On his first trip outside Africa, new Gambian President Adama Barrow said he was confident France and the EU would boost financial support to his country after 22 years of dictatorship. Barrow estimated that his predecessor, Yahya Jammeh, had embezzled the equivalent of 85 million euros domestically, with inquiries open into his activities abroad. Justice, Barrow insisted, would be served.
Barely two months after he was sworn into office at a ceremony in neighbouring Senegal following a post-electoral crisis in his country, Barrow said he was determined to put Gambia on the road to recovery.
Speaking to FRANCE 24’s Marc Perelman, Barrow stressed that inquiries into the extent of Jammeh’s embezzlement were still underway, but he estimated that so far, experts had determined that the former dictator had looted 4 billion dalasi (approximately 85 million euros) domestically. An inquiry commission was still looking into other areas and the assets Jammeh had transferred abroad.
“The Gambia was looted. The Gambia was robbed by the [former] president. If you rob the Gambia, obviously we would want to recover, if there are any assets we feel we want to recover, why not?” said Barrow.
When asked about his unusual ascent to power following the contested 2016 presidential election, Barrow insisted he was not “an accidental president” and that he had secured his party’s nomination as well as his electoral victory through the democratic process.

France 24, what i want to ask you first of all is that, why is France the only Western country who used to interfear into African politics? And my second point is that, how many war's have France involved into, and how many people where killed in those war's by the French soldiers? My third questions is that, where is the lybian money which the French government took as loans from lybia in the time of Gaddafi? My forth question is that, why non of the French presidents appear to court for charges on human rights violence, killing of inorcent people, rubbing and stealing the resources of those countries at their times of operations? My fifth question is that, why non of the French medias especially France 24 haven't done no interviews on that yet to the French leaders?.
Dictatorship? And what is France doing in Africa? Is it not absolute dictatorship?
I am Rohingya ❤️ Gambia Very good ❤️❤️❤️🤲🤲🤲❤️👍👍👍👍
THE PRESIDENT BY ACCIDENT
😆😆😆😆😆 Gambia has regretted
PEACE AND LOVE IN GAMBIA..ONE LOVE . RESPECT.
He is not an accidental president he is an elected president.
I dont have words to describe how ashamed i am of this man being our president , a blind man leading our country to a bigggggggg hole which will difficult to climb back up from!!!!!
Jammeh talking the truth
well he is our president and their is a reason why he is if we all stand together and help our country we will go forward but if people want him to fail we will fail all of us let's think about that
Bam you're right brother or sister if everyone stops talking this nonsense and do what you just said now things will be alright i can see thos who's talking something thosen't make any sense let's just don't mind because they know nothing.
Gambia doesn't deserved such accidental head of state because he lacked the requirements of a leader.even of a house holder.
I'm sad that the president is polite, if that was me he will never asked me such
My president is a gentleman he doesn't want to answer him free word because he have respect for everyone old and young.
Out of 2 million of Gambian population , only 100 are benefiting from those grants
3 million….
Absolutely true
Why can you stop going to France and work hard and stop begin charity mr president open your mind and eyes
I would like to know what is his vision for the Gambia, will he effect positive change or just be another tool of service for France and Europe? think about your people and the rise of your country Mr Adam Barrow.
4 years later he has no plan! He has 80 luxury cars and the country is being sold to the highest bidder! The Gambia has experienced weekly murders which were unheard of before he took office! Security where? The police don’t even have walkie talkies 😢let alone a central police line which can reach emergencies, the youth have no hope, babies dying from expired medication and the Indian culprits have gotten away with murder! No sufficient hospitals health care or education. This man is a big fat lier, he keeps borrowing money. Where is the money going? Enquire about your missing money. You’re looting the Gambia!!

Your current life is better with Barro than before. So you don't have to need Yaya to come back.
This one considered himself as tyrent in Gambia. Not only did he muzzle your mouth but also he killed so many political opponents among you.
meanwhile Barro is To reorganise his country because what's going on in Gambia is beyond the democracy, it's a genuine debauchery. Wherever you go,you find there women who're quite indiscriminate in sexual relations and they 've the courage to publicly tempt you ,which is very Boring.
