The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has issued a strong warning against recent statements made by former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, who is currently in exile. The Authority deplores to Jammeh’s attempts to disturb the peace and security of The Gambia and warns that breaching the conditions of his asylum in Equatorial Guinea, as well as interfering with the peace and security of The Gambia and the wider region, will have consequences.
For several years, former President of The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh, has threatened to return to the country by force despite being in exile in Equatorial Guinea since 2017. His most recent statement came on 26 October 2025, when he once again declared his intention to return in November, prompting his supporters to hold rallies in preparation.

While his supporters welcomed the news with enthusiasm, many have condemned these declarations as a serious threat to The Gambia’s peace and stability, particularly given the violent nature of his former regime.
