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.
My wife and I discussed this situation over breakfast. It's a good reminder of how grateful we can be for today - regardless of opinions about the new leader - I'm grateful for the process.
Hoping for peace.
