Yaya jameh thousands flee gambia as crisis deepens

It seems like you're referring to a recent news article about the crisis in The Gambia. Here's a summary of the situation:

Thousands of people have fled The Gambia as the political crisis in the country deepens. The Gambia, a small West African nation, has been in a state of turmoil since President Adama Barrow's government was overthrown in a military coup led by former President Yahya Jammeh in 2017.

Yahya Jammeh, who ruled The Gambia for 22 years, refused to step down after losing the 2016 presidential election to Adama Barrow. The crisis escalated when Jammeh's forces clashed with the military, leading to the deaths of several people.

Since then, thousands of Gambians have fled the country, seeking refuge in neighboring Senegal, Guinea, and other countries. Many have also been forced to flee their homes due to violence and human rights abuses.

The situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further strained the country's already fragile economy and healthcare system.

The international community has called for calm and restraint, urging both sides to resolve the crisis peacefully. The African Union, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the United Nations have all condemned the coup and called for Jammeh's immediate departure.

The crisis in The Gambia highlights the ongoing challenges facing many West African countries, including political instability, economic insecurity, and human rights abuses.
