What's hindering the smooth transfer of power in Africa? - Inside Story
After 22 years in power, Yahya Jammeh has left Gambia.
The former President flew into exile heading for Equatorial Guinea.
He'd refused to step down after losing the presidential election last month.
The standoff caused neighbouring countries in West Africa to send in troops, threatening to remove Jammeh from office by force if he didn't budge.
Jammeh's departure is a new era for Africa's smallest country.
Several African leaders over the years have attempted to remain in power beyond their mandate.
Some succeeded.
Other power struggles led to mass killings
Inside Story discusses the hurdles facing a peaceful democratic transition in the African continent.
