‘Gambia is back again,’ but Its new leader Is still in Senegal

‘Gambia is back again,’ but Its new leader Is still in Senegal
President Adama Barrow of Gambia pledged Sunday to improve his country’s economy, free its political prisoners and create a commission to look into the brutal legacy of his predecessor.
Gambia should adopt a modified semi-presidential system of government, limiting the president to one 5-year term with no eligibility to hold office for 6 years afterwards
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Gambia’s constitutional mechanism has failed, and the country is in bad need of comprehensive constitutional reform. The president should be limited to one 5-year term, with no eligibility to hold office for 6 years afterwards. Law that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not grant the right to resist is not a constitution. When the president’s actions are unconstitutional, the people have a right to resist, and when a dictatorship becomes a reality, the people are obligated to rise up.
