West African Troops Enter Gambia As Election Loser Clings To Power
by rd95

    West African troops have crossed the border with Gambia in an effort to uphold the result of the country's presidential election by force.

    The winner of the Dec. 1 vote, Adama Barrow, was officially sworn in as president at the country's embassy in neighboring Senegal earlier this afternoon. But Gambia's longtime leader, Yahya Jammeh, has refused to quit power despite mounting regional and international pressure.
