A lot of observers are watching to see how things pan out in Gambia come the presidential hand over - that is if there is going to be one.
When one man holds a whole country to ransom and defies the wish of his people to step down. Now, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has got involved and have stated that Senegal has been chosen to lead operations "to restore the people's wishes" if needed.
Mr Jammeh lost the presidential elections and initially accepted defeat in the 1 December poll, but later said it was flawed.
Senegal's troops are on alert to intervene in The Gambia if
President Yahya Jammeh refuses to step down next month, the regional bloc
Ecowas says.
President Jammeh has already said he will not be
intimidated, saying Ecowas had no authority to interfere.
