the Lonely.

Fast forward to the 2016 elections on the 1st of December. Jammeh suffered a surprising defeat to Adama Barrow. In the spirit of sportsmanship, he called Adama on live TV to congratulate him on his victory.

But on December 9, Jammeh came out to say he wouldn’t accept the result of the elections, and so he filed a petitionto the Supreme Court to contest it.

No one seemed to give a damn.

23rd of December, ECOWAS warned that if he did not hand over on the 19th of January, they would remove him by force. The African Union said he would no longer be recognised as president on the 19th too.

Jammeh tried to block Barrow’s inauguration, but the Chief Justice refused to rule on the matter.

By January 17, most of his ministers and cabinet had resigned. His Vice President of 20 years, Isatou Njie-Saidy, resigned the next day.

That same day, the parliament voted to extend his term by 3 months.

No one gave a damn about that. Last time he asked for 3 months, he sat there for 22 years.
