Gambia’s new president says defeated leader Yahya Jammeh is expected to leave for Guinea within hours.
Whiles the full terms of the deal are yet to be made known, Jammeh is largely expected to fly out to Conakry, the Guinean capital with Conde, who he describes as his ‘friend’ in the hard times.
Adama Barrow tells The Associated Press that he will return home to Gambia once it’s “clear” and a security sweep has been completed.

He spoke in an interview on Saturday; just hours after Jammeh announced he would relinquish power.
The deal with Jammeh was brokered by Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and his Guinean counterpart, Alpha Conde.
Barrow is in neighbouring Senegal, where he was inaugurated on Thursday amid concerns for his safety.
