Workers of the international airport in The Gambia are very busy as European countries issue travel warnings to their citizens following President Yahya Jammeh’s refusal to step down.

According to Ceoafrica, a state of emergency has been declared, and yesterday the parliament extended Jammeh’s term for three months, even though today should be his last day as president following December elections which he lost.

Thomas Cook said it was evacuating about 1,000 tourists on package holidays, in which Dutch citizens are also to be flown home from The Gambia today.
