The Gambia’s Foreign Affair Minister Neneh MacDouall-Gaye, has tendered her resignation letter, before fleeing the country, on Tuesday morning.
MacDouall-Gaye’s resignation comes barely a week after Gambia’s Information Minister, Sheriff Bojang, resigned and fled the country, in protest of the refusal of Jammeh to accept the result of December’s Presidential election.
Recall, that the country’s Supreme Court had on Monday, refused Jammeh and his party’s application to stop the inauguration of President-Elect, Adama Barrow.
The resignation letter reads: “This letter serves as a formal notice of my resignation as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of The Gambia.”
“After due deliberation, I am of the conviction that under the prevailing circumstances, I cannot effectively serve as Foreign Minister.”
She thanked Jammeh for the opportunity to serve the country, while praying to Allah that the country’s political “impasse be resolved peacefully to the pride of The Gambia nation.”
Jammeh, has come under increasing pressure from the African Union, AU, and the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, to accept the result of the December 1 Presidential election, and hand over to the President-Elect, Adama Barrow.
