President Barrow joins Senegal’s Sall in Friday prayers

Gambia’s new President Adama Barrow today performed his Friday prayers with host Senegalese President Macky Sall at the Omarienne Mosque in Dakar.

President Barrow was sworn-in on Thursday at the Gambian Embassy in Dakar following a directive from the sub-regional bloc, ECOWAS, that authorized him to stay in Senegal after approval from President Sall.

Thousands of people attended the Friday prayers with the two leaders.

Meanwhile, there are ongoing and intense talks between former President Yahya Jammeh and two West African leaders – Alpha Conde of Guinea and Muhamad Abdul Ould Aziz of Mauritania.
