Ten’s of thousands of euphoric Gambians lined the streets for miles – and miles! (an estimated over 100,000 Gambians flocked the main road) – to welcome home their new president, Adama Barrow . Due to potential security risks, Barrow had briefly exiled himself to neighbouring Senegal , where he was inaugurated at the Gambian Embassy, Dakar.
