BREAKING: Sodliers from Senegal march into Gambia after Barrow's swearing-in

Soldiers of the Senegalese troopshave reportedly entered The Gambia in protection of the just sworn-in Adama Barrow as the president of the country, the BBC has reported.

This is as the defeated Yahya Jammeh, who until January 19 was the president, has refused to quit.

The African Union and the ECOWAS have mobilised to force Jammeh out of office in the face of heightened tension.

The BBC also reported that Barrow has called on soldiers of the country to show their loyalty to him to ensure a peaceful transition of power.

He said this as he took an oath of office in neighbouring Senegal.
